[Maintenance] Fix the case of `nearheap[data].asm`'s path
...
Previously broke the build on repository checkouts created by WSL git,
which enables per-directory case sensitivity for all directories within
the repo:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/per-directory-case-sensitivity-and-wsl/
Nice that this was the only path case issue in the entire repo!

Class CFloatingText in uth05win… but I decided against naming it like
that because of some stage/BGM title-related variables in the middle.

In which ZUN uses little-endian BCD as the exclusive internal storage

So apparently, this way of distorting a circle into an ellipse (?) by
adding a value to the angle for one of the two coordinates isn't
actually widely known in math and doesn't have a name. Fair enough.

… because TH04's version of this takes the ASCII stage ID directly from

So boss battles are simply triggered by setting the background tile
