Description

Wait until games stop using it, then remove.

Here are some awaiting PRs.
https://github.com/techannihilation/TA/pull/1676

Games that still use it and need PRs:
https://github.com/GoogleFrog/spring1944
https://github.com/Arch-Shaman/ZK-Futurewars-Mod

AFAICT other games already don't use it, but double-check.

Research direction

Start by checking references to VFSUtils.lua in RecoilEngine and reviewing PR 1676. Confirm whether spring1944 and ZK-Futurewars-Mod still use it, and check the listed repositories for migration work. Done means all known game dependencies are removed or addressed and VFSUtils.lua can be deleted safely.
