That way, they're in the same place the panic alerts are generated.

A pop-up is no longer generated for the Wiggler capsule in Mario Party 5 (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/8104).

Keeps the global localized with the code that it's primarily related to.
Now it's obvious from a glance what the global variable is affecting.

Gets several constants out of global scope.

Gets rid of some indirect inclusions in cpp files.
Also this will reduce the amount of rebuilt files if
changes occur in the DataReader header.

Texture updates have been moved into TextureCache, while
TMEM updates where moved into bpmem. Code for handling
efb2ram updates was added to TextureCache.
There was a bug for preloaded RGBA8 textures, it only copied
half the texture. The TODO was wrong too.

included first.
This is good hygiene, and also happens to be required to build Dolphin
using Clang modules.
(Under this setup, each header file becomes a module, and each #include
is automatically translated to a module import. Recursive includes
still leak through (by default), but modules are compiled independently,
and can't depend on defines or types having previously been set up. The
main reason to retrofit it onto Dolphin is compilation performance - no
more textual includes whatsoever, rather than putting a few blessed
common headers into a PCH. Unfortunately, I found multiple Clang bugs
while trying to build Dolphin this way, so it's not ready yet, but I can
start with this prerequisite.)

It's a relatively big commit (less big with -w), but it's hard to test
any of this separately...
The basic problem is that in netplay or movies, the state of the CPU
must be deterministic, including when the game receives notification
that the GPU has processed FIFO data. Dual core mode notifies the game
whenever the GPU thread actually gets around to doing the work, so it
isn't deterministic. Single core mode is because it notifies the game
'instantly' (after processing the data synchronously), but it's too slow
for many systems and games.
My old dc-netplay branch worked as follows: everything worked as normal
except the state of the CP registers was a lie, and the CPU thread only
delivered results when idle detection triggered (waiting for the GPU if
they weren't ready at that point). Usually, a game is idle iff all the
work for the frame has been done, except for a small amount of work
depending on the GPU result, so neither the CPU or the GPU waiting on
the other affected performance much. However, it's possible that the
game could be waiting for some earlier interrupt, and any of several
games which, for whatever reason, never went into a detectable idle
(even when I tried to improve the detection) would never receive results
at all. (The current method should have better compatibility, but it
also has slightly higher overhead and breaks some other things, so I
want to reimplement this, hopefully with less impact on the code, in the
future.)
With this commit, the basic idea is that the CPU thread acts as if the
work has been done instantly, like single core mode, but actually hands
it off asynchronously to the GPU thread (after backing up some data that
the game might change in memory before it's actually done). Since the
work isn't done, any feedback from the GPU to the CPU, such as real
XFB/EFB copies (virtual are OK), EFB pokes, performance queries, etc. is
broken; but most games work with these options disabled, and there is no
need to try to detect what the CPU thread is doing.
Technically: when the flag g_use_deterministic_gpu_thread (currently
stuck on) is on, the CPU thread calls RunGpu like in single core mode.
This function synchronously copies the data from the FIFO to the
internal video buffer and updates the CP registers, interrupts, etc.
However, instead of the regular ReadDataFromFifo followed by running the
opcode decoder, it runs ReadDataFromFifoOnCPU ->
OpcodeDecoder_Preprocess, which relatively quickly scans through the
FIFO data, detects SetFinish calls etc., which are immediately fired,
and saves certain associated data from memory (e.g. display lists) in
AuxBuffers (a parallel stream to the main FIFO, which is a bit slow at
the moment), before handing the data off to the GPU thread to actually
render. That makes up the bulk of this commit.
In various circumstances, including the aforementioned EFB pokes and
performance queries as well as swap requests (i.e. the end of a frame -
we don't want the CPU potentially pumping out frames too quickly and the
GPU falling behind*), SyncGPU is called to wait for actual completion.
The overhead mainly comes from OpcodeDecoder_Preprocess (which is,
again, synchronous), as well as the actual copying.
Currently, display lists and such are escrowed from main memory even
though they usually won't change over the course of a frame, and
textures are not even though they might, resulting in a small chance of
graphical glitches. When the texture locking (i.e. fault on write) code
lands, I can make this all correct and maybe a little faster.
* This suggests an alternate determinism method of just delaying results
until a short time before the end of each frame. For all I know this
might mostly work - I haven't tried it - but if any significant work
hinges on the competion of render to texture etc., the frame will be
missed.

Separated out from my gpu-determinism branch by request. It's not a big
commit; I just like to write long commit messages.
The main reason to kill it is hopefully a slight performance improvement
from avoiding the double switch (especially in single core mode);
however, this also improves cycle calculation, as described below.
- FifoCommandRunnable is removed; in its stead, Decode returns the
number of cycles (which only matters for "sync" GPU mode), or 0 if there
was not enough data, and is also responsible for unknown opcode alerts.
Decode and DecodeSemiNop are almost identical, so the latter is replaced
with a skipped_frame parameter to Decode. Doesn't mean we can't improve
skipped_frame mode to do less work; if, at such a point, branching on it
has too much overhead (it certainly won't now), it can always be changed
to a template parameter.
- FifoCommandRunnable used a fixed, large cycle count for display lists,
regardless of the contents. Presumably the actual hardware's processing
time is mostly the processing time of whatever commands are in the list,
and with this change InterpretDisplayList can just return the list's
cycle count to be added to the total. (Since the calculation for this
is part of Decode, it didn't seem easy to split this change up.)
To facilitate this, Decode also gains an explicit 'end' parameter in
lieu of FifoCommandRunnable's call to GetVideoBufferEndPtr, which can
point to there or to the end of a display list (or elsewhere in
gpu-determinism, but that's another story). Also, as a small
optimization, InterpretDisplayList now calls OpcodeDecoder_Run rather
than having its own Decode loop, to allow Decode to be inlined (haven't
checked whether this actually happens though).
skipped_frame mode still does not traverse display lists and uses the
old fake value of 45 cycles. degasus has suggested that this hack is
not essential for performance and can be removed, but I want to separate
any potential performance impact of that from this commit.

Hardware testing shows that they do the same thing as the 0x80 family of
opcodes: they draw quads.

This option was known to break every second game and only boost a bit.
It also seems to be broken because of streaming into pinned memory and buffer storage buffers.
v2: also remove dlc_desc
