Adds support for sub-frame shaders to vulkan/glcore/dx10-11-12.
Builds on the concept already present for frame duplication in use for BFI, to present multiple 'sub' frames per real frame to the shaders, so they can run at a higher framerate than the content framerate. Must be enabled via subframe shaders setting under synchronization settings to be active.
Will allow BFI to be implemented inside of the shaders, among any other use for the higher framerate shader authors can devise.
CurrentSubFrame and TotalSubFrames have been available inside the shaders to track what they want to do on an given subframe. TotalSubFrames will always be 1 when the setting is disabled (and when in menu/ff/pause). Framecount will not increment on sub-frames, as it does not for injected bfi frames now. Should not interfere with any existing shaders that do not check for subframes.
Loading the last used disc for multi-disc content was automatic.
However, in some cases it is not wanted, as described in #16018
Option is added for controlling the function. Disabling the
option will also implicitly disable index saving.

BFI Updates
Significant BFI updates.
- Adds BFI to dx10/11/12 in general.
- Updates existing BFI menu option descriptions to be somewhat more clear in how to use correctly.
- Adds Variable Strobe length via new 'Dark Frames' bfi sub-choice. Only valid at 180hz and above, as it must work with whole frames.
- Algorithm to auto select 'decent' Dark Frames choice, for any given selected BFI refresh rate. Will also avoid defaults that can cause Image Retention at any Hz higher than 120. (Impossible to avoid at 120 if you have an affected screen... get an OLED :D ) .
- Some sanity checking on selecting BFI or the other synchronizations options like Swap Interval > 1, that don't play well with BFI.
Thumbnail packs are no longer available, but the option was still
present as "legacy thumbnail downloader". Since it serves no
purpose any more, it is removed from the code.
- Move flag logic to task_push_pl_entry_thumbnail_download - this
enables individual "download thumbnails" entry to be also flexible
- Add a message when this download has been tried enough times
(i.e. 3)
- Optimize cases when full or short name is the same as standard
name, skip queries if so (both download and local file)
* ensure game placard is loaded on main thread
* show on-screen indicator while disconnected
* show server unreachable message in achievements menu
* remove comment
* Updates to the netplay netpacket interface
- Switch environment call number from 76 to 78 (retire 76 as it was never used by any core)
- Simplify broadcasts by removing the option to send to all but one client
- Separate explicit flushing and querying of incoming packet into two operations (RETRO_NETPACKET_FLUSH_HINT and retro_netpacket_poll_receive_t)
- Enable a core to specify a protocol version string which can get used instead of core version to determine compatibility between two players
- Log and notify a separate message when there is a content crc mismsatch to convey it being less severe (as different games may be able to do network communication with each other)
* C89 compile fix
There are cases when mixer exists without ffmpeg. In such cases,
some music content can still be added to the mixer for playback.
Logic added to separate the two cases.
* AI service rework
* File missing
* Fixed C89 build
* Fixed usage of inline for C89 build
* Fixed an overlay unloading bug
Made sure to unload the overlay on release and when the server returns empty values in automatic modes.
* Fixed forward decl (c89)
* Fixed OpenGL texture loading
Moved image display to the main thread for now
* Changed some formatting slightly
* Fixed struct variable order and put brackets on newlines
* Moved pointer, fixed retroarch.cfg, and replaced strlcat with strlcpy
* Fixed catenation issue
* Fixed a few other catenation issues
* Fixed one more concatenation issue
* Fixed concatenation issue
* Fixed a few other concatenation issues
* Fixed one more concatenation issue
* potential fix for parsing issue

* Lakka: Switch: Decouple From LibNX builds.
* Lakka: Always show Power Management Settings menu
* Lakka: Switch: Add Nintendo Switch Options Menu, and First Option
* Lakka: Switch: Add CEC Toggle
* Lakka: Switch: Add Bluetooth ERTM Toggle
* Retroarch: unix platform: Always display battery meter even when the device reports it as unknown
This is useful for most arm devices that have unknown battery status until charger state changes
* Retroarch: Lakka: Remove Gamemode stuff from build
Lakka will never include this, as it only runs base system, and retroarch.
The menu item for matching the thumbnails with filenames was just "Use Filename", which isn't that descriptive. This change tweaks it a bit so that the option is a bit more clear.
So happy to have this feature in place.
