add system in EMUFILE_FILE to switch correctly between read/write modes; add system in EMUFILE_FILE to (optionally) track current file position and avoid redundant fseeks - this code is UNTESTED.

add better console feedback when gbagame .sav is being scanned, to make developers less likely to think the emulator is frozen
- Fix bug where video filters weren't preferring to use the GPU by default.
- Display threads now each pull a copy of the video frame from the emulation thread, rather than the emulation thread pushing copies of the video frame to each display thread. (Slight performance improvement when many display threads are used.)
- Do a huge refactor of the display code.
- Add support for shader-based filters.
- New feature: The display pipeline has been separated into three parts - Source --> Pixel Scale --> Output. Different sets of filters may be applied to each part of the pipeline.
- Add the following source filters: Deposterize
- Add the following output filters: Bicubic (B-Spline), Bicubic (Mitchell-Netravali), Lanczos2, Lanczos3.
- Add shader-based equivalents to the following pixel scalers: Nearest 2x, Scanline, EPX, EPX+, Super Eagle, 2xSaI, Super 2xSaI. These will be used instead of the CPU-based scalers if "Run filters on GPU if possible" is enabled (default is enabled).
- Remove the following pixel scalers from the UI: Nearest 1.5x, Nearest+ 1.5x, Bilinear 2x, EPX 1.5x, EPX+ 1.5x. The reasoning behind this is because these pixel scalers aren't necessary due to the automatic sizing of display view to window. Also, the new output filters make it so that running similar pixel scalers along with an output filter will always yield superior results.
- When using multiple threads, ensure that all lines are accounted for when the line count isn't evenly divisible by the thread count.
- Add static method VideoFilter::GetAttributesByID().
- Reallocating the destination buffers now uses its own method. Reverts the changes from r5000.
- Prepare the code for the use of multi-pass filters.
- "Fix" opening ROM files of unknown file extension.
- Fix buffer overflow when last character of ROM game code is not a recognized country code.
- Add country code Chinese (iQue DS).
- Don't render HUD directly to gpu screen.
- Redraw display for some operations which updates HUD display.
- Make HUD aware of swapped screen and/or single screen.
