This fixes a problem I was having where using frame advance with the
debugger open would frequently cause panic alerts about invalid addresses
due to the CPU thread changing MSR.DR while the host thread was trying
to access memory.
To aid in tracking down all the places where we weren't properly locking
the CPU, I've created a new type (in Core.h) that you have to pass as a
reference or pointer to functions that require running as the CPU thread.

This updates the lint script to require clang-format 9 and reformats
existing source code. Since VS2019 ships with clang-format 9 this
should make auto reformats less painful.
This also updates the clang-format configuration to set
BraceWrapping.AfterCaseLabel to true to ensure consistent brace
style; otherwise clang-format 9+ defaults to putting braces on
the same line as switch case labels.
QStringLiterals generate a buffer so that during runtime there's very
little cost to constructing a QString. However, this also means that
duplicated strings cannot be optimized out into a single entry that gets
referenced everywhere, taking up space in the binary.
Rather than use QStringLiteral(""), we can just use QString{} (the
default constructor) to signify the empty string. This gets rid of an
unnecessary string buffer from being created, saving a tiny bit of
space.
While we're at it, we can just use the character overloads of particular
functions when they're available instead of using a QString overload.
The characters in this case are Latin-1 to begin with, so we can just
specify the characters as QLatin1Char instances to use those overloads.
These will automatically convert to QChar if needed, so this is safe.
Adds the Hardware Implementation-Dependent registers to the register
pane, which makes it much nicer to see which hardware-specific features
are enabled or disabled.
Previously, PowerPC.h had four macros in it like so:
\#define rPS0(i) (*(double*)(&PowerPC::ppcState.ps[i][0]))
\#define rPS1(i) (*(double*)(&PowerPC::ppcState.ps[i][1]))
\#define riPS0(i) (*(u64*)(&PowerPC::ppcState.ps[i][0]))
\#define riPS1(i) (*(u64*)(&PowerPC::ppcState.ps[i][1]))
Casting between object representations like this is undefined behavior.
Given this is used heavily with the interpreter (that is, the most
accurate, but slowest CPU backend), we don't exactly want to allow
undefined behavior to creep into it.
Instead, this adds a helper struct for operating with the paired singles,
and replaces the four macros with a single macro for accessing the
paired-singles/floating-point registers.
This way, it's left up to the caller to explicitly decide how it wants to interpret
the data (and makes it more obvious where different interpretations of
the same data are occurring at, as there'll be a call to one of the
[x]AsDouble() functions).
