Removes the EFBAccessEnable=false explicit game overrides for:
GT6 (Terminator 3: The Redemption)
GXB (SSX3) [deleted - no other configuration]
RTH (Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam)
SNC (SONIC COLOURS) [deleted - no other configuration]
Adjusts the Texture Cache settings/slider to 512 samples which equates
to the 'middle' option in the UI.
If using the 'Safe' Texture Cache Accuracy mode, the left screen will only render bloom in 2P modes.
If using the 'Fast' Texture Cache Accuracy mode, the Intro Movie will
drop frames near the end when the "Shadow the Hedgehog" game title
letters appear. This mode also can result in artifacts/bleed from bloom
effects in some situations.
`EFBEmulateFormatChanges = True` properly emulates the blur in the pause screen.
`ImmediateXFBEnable = False` to prevent epilepsy-inducing FMVs and main menu.

The use of any anti-aliasing will cause graphical corruption, which occurs on the ground.
MaxAnisotropy is supposed to be for [Video_Enhancements], but also it doesn't cause any of the issues in game so it is being removed rather than set under the correct heading.
Added a comment on why these values are set.
These codes are actually Gecko codes so setting that correctly.
There were errors which pop up when running this game as the comments for AR codes need to be set with hash(#) instead of asterisk(*). I replaced those anyways.
Removed the url in the comment since it's inaccessible and not on wayback machine either.
Also corrected the GameID, the wrong one is listed.
The wrong filename was used so the settings weren't being applied.
The graphical issues reported were from enhancements that create graphical issues.
EFBToTextureEnable solves some graphical issues but those issues appear for only a few frames, the bulk of the game does not benefit while the setting while it is very sore on performance.
Arbitrary Mipmap Detection doesn't work when GPU Texture Decoding is
enabled, so disable GPU Texture Decoding for games where the .ini
enables Arbitrary Mipmap Detection.

These patches were added in bde9a459cd
and enabled by default in 36ecfdd6b5.
They allowed the game to run in Dolphin but disabled dynamic shadows.
The game adds 4 to the start address of otherwise valid display lists
for no obvious reason. Now that Dolphin forces 32-byte alignment these
patches are no longer needed.
Prototype of a system to whitelist known game patches that are allowed to be used while RetroAchievements Hardcore mode is active. ApprovedInis.txt contains known hashes for the ini files as they appear in the repo, and can be compared to the local versions of these files to ensure they have not been edited locally by the player. ApprovedInis.txt is hashed and verified similarly first, with its hash residing as a const string within AchievementManager.h, ensuring ApprovedInis and the hashes within cannot be modified without editing Dolphin's source code and recompiling completely.
Adjusts widescreen heuristic values to work properly for both the original game and the widescreen hack versions of Shadow the Hedgehog (all regions), Game ID GUP.
Credit to Billiard for determining values.
The defaults get loaded in by Dolphin at emulator start, and are used if the badge that would normally be displayed has not for whatever reason been downloaded yet. Badges attached to this PR are placeholders (MayIMilae is designing permanent badges) and reside in Sys\Load\RetroAchievements.
