This reverts the revert commit bc67fc97c3,
except for the changes in BaseConfigLoader.cpp, which caused the bug
that made us revert 72cf2bdb87. PR 12917
contains an improved change to BaseConfigLoader.cpp, which can be merged
(or rejected) independently.
A few changes have also been made based on review comments.
This reverts commit 72cf2bdb87.
SYSCONF settings are getting cleared when they shouldn't be. Let's
revert the change until I get proper time to figure out why it's broken.
Some pieces of code are calling IsRunning because there's some
particular action that only makes sense when emulation is running, for
instance showing the state of the emulated CPU. IsRunning is appropriate
to use for this. Then there are pieces of code that are calling
IsRunning because there's some particular thing they must avoid doing
e.g. when the CPU thread is running or IOS is running. IsRunning isn't
quite appropriate for this. Such code should also be checking for the
states Starting and Stopping. Keep in mind that:
* When the state is Starting, the state can asynchronously change to
Running at any time.
* When we try to stop the core, the state gets set to Stopping before we
take any action to actually stop things.
This commit adds a new method Core::IsUninitialized, and changes all
callers of IsRunning and GetState that look to me like they should be
changed.
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 literal was deprecated in 5.14.0. Not to mention it wasn't
documented as part of the API either: see the 5.14.0 changelog here:
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/dist/changes-5.14.0?h=v5.14.0
On Qt 6.0 this define is removed entirely. To stay forward compatible,
we can make use of QStringLiteral instead.
