DX9: When clearing the back buffer in Renderer::Swap(), use IDirect3DDevice9::Clear instead of a clear quad if possible. Should improve performance marginally.

Explanation of this commit: We only have to care about four BP registers in ClearScreen, the remaining API state should be reset. The colorEnable and alphaEnable parameters are obsolete, for some reason directly using them caused the SMS glitch with DX11 (because of that bpmem.zcontrol.pixel_format == PIXELFMT_RGBA6_Z24 check in BPFunctions.cpp, is this one actually correct?)
The comment in BPFunctions.cpp was at least misleading (if not even wrong), so I removed it.
For what it's worth, someone needs to port this to the OpenGL and Software plugins (unless they're doing this properly already)

Fixes issue 3399.
Also remove unnecessary stateman/gfxstate applies:
- gfxstate->ApplyState/Reset only need to be called by VertexManager
- stateman->Apply only needs to be called before any Draw/DrawIndexed call

Games affected by this change: Mario Smash Football, Mario Strikers Charged Football, Monster Hunter Tri.
Other games possibly affected: Shaun White Snowboarding, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Baten Kaitos.
This implementation will decrease performance if the game uses this feature, but the glitches will be gone. I'll add an option for this in a later commit. EFB pokes are somewhat slow in DX11 right now, speed should be okayish in DX9 though.
Other changes:
- SOMEWHAT cleaned up the EFB access code in DX9
- Fixed incompatible parameter list of AccessEFB and TVideo_AccessEFB.
- Fixed a theoretical bug in ReplaceRGBATexture2D, add support for STAGING textures
- Removed unused parameters in various DX9 functions

Real dimensions: Width and height of the original GameCube texture
Virtual dimensions: Width and height of the texture used by dolphin-emu's renderer

- Add a sanity check in CRenderFrame::MSWWindowProc. Possibly reduces the risk of a crash when starting a game and immediately closing the emulation window when using the DX9 plugin.
- DX11: Add the resource usage as a parameter to CreateQuadVertexBuffer, possibly to be used in the future.
- reduce the size of the EFB access buffers from 4x4 to 1x1 since they needn't be bigger anymore
- some fixes to the recent hires commit.

Should fix SMG for NVIDIA users. Slightly changes behavior of the AccessEFB function, so test this for regressions, please (esp. in HD resolutions).
I tried to apply the same changes to Video_DX9, but for some reason EFB access didn't work anymore then. Might look into that later.

Renamed EFB Scale to Internal Resolution.
Removed Auto Scale option (it is now always on).
Added on-the-fly changing of the Internal Resolution in the OpenGL and Direct3D9 plug-ins.
Further consolidated the code in the video plug-ins.

for all the plugins implemented per pixel lighting, this will make games that uses lighting a lot nice. (just look at mario sunshine and compare :))
for dx9: implemented temporal anaglyph stereo: just grab your red-cyan glasses and enjoy.
stereo calibration: use stereo separation ( distance of the point from you are looking) and Focal Angle: the angle necessary to focus in one particular object.
this settings are different in every games as they use different depth ranges.
please for any regression and bug introduced by this commit.
if you ask why i did not implement stereo in dx11 and opengl the reason is one: they don't work right when i have more time will try to find a way to make them work.

* Fixed the "Change disc..." command. The filename of the disc was being lost between functions.
* Split the ChangeDisc function into two functions: EjectDisc and InsertDisc
* Moved the "Change disc..." command to the File menu.
* Removed some log messages that caused the debug build to crash when loaded with release build plug-ins.

use plain vertex arrays instead of VBOs to render in Opengl plugin as the nature of the data make VBOs slower. This must bring, depending on the implementation, a good speedup in opengl.
in my system now opengl and d3d9 have a difference of 1 to 5 fps depending of the game.
some cleanup and a little work pointing to future improvements in the way of rendering.
please test and check for any errors.

Really that happens because the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative.
Example: CPReadWriteDistance: -864 CPEnd: 10092672 fifo.CPBase: 9568416
In SMG this is because PI_FIFO_RESET is writing and after fifo.CPReadWriteDistance will be setted to 0.
To Prevent that, I've Implemented AbortFrame function in the CommmandProcessor. It should fix overflown because of that.
Note: There is other issue (Issue 2846) where the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative too but the effect is different.
I'm working to solve this.

Remove a member variable which I introduced in r5907 although it never actually got used. Restores binary compatibility (at least in that regard) to pre-r5907 video plugins, but breaks any binaries after that :P
Update FIFO watermark tightness recommendations. 1000 is quite a high value I guess, but some people seem to need it.

The code changes disable the usual pipeline flush for certain BP Writes that occur while the minimap is being drawn in Zelda: twilight princess. This significantly increases speed while in hyrule field. The way this is accomplished is described more in depth on page 42 of Xtreme's thread. Big thanks to Xtreme for doing a great job hosting that thread, and Kiesel-stein for initial work on the hack
Also, I used the resource editor in Visual studio to generate the GUI code for the DX11 plugin, and some code appeared to be removed, although the behavior of the GUI did not seem to change. Hopefully someone more experienced with resource files (forms?) can double check that no code was damaged

- fix numerous warnings
- make some variables unsigned
- remove redundant code and header inclusions
- make code more compact in lots of cases
Committing some additional changes by myself:
- additional header cleanups
- cleanup DX11 initialization/shutdown process (hinted at by avindra)
- Remove the cgD3D9 stuff from Externals since it's no longer needed

- Eliminate the useless check for cpu modifications option from efb to ram as it must be enabled always
- use constant names in dx11 for buffer length calculation instead to simplify code reading
- implemented scaled efb copy in opengl, still bugy in some games, the option is not in the gui but will add it when it works perfect
- Change the depth calculation behavior:
if the game use z textures is exactly the same as before.
if the game do not use z texture calculate z values in the vertex shader. the advantage id this approach is that early z culling is applied,
improving fill rate. this mus speed up things, even with ssaa and msaa enabled.
please test for regression and enjoy.

Dynamically load a d3dx9 dll at runtime (I tested Dolphin with the first d3dx9 dll and it even worked fine there).

using it as a constant in several places. Saves a few bytes and the time
it takes to recompile a bunch of files whenever svnversion twitches.
Using the SVN version string as an integer is not portable as the Unix
svnversion always includes e.g. the "M" suffix for a modified tree.
Windows people, please check my change to Plugin_VideoDX9/Src/main.cpp
as I don't really understand how _T() and the %hs format string work.

return to the old values in constants in pixelshader, the old values give mi 3 or 4 fps more,(maybe some kind of compiler optimization) in some games and with the current algorithm i notice no difference with this values, please report any problem.
optimizes SSAA to make it a little faster and, the quality should be the same but with a little speedup.
change the way the frame is processed depending is xfb is enabled or not to make this a little faster.
please test and report any problem

1 - Optimize pixelshadergen to avoid redundant register overflow math, with this if a game don't need this will be not applied.
this must bring some fill rate back and improve speed a little in fill rate limited systems.
2- some corrections to vertexshadergen to avoid uninitialized texture coordinates, dono if is the correct way to fix it but t least it will make house of the dead overkill playable in dx11.
the bad thing: still missing geometri in dx9, in dx11 it works exactly as on opengl.
3 - some optimization made to improve fps a little wih the latests changes made to fifo.
* back to the original code in beginfield as now it will work right.
* check for efb access more often as a lot of time is lost waiting for efb access
4 - apply a little fix for missing textures in nvidia opengl tanks to Wagnard28 for finding that nvidia does not like invalid shader id :)
please test for any regression

Dual Core sync fix.
When the FIFO is processing data we must not advance the cpu cycles in CoreTiming because in this way the VI will be desynchronized. So, We are waiting until the FIFO finish and while we process only the events required by the FIFO.
This should fix Issue 2072 .
This affect to all games in dual core mode.
Please, You can test all games with VPS limiter auto, 60, 50 depending of the game and compare with prev revision.
For example now NSMB in the video Intro has 60 fps (prev 30 fps) :D or SMG does't need anymore FPS Limitter Hack to get 55-60 fps
Beside the slowdowns now are more softly and the fps more stables because the VI sync is almost perfect.
The Core Timing and Fifo modifications are delicated. Please report if this hang any game. Don't forget check with prev revision.
Enjoy it! Thanks to Rodolfo for teach me all about dolphin.
