DataReader is generally jank - it has a start and end pointer, but the end pointer is generally not used, and all of the vertex loaders mostly bypassed it anyways.
Wrapper code (the vertex loaer test, as well as Fifo.cpp and OpcodeDecoding.cpp) still uses it, as does the software vertex loader (which is not a subclass of VertexLoader). These can probably be eliminated later.

It is no longer relevant for the current set of loaders after 7030542546. If it becomes relevant again, a static function named IsUsable or IsCompatibleWithCurrentMachine or something would be a better approach.
Additionally, VCacheEnhance has been added to UVAT_group1. According to YAGCD, this field is always 1.
TVtxDesc also now has separate low and high fields whose hex values correspond with the proper registers, instead of having one 33-bit value. This change was made in a way that should be backwards-compatible.
