Currently, we use the alpha channel from the EFB even if the current
format does not include an alpha channel. Now, the alpha channel is set
to 1 if the format does not have an alpha channel, as well as truncating
to 5/6 bits per channel. This matches the EFB-to-texture behavior.
Some widescreen hacks (see below) properly force anamorphic output, but
don't make the last projection in a frame 16:9, so Dolphin doesn't
display it correctly.
This changes the heuristic code to assume a frame is anamorphic based on
the total number of vertex flushes in 4:3 and 16:9 projections that
frame. It also adds a bit of "aspect ratio inertia" by making it harder
to switch aspect ratios, which takes care of aspect ratio flickering
that some games / widescreen hacks would be susceptible with the new
logic.
I've tested this on SSX Tricky's native anamorphic support, Tom Clancy's
Splinter Cell (it stayed in 4:3 the whole time), and on the following
widescreen hacks for which the heuristic doesn't currently work:

Fixes bug #10183 [0] introduced by 3bd184a / PR #4467 [1].
TextureCacheBase was no longer calling `entry->Load` for custom textures
since the compute shader decoding logic was added. This adds it back in.
It also slightly restructures the decoding if-group to match the one
below, which I think makes the logic more obvious.
(recommend viewing with `git diff -b` to ignore the indentation changes)

New Super Mario Bros on PAL still renders at 60 fps, but skips every 5th XFB copy.
So our detection of "per frame" fails, and we require twice the amound of texture objects.
But our pool frees unused textures after 3 frames, so half of them needs to be reallocated
every few frames.
This commit removes the lock for render targets. It was introduced to not update a texture
while it is still in use. But render targets aren't updated while rendering, so this
lock isn't needed. Non-rendertarget textures however aren't as dynamic, so the lock should
have no performance update.
This stops the virtual method call from within the Renderer constructor.
The initialization here for GL had to be moved to VideoBackend, as the
Renderer constructor will not have been executed before the value is
required.
