Instead of comparing the game ID, revision, disc number and name,
we can compare a hash of important parts of the disc including
all the aforementioned data but also additional data such as the
FST. The primary reason why I'm making this change is to let us
catch more desyncs before they happen, but this should also fix
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12115. As a bonus, the UI can
now distinguish the case where a client doesn't have the game at
all from the case where a client has the wrong version of the game.
QStringLiterals generate a buffer so that during runtime there's very
little cost to constructing a QString. However, this also means that
duplicated strings cannot be optimized out into a single entry that gets
referenced everywhere, taking up space in the binary.
Rather than use QStringLiteral(""), we can just use QString{} (the
default constructor) to signify the empty string. This gets rid of an
unnecessary string buffer from being created, saving a tiny bit of
space.
While we're at it, we can just use the character overloads of particular
functions when they're available instead of using a QString overload.
The characters in this case are Latin-1 to begin with, so we can just
specify the characters as QLatin1Char instances to use those overloads.
These will automatically convert to QChar if needed, so this is safe.
This sends arbitrary packets in chunks to be reassembled at the other
end, allowing large data transfers to be speed-limited and interleaved
with other packets being sent. It also enables tracking the progress of
large data transfers.
