HBC uses files named icon.png for icons. This change makes Dolphin
support that file name, and also [executable file name].png
in case someone wants to have multiple files in one folder.
The HBC banner support is mainly intended for DOL and ELF files,
but it can also be used to override banners of disc images,
something that wasn't possible in the past.
There are currently issues with banner scaling not preserving
the aspect ratio and looking bad in general.
Baten Kaitos allocates its XFBs from a tagged heap
structure. With the old calculation, too many lines
were being written so the tag of the allocation
after the XFB was being corrupted. Fixes crash

OpenGL ES 3.2 adds this feature to core
It was available to GLES 3.1 as GL_{EXT, OES}_texture_buffer as well.
For the non-Nvidia vendors that implemented this is:
- Qualcomm's Adreno 4xx
- IMGTec's PowerVR Rogue
While going through and testing various NES VC games, I noticed Mega Man
5 was just displaying a black screen but the sound and button inputs
were working as expected. Turns out, there is no INI file for that game
id. Copying and renaming Mega Man 4's INI file appears to be enough to
get the game going.
Instead of having an "INS" instruction after every single instruction to duplicate the bottom 64bits in to the top 64bits of the register,
create a new FPR register cache type to track when a register's lower 64bits is supposed to be duplicated in to the high 64bits.
Not necessarily actually having the lower bits duplicated in the host side register. This removes inefficient INS instructions from sequential single
float instructions.
In particular a very heavy single heavy block in Animal Crossing went from 712 instructions down to 520 instructions(~37% less instructions!)
If we are flushing multiple sequential guest GPRs then we can store two in a single STP instruction.
Ikaruga does this quite a bit in their blocks where they do an lmw at the very end and then we have to flush them all.
Typically cuts 16 STR instructions down to 8 STP instructions there.
