The current approach results in the UI thread creating a graphics device
whilst the core is running, leading to races on function pointers, and
potentially crashing.
Given this is a base class, we should clearly state what the parameters
to the functions in its exposed interface actually mean or represent.
This avoids needing to hunt for the definition of the functions in cpp
files.
While we're at it, normalize said parameter names so they follow our
naming guidelines.
This reverts commit 81414b4fa2, reversing

The new implementation has 3 options:
SyncGpuMaxDistance
SyncGpuMinDistance
SyncGpuOverclock
The MaxDistance controlls how many CPU cycles the CPU is allowed to be in front
of the GPU. Too low values will slow down extremly, too high values are as
unsynchronized and half of the games will crash.
The -MinDistance (negative) set how many cycles the GPU is allowed to be in
front of the CPU. As we are used to emulate an infinitiv fast GPU, this may be
set to any high (negative) number.
The last parameter is to hack a faster (>1.0) or slower(<1.0) GPU. As we don't
emulate GPU timing very well (eg skip the timings of the pixel stage completely),
an overclock factor of ~0.5 is often much more accurate than 1.0
It now affects the GPU determinism mode as well as some miscellaneous
things that were calling IsNetPlayRunning. Probably incomplete.
Notably, this can change while paused, if the user starts recording a
movie. The movie code appears to have been missing locking between
setting g_playMode and doing other things, which probably had a small
chance of causing crashes or even desynced movies; fix that with
PauseAndLock.
The next commit will add a hidden config variable to override GPU
determinism mode.
This is effectively unused, as the window handles that we pass to the
GLInterface are window handles for the frame which isn't ever a real
toplevel window. Host_UpdateTitle is what actually sets the proper title
on the render window.
Now that MainNoGUI is properly architected and GLX doesn't need to
sometimes craft its own windows sometimes which we have to thread back
into MainNoGUI, we don't need to thread the window handle that GLX
creates at all.
This removes the reference to pass back here, and the g_pWindowHandle
always be the same as the window returned by Host_GetRenderHandle().
A future cleanup could remove g_pWindowHandle entirely.
