In std::string, you can store strings using any encoding, but in Dolphin
we have decided to use UTF-8. The problem is that if you convert between
std::string and std::filesystem::path using the built-in methods, the
standard library will make up its own assumption of what encoding you're
using in the std::string. On most OSes this is UTF-8, but on Windows
it's whatever the user's code page is.
What I believe is the C++ standard authors' intended solution to this is
to use std::u8string instead of std::string, but that's a big hassle to
move over to, because there's no convenient way to convert between
std::string and std::u8string. Instead, in Dolphin, we have added helper
functions that convert between std::string and std::filesystem::path in
the manner we want. You *always* have to use these when converting
between std::string and std::filesystem::path, otherwise we get these
kinds of encoding problems that we've been having with custom textures.

Migrates most of VideoCommon over to using fmt, with the exception being
the shader generator code. The shader generators are quite large and
have more corner cases to deal with in terms of conversion (shaders have
braces in them, so we need to make sure to escape them).
Because of the large amount of code that would need to be converted, the
conversion of VideoCommon will be in two parts:
- This change (which converts over the general case string formatting),
- A follow up change that will specifically deal with converting over
the shader generators.
D3D11 cannot handle block compressed textures where the first mip level
is not a multiple of the block size. The simple fix for texture pack
authors: leave these textures uncompressed. You can still use a .dds
container.
Minimizes repetition.
std::minmax_element can be used for the 256 * 2 case, as it's only performing byte comparisons
and thus, there will always be an element smaller than 0xffff, so it doesn't need to be included
in the set of compared values.
Improve bookkeeping around formats. Hopefully make code less confusing.
- Rename TlutFormat -> TLUTFormat to follow conventions.
- Use enum classes to prevent using a Texture format where an EFB Copy format
is expected or vice-versa.
- Use common EFBCopyFormat names regardless of depth and YUV configurations.
This removes the need for multiple texture files to store the mipmap
chain for a texture. As many mipmaps will be loaded as are present in
the DDS file, and any remaining mipmaps will fall back to the old
behavior.
This moves all the byte swapping utilities into a header named Swap.h.
A dedicated header is much more preferable here due to the size of the
code itself. In general usage throughout the codebase, CommonFuncs.h was
generally only included for these functions anyway. These being in their
own header avoids dumping the lesser used utilities into scope. As well
as providing a localized area for more utilities related to byte
swapping in the future (should they be needed). This also makes it nicer
to identify which files depend on the byte swapping utilities in
particular.
Since this is a completely new header, moving the code uncovered a few
indirect includes, as well as making some other inclusions unnecessary.
