The D3D / OGL backends only ever used RGBA textures, and the Software
backend uses its own custom code for sampling. The ARGB path seems to
just be dead code.
Since ARGB and RGBA formats are similar, I don't think this will make
the code more difficult to read or unable to be used as
reference. Somebody who wants to use this code to output ARGB can simply
modify the MakeRGBA function to put the shift at the other end.
This causes glDrawArrays to fail in core profile, and thus on OS X, see:

There must be something bound, even though it is not used.
Fixes#7599. I'm not sure this is actually the best way to fix it,
since AFAICT it makes a nonobvious assumption that *something* will be
bound before the first attributeless rendering in
TextureConverter::DecodeToTexture, but it's what degasus suggested and
seems to work.
This is required to make packing consistent between compilers: with u32, MSVC
would not allocate a bitfield that spans two u32s (it would leave a "hole").
We were generating a texture without ever setting the data to a known value.
This happened on the old code as well, just that PP shaders are receiving some love and people are using it and noticing some of its issues.
The only possible functionality change is that s_efbAccessRequested and
s_swapRequested are no longer reset at init and shutdown of the OGL
backend (only; this is the only interaction any files other than
MainBase.cpp have with them). I am fairly certain this was entirely
vestigial.
Possible performance implications: efbAccessReady now uses an Event
rather than spinning, which might be slightly slower, but considering
the slow loop the flags are being checked in from the GPU thread, I
doubt it's noticeable.
Also, this uses sequentially consistent rather than release/acquire
memory order, which might be slightly slower, especially on ARM...
something to improve in Event/Flag, really.
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.
Seems mesa has a quirk where
define THING(x) (#x)
is the same as
define THING(x) (##x)
Didn't realize I messed it up since it just worked since I only tested on Mesa.
This class loads all the common PP shader configuration options and passes those options through to a inherited class that OpenGL or D3D will have.
Makes it so all the common code for PP shaders is in VideoCommon instead of duplicating the code across each backend.
