1 ) When first opened, the (user selected) post process shader config widget would print the wrong values on the text label next to int range sliders. For example if the range was from 1 to 6, and the value loaded from the config was 1, the label would print 0 when first opened, to then start showing the correct value once the slider was first moved.
This mirrors the behaviour of the float slider code below:
```auto* const value_box = new QLineEdit(QString::asprintf("%f", m_config_option->m_float_values[i]));```
2 ) The defautl int slider value would also be set wrong on first load, as it was being divided by the slider max instead of the slider step amount (again, just like for the float implementation). This is a mistake I had made with my previous submission.
Fixing all the places it's used turned out to be a more complicated task than anticipated. So let's remove this for now so we don't confuse users with cryptic error messages...
To further increase the accuracy of the post process phase, I've added (scRGB) HDR support, which is necessary
to fully display the PAL and NTSC-J color spaces, and also to improve the quality of post process texture samplings and
do them in linear space instead of gamma space (which is very important when playing at low resolutions).
For SDR, the quality is also slightly increased, at least if any post process runs, as the buffer is now
R10G10B10A2 (on Vulkan, DX11 and DX12) if supported; previously it was R8G8B8A8 but the alpha bits were wasted.
Gamma correction is arguably the most important thing as Dolphin on Windows outputted in "sRGB" (implicitly)
as that's what Windows expects by default, though sRGB gamma is very different from the gamma commonly used
by video standards dating to the pre HDR era (roughly gamma 2.35).
Additionally, the addition of HDR support (which is pretty straight forward and minimal), added support for
our own custom AutoHDR shaders, which would allow us to achieve decent looking HDR in Dolphin games without
having to use SpecialK or Windows 11 AutoHDR. Both of which don't necessarily play nice with older games
with strongly different and simpler lighting. HDR should also be supported in Linux.
Development of my own AutoHDR shader is almost complete and will come next.
This has been carefully tested and there should be no regression in any of the different features that Dolphin
offers, like multisampling, stereo rendering, other post processes, etc etc.
