use plain vertex arrays instead of VBOs to render in Opengl plugin as the nature of the data make VBOs slower. This must bring, depending on the implementation, a good speedup in opengl.
in my system now opengl and d3d9 have a difference of 1 to 5 fps depending of the game.
some cleanup and a little work pointing to future improvements in the way of rendering.
please test and check for any errors.

- Eliminate the useless check for cpu modifications option from efb to ram as it must be enabled always
- use constant names in dx11 for buffer length calculation instead to simplify code reading
- implemented scaled efb copy in opengl, still bugy in some games, the option is not in the gui but will add it when it works perfect
- Change the depth calculation behavior:
if the game use z textures is exactly the same as before.
if the game do not use z texture calculate z values in the vertex shader. the advantage id this approach is that early z culling is applied,
improving fill rate. this mus speed up things, even with ssaa and msaa enabled.
please test for regression and enjoy.

fix frame dumping and screenshots in d3d9 and opengl
some improvements to the new efb to ram
please test to see if the issues introduced by the new efb to ram are solved by this commit

replace efb to ram implementation by a hybrid approach.
explanation:
when copying from efb to texture, instead of make a copy to a texture or to the ram, copy the data to both, in hi quality to the texture and in native quality to the ram.
then instead of re-decoding the data from ram (very slow) use the data in the texture.
to improve this even more, test if the cpu has modified the data in the ram copy, if so, update the texture in memory and mark it as dynamic to avoid redundant work in future frames.
having all this implemented this is what is archived:
sms: full quality with scaled efb copies and fully functional goop cleaning :)
ztp: efb to texture speed with full map support.
nsmbw: this is a hard to emulate game, as it make a lot of shading and texture modification in cpu. it only have 35 fps in my system with new efb to ram but is 10 fps faster than normal efb to ram.
this game also show me another unimplemented feature, copy efb to multiple textures at the same time (is used to animate coins and other things in the world).
this is a remaining todo in efb to texture.
a lot of games should improve, so please test and let me know any regresion caused by this commit.
if everyone likes this the next step is, implement efb to multilpe textures and merge efb to ram and efb to texture.
then port to the other plugins.
enjoy.

in general cleanup and bugfix disable pierre patch for the moment as it causes problem in some games and hopefully fix the remaining missing textures for nvidia users in opengl.
make the code in pixelshadergen looks nice and readable.
D3D: this is a ultra experimental commit please check for regressions or error.
make the efb Scale / super sampling level customizable to improve the output quality and let the user configure quality according to his hardware.
is everyone likes this change will translate it to opengl
please test

this not solve the remaining projection problem in some games like mario kart wii
will work that problem later.
please test and let me know the results.

almost fixed real xfb in d3d, i say almost because there are some minor scalling problems. hope will fix them soon.
implemented a more intelligent index generator to emulate more accurately the behavior of the gc.
please give me feedback on this changes.
enjoy :)

implemented donko's xfb in D3D:
the bad things:
*is solower in some cases, slower as opengl
*it do not work in dual core mode, it seems direct3d has serious synchronization problems, to the other devs please if you can take a look and help me :)
*real xfb still not working i have to give it more time to make it work.
the good:
*games that uses multiples xfbs will work now using the virtual XFB.
*implemented a more hardware like approach to scaling, now to calculate the pixel scaling i use the xfb size not the efb so the screen pixels relation is more correct now.
*simplified a little donko's virtual xfb to make it less memory consuming as xfb textures are the exact size of the scaled xfb and not full target width.
* when it works even real xfb will let us use super sampling.
I repeat this commit is totally unstable and in dual core mode it will for sure hang the emulator or at best give totally incorrect results.
Other devs please help as thread sync is not one of my strong points :)
i'll keep waiting for the comments an the -1 :)

first fixed scaling when updating backbuffer to make it friendly with encoders, now frame dumping must work without errors in any codec.
clean screenshot and frame dumping code now is more correct, faster and stable.
improve safe texture cache, improving the distribution of the hash algorithm, including tlut hash in the final hash of the texture, and making use of a 64 bit hash to make it more accurate.
clean a lot of code and corrected some missused vertex formats when drawing full screen quads.
and biggest change last:
implemented pseudo antialiasing: a image post-process algorithm that mimics antialiazing and is fare more easier to implement in this scenario.
you can change the intensity of the effect changing the values of the antialiasing combo. the right value depends on the game.
for example mkwii looks awesome with 8x.
please try all the changes and let me know the results.
if something is broken, please let me know and will fix it asap.

Hopefully this doesn't break builds on Macs. I have tested this on linux and windows.

in videocommon little fix for the alpha test values, return to the original values as they are more accurate.
in D3D:
huge change in state management, now all the state management is centralized and redundant state changes are eliminated.
Fixed the overlapped viewport error in non ati cards:
the error was caused by this: when a viewport is defined larger than the current rendertarget, an error is thrown and the last valid viewport is used, this is the reference behavior, in ati cards if a larger viewport is defined, no eror is returned, the rendering is valid and is rendered using the projection defined by the viewport but limited to the rendertarget are, exactly like opengl or the GC hardware.
to solve this in reference drivers defined a large rendertarget (2x the size of the original) and proceed to render in a centered quad insithe the larger rendertarget, in this way larger viewports always falls inside a valid rendertarget size, the drawback of this is the waste of resources. it can be dynamized, depending or games or changed at runtime when a oversized viewport is detected, but i live that to future commits.
please test this and let me know the results.

in D3D and Opengl:
fixed one nasty bug in texture loading where if a dynamic texture keeps his format but the tlut format is changed, the try or reloading the texture in the same texture could cause a hang if the size of the resulting texture is different than the original (size in bytes)
Applied a ugly temporal hack to the texture conversor to solve efb to ram misalignments and effect distortions.
in D3D:
Pseudo implementation of logic ops using basic blending: the first 8 operations are "good approximations", the remaining 8 are bullshit :) if someone have a better approximation to emulate this logic please let me know.
please test if i don't break anything in the process and test Mario kart wee you will get a nice surprise.:)

opengl: a little code cleanup and possible speedup in texture recreation.
d3d and opengl :plugins corrected the efb alignment when efb to ram is used.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4637 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
Also reimplemented screen clearing as a color quad to support alpha blending when clearing as in the original hardware.
the funny thing is how is implemented peeking, as locking depth textures is not supported, implemented peeking copying the values form the depth texture to a r32f render target and then reading back the data.
please a lot of testing to this commit.
