Previously, we had WBFS and CISO which both returned an upper bound
of the size, and other formats which returned an accurate size. But
now we also have NFS, which returns a lower bound of the size. To
allow VolumeVerifier to make better informed decisions for NFS, let's
use an enum instead of a bool for the type of data size a blob has.
For a few years now, I've been thinking it would be nice to make Dolphin
support reading Wii games in the format they come in when you download
them from the Wii U eShop. The Wii U eShop has some good deals on Wii
games (Metroid Prime Trilogy especially is rather expensive if you try
to buy it physically!), and it's the only place right now where you can
buy Wii games digitally.
Of course, Nintendo being Nintendo, next year they're going to shut down
this only place where you can buy Wii games digitally. I kind of wish I
had implemented this feature earlier so that people would've had ample
time to buy the games they want, but... better late than never, right?
I used MIT-licensed code from the NOD library as a reference when
implementing this. None of the code has been directly copied, but
you may notice that the names of the struct members are very similar.

If libusb fails to initialize, an assertion fails, but if that happens before the main window is created, then Dolphin just dies. Now, the panic alert is properly shown and the user can ignore it.
Currently, disabling mGBA when building gets rid of the ability to
change the GBA saves directory in DolphinQt, but it doesn't actually
get rid of Dolphin loading and storing the setting and creating the
folder. If the setting is set to a path you don't want to use
(perhaps you are trying to turn Dolphin portable), this is annoying.
To avoid accidentally making mistakes like this in the future,
I'm gating the existence of the setting behind an ifdef.
Fixes a crash that could occur if the static constructor function for
the MainSettings.cpp TU happened to run before the variables in
Common/Version.cpp are initialised. (This is known as the static
initialisation order fiasco.)
By using wrapper functions, those variables are now guaranteed to be
constructed on first use.
Yes, that's right! It's time to add even more NKit warnings,
because users still don't understand what NKit is or how it works!
More specifically, some users seem to be under the impression that
converting an NKit file to for instance RVZ using Dolphin's convert
feature will result in a normal RVZ file, when it in fact results in
an NKit RVZ file (since NKit is not a container format in the sense
that GCZ/WIA/RVZ/WBFS/CISO is, but rather a kind of trimmed ISO).
I can hardly blame users for not knowing this, because it's not
intuitive unless you know the technical details of how NKit works.

A 1-character typo in a recent PR caused FifoCI builds to break
horribly and spew millions of panic alerts until buildbot crashed.
This PR adds a new config option -- defaulting to off -- that allows
Dolphin to abort early on when a panic alert occurs instead of
continuing forever.
It seems like we spend a lot of the game list scanning time in
updateAdditionalMetadata, which I suppose makes sense considering
how many different files that function attempts to open.
With the addition of just one little atomic operation, we can make
it safe to call updateAdditionalMetadata without holding a lock.
