- ReImplementing Single Core Mode like Dual Core Mode Style.
- Stage 1: My goal is, we have the Fifo, CommandProccessor code the more clear, maintenible and documented possible. When I quit dolphin I want any developer can continue with the work only reading the code.
* Big Refactoring: A lot of functions was changed the names, and modularized.
Now the FifoLoop and CatchUpGPU does not exist, was replaced by RunGpu() and RunGpuLoop().
The general idea is modeling the code like the real HW. The fifo is only a buffer where the Write Gather Pipe write the commands and from the Graphic Processor read these.
* Big Clean UP a lot of obsolete code and comments was deleted, like DcFakeWachDog, "Fifo very soon hack", etc.
In the stage 2, I will refactoring more code doing emphasis in the division of CommandProcessor, Fifo, Gpu Emulation. Beside I will comment all functions and variables in the code (Don't worry I will ask for English help for this part ;) )
Please test a lot SC mode and DC mode :)
Thank you so much for testing always and the patience. I don't like broke your favorite game but... you must believe me this part is very sensible, I only try to contribute for have a better and stable dolphin emulator.

Changes:
* Allow events to be scheduled when the emulator is not running. This allows the save state event to be added before the emulator starts.
* Removed the Audio back-end init flag from the save state. This value should not be saved as it is not data relevant to guest machine.
* Allow a recording to be started at any time (apart from when a recording is already being made).
* Updated the status bar and title bar when an on-screen message is shown
* Removed the saving of PEToken from the save state as the FIFO will save this information
* Added a couple Pixel Engine interrupt states to the save state
* Added the copyright notice to the GCPadStatus.h file.
This function is preliminary. Let us know of any bugs you find or any UI quirks.

I think that isFifoBusy bring better sync with VI (video interface) because the CPU emulated threads are waiting for DrawDone in BP Register. So, I do some modifications.
1) Rename "IsFifoBusy" by "isPossibleWaitingSetDrawDone"
2) Only activate isPossibleWaitingSetDrawDone when bFF_GPLinkEnable is true in fifo loop "Inmediate mode" that is because in theory this drawsync function is using in this mode.
3) Deactivate isPossibleWaitingSetDrawDone also in SetFinish in PixelEngine, beside when 32 block is finish.
Please regression in yours games thats can bring some FPS more above all with VPS frame limiter ON (Auto, 60, 50, etc).
- Fix waiting in AbortFrame(), please test mp1/mp2 is fixed again.
Good look!

this is marcos idea so the credits go to him.
please test the broken games in my last commits to see if this solve all the issues.

- I've implemented calling to ProcessFifoEvents when is there is a pending event in the main queue from CP, PE & GP
- I've implemented FifoIntReset(TRUE, TRUE) in write Clear Register.

Really that happens because the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative.
Example: CPReadWriteDistance: -864 CPEnd: 10092672 fifo.CPBase: 9568416
In SMG this is because PI_FIFO_RESET is writing and after fifo.CPReadWriteDistance will be setted to 0.
To Prevent that, I've Implemented AbortFrame function in the CommmandProcessor. It should fix overflown because of that.
Note: There is other issue (Issue 2846) where the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative too but the effect is different.
I'm working to solve this.

This is EXPERIMENTAL, in theory don't break any game but if so Revert this commit immediately please.
Note: Beside Eternal Darkness needs DirectX 11 or DirectX 9 with Zelda Hack to works fine.

Dual Core sync fix.
When the FIFO is processing data we must not advance the cpu cycles in CoreTiming because in this way the VI will be desynchronized. So, We are waiting until the FIFO finish and while we process only the events required by the FIFO.
This should fix Issue 2072 .
This affect to all games in dual core mode.
Please, You can test all games with VPS limiter auto, 60, 50 depending of the game and compare with prev revision.
For example now NSMB in the video Intro has 60 fps (prev 30 fps) :D or SMG does't need anymore FPS Limitter Hack to get 55-60 fps
Beside the slowdowns now are more softly and the fps more stables because the VI sync is almost perfect.
The Core Timing and Fifo modifications are delicated. Please report if this hang any game. Don't forget check with prev revision.
Enjoy it! Thanks to Rodolfo for teach me all about dolphin.

enable newline normalization
get revision number via `hg svn info` for svnrev.h
ignore incremental/generated binary files (windows/VS at least)
leave a comment if some files need native eol set in svnprops
