- Clear alpha channel to 0xFF instead of 0x00 whenever we (re-)create the EFB texture
- Disable color/alpha channels whenever the actual EFB format doesn't use them
Fixes issue 2826.
Fixes issue 1879.
Please check if issue 3014 is fixed now, as well as any other games which might have broken due to ClearScreen changes.
For what it's worth, Super Mario Sunshine still shows a small glitch even with these changes.

10.0 level hardware can't create multisampled depth buffers which can be bound as shader resources as well, but we need that for e.g. EFB access or EFB copies.
Only multisampling the color buffer doesn't work either since color and depth targets must be using the same sample count.

- Speed up MSAA by using custom resolve shaders instead of ID3D11DeviceContext::ResolveSubresource().
- Fix EFB access when MSAA is enabled.

DX11: Fix a DX11 debug runtime error caused by the vertex shader output signature and the pixel shader input signature not matching if per-pixel lighting is disabled. Someone forgot disabling those pixel shader parameters ;P
DX11: Enable use of dynamic textures wherever possible.
DX9: Remove two unnecessary TODOs. Someone forgot removing those since they've been obsolete for a long time ;P
Anyway, at least working mipmaps and dynamic textures should increase DX11 performance a bit. And "a bit" is more than my usual "marginally" ;)

Add multisampling support.
EFB access doesn't work with MSAA enabled, yet.
Additionally clean up some stuff, fix a memory leak, ...
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@6468 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
- Add some info about a backend's feature set (MSAA, Real XFB, EFB to RAM, ..) to VideoConfig
- Gray out options if they aren't supported by the backend or if changing them doesn't affect anything (e.g. changing STC mode if STC is disabled)
- Allow signed bytes for D3D11. Not sure if this causes glitches, but it should work
- Call wxEvent.Skip() in the event function handlers, not sure if this fixes any bugs but the old code definitely caused bugs during development of this patch
- Fix a memory leak in the configuration dialog if D3D11 is used
- Other minor stuff that doesn't need to be mentioned or which I forgot

DX9: When clearing the back buffer in Renderer::Swap(), use IDirect3DDevice9::Clear instead of a clear quad if possible. Should improve performance marginally.

Explanation of this commit: We only have to care about four BP registers in ClearScreen, the remaining API state should be reset. The colorEnable and alphaEnable parameters are obsolete, for some reason directly using them caused the SMS glitch with DX11 (because of that bpmem.zcontrol.pixel_format == PIXELFMT_RGBA6_Z24 check in BPFunctions.cpp, is this one actually correct?)
The comment in BPFunctions.cpp was at least misleading (if not even wrong), so I removed it.
For what it's worth, someone needs to port this to the OpenGL and Software plugins (unless they're doing this properly already)

Games affected by this change: Mario Smash Football, Mario Strikers Charged Football, Monster Hunter Tri.
Other games possibly affected: Shaun White Snowboarding, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Baten Kaitos.
This implementation will decrease performance if the game uses this feature, but the glitches will be gone. I'll add an option for this in a later commit. EFB pokes are somewhat slow in DX11 right now, speed should be okayish in DX9 though.
Other changes:
- SOMEWHAT cleaned up the EFB access code in DX9
- Fixed incompatible parameter list of AccessEFB and TVideo_AccessEFB.
- Fixed a theoretical bug in ReplaceRGBATexture2D, add support for STAGING textures
- Removed unused parameters in various DX9 functions

- Add a sanity check in CRenderFrame::MSWWindowProc. Possibly reduces the risk of a crash when starting a game and immediately closing the emulation window when using the DX9 plugin.
- DX11: Add the resource usage as a parameter to CreateQuadVertexBuffer, possibly to be used in the future.
- reduce the size of the EFB access buffers from 4x4 to 1x1 since they needn't be bigger anymore
- some fixes to the recent hires commit.

Should fix SMG for NVIDIA users. Slightly changes behavior of the AccessEFB function, so test this for regressions, please (esp. in HD resolutions).

for all the plugins implemented per pixel lighting, this will make games that uses lighting a lot nice. (just look at mario sunshine and compare :))
for dx9: implemented temporal anaglyph stereo: just grab your red-cyan glasses and enjoy.
stereo calibration: use stereo separation ( distance of the point from you are looking) and Focal Angle: the angle necessary to focus in one particular object.
this settings are different in every games as they use different depth ranges.
please for any regression and bug introduced by this commit.
if you ask why i did not implement stereo in dx11 and opengl the reason is one: they don't work right when i have more time will try to find a way to make them work.

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.

some cleanup and a little work pointing to future improvements in the way of rendering.
please test and check for any errors.

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.

The code changes disable the usual pipeline flush for certain BP Writes that occur while the minimap is being drawn in Zelda: twilight princess. This significantly increases speed while in hyrule field. The way this is accomplished is described more in depth on page 42 of Xtreme's thread. Big thanks to Xtreme for doing a great job hosting that thread, and Kiesel-stein for initial work on the hack
Also, I used the resource editor in Visual studio to generate the GUI code for the DX11 plugin, and some code appeared to be removed, although the behavior of the GUI did not seem to change. Hopefully someone more experienced with resource files (forms?) can double check that no code was damaged

- 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.

1 - Optimize pixelshadergen to avoid redundant register overflow math, with this if a game don't need this will be not applied.
this must bring some fill rate back and improve speed a little in fill rate limited systems.
2- some corrections to vertexshadergen to avoid uninitialized texture coordinates, dono if is the correct way to fix it but t least it will make house of the dead overkill playable in dx11.
the bad thing: still missing geometri in dx9, in dx11 it works exactly as on opengl.
3 - some optimization made to improve fps a little wih the latests changes made to fifo.
* back to the original code in beginfield as now it will work right.
* check for efb access more often as a lot of time is lost waiting for efb access
4 - apply a little fix for missing textures in nvidia opengl tanks to Wagnard28 for finding that nvidia does not like invalid shader id :)

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.
