d3d: remove the depth texture path it will not work so for now only lockable textures were available. i thing the only way will be a use a secondary render target and do a depth pass to mimic depth textures.
opengl: minor cleanup here and there and a possible fix to issue 1509, but not tested because in my system the errors remarked in the issue don't show.
commond: code reorganization an optimization in the pixel shader generator, trying to understand the tev stages, make some changes to make the generator faster (not much only started for the alpha test and fog).
this changes try start solving the diferences bethen the hardware plugins and the soft plugin.
i hope with i don't brake nothing but please test this a lot.

they are extremely hard/driver Dependant so your test is needed.
there plugin will automatically select the path thats work for your hard, need that everyone post the messages that the video init throw (yes all will hate me for the messages) but is the only way to see what is the optimal path. in the next commit will clean the unused paths.
i'm afraid thath the second path is Vista dependant (you need to include vista sdk to make it work).
the third path use lockable depth buffer so there is no change in that.
now peek color is fully working and is fast because the you never lock the the real color texture only the offscreen surface.
please if someone knows a game that use peek color please test it.
also fixed blending so SMS underwater must be fixed.
this work with d3d teach me that i love opengl :)

implemented buffer format fall back to allow hardware that don't support lockable formats to run the games with Z peeking disabled, applied as well the patch suggested in issue 1494 please give heavy test to this commit

Opengl:
Reorder the rendering path to make it more generic, and a little bit faster i think.
Reduce the index Buffer size to make it more Friendly to older video hardware.
get rid of the remaining annoying sps (I hope).
D3D:
Implement the same path as opengl to make the plugins more similar and maintainable.
Fixed Peek_Z this means, Pushing stars in SMG Now Works.
Please give heavy testing to this changes and compare the performance with the old path.
Thanks to hrydgard for let me participate :).
