This allows us to print user friendly names for titles out of the box,
without requiring the user to manually download a title database and
place it in the correct location.
No auto-update mechanism is implemented as it would be substantially
more complicated and overkill (imo), since titles are not updated
that often. I have however added a script to make updating them easier.
The database can be freely used without any restriction. I have
contacted the author.
Dolphin is able to generate one with all correct default settings, so
we don't need to ship with a pre-generated SYSCONF and worry about
syncing default settings.
Additionally, this commit changes SysConf to work with session SYSCONFs
so that Dolphin is able to generate a default one even for Movie/TAS.
Which SYSCONF needs to be touched is explicitly specified to avoid
confusion about which file SysConf is managing.
(Another notable change is that the Wii root functions are moved into
Core to prevent Common from depending on Core.)
Windows-1252 was sometimes being referred to as ASCII or ANSI
in Dolphin, which is incorrect. ASCII is only a subset of
Windows-1252, and ANSI is (rather improperly) used in Windows
to refer to the current code page (which often is 1252 on
Western systems, but can also be something entirely different).
The commit also replaces "SJIS" with "Shift JIS". "SJIS"
isn't misleading, but "Shift JIS" is more commonly used.

Set EFBtoTextures=False, fixes issue #9942 from Ocarina of Time, makes Link preview visible in Equipment screen, with EFB to Textures Only enabled the preview stays black, rather than showing Link's current equipment.
The signature DB is very helpful for generating a symbol map for games
which don't ship with debugging symbols, since it includes signatures
for common SDK functions.
However, it isn't very complete and only contained signatures for GC
games -- the current database isn't very helpful for Wii games, which
still have a huge number of unknown functions even after using this DB.
Yet Wii games typically share a lot of code (since they all use the
SDK), and not having symbols makes it a lot harder to look into what
a game is doing… So this commit adds common Wii SDK function signatures
to the database, in order to make generated symbol maps a lot more
useful for Wii games.
The debug info comes from the debugging map that was left in the Wii
version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. To avoid cluttering
the DB with game-specific debug info (even though it already contains
some game-specific symbols), some basic filtering was done on the
shipped symbol map:
egrep '(section layout|\.a|m_Do|lib|Lib| OS)' tp-framework.map | grep -v Z2 > common-wii-sdk.map
Then this map was loaded in Twilight Princess, and "append to existing
signature file" was used to append the new hashes to totaldb.dsy.

However, unlike the original commit, hidapi does not completely replace
the current implementations, so we can still connect Wiimotes with 1+2
(without pairing).
Also, it is only used on Linux and OS X for now. This removes the
advantage of having only one implementation but there is no other
choice: using hidapi on Windows is currently impossible because
hid_write() is implemented in a way that won't work with Wiimotes.
Additionally:
* We now check for the device name in addition to the PID/VID so we can
support the Balance Board and maybe third-party Wiimotes too. This
doesn't achieve anything with the DolphinBar but it does with hidraw.
* Added a check to not connect to the same device more than once.
All the inline comments from the netplay code were removed because they
apparently took up space in game memory (They were maxing out gecko
codes).
"Increase input timing accuracy" was made into its own code entry.
"Netplay Safe Kill Music" code has been updated to prevent desyncs.
BMX XXX can detect forced Progressive Scan in Dolphin but the game will not be playable, the emulator will freeze.
On an original GameCube, GC-Forever reported that "Game does not support component video output.".
By default, it's better to disable the forced Progressive Scan feature on this game to make it playable and also not stuck in a broken startup.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Master Quest) needs EFB to RAM
for the pause menu background to not be black and for Link to show up
in the pause menu. These are the two most visible issues without EFB
to RAM enabled.
This is consistent with the GameINI for the Collector's Edition
version (PZL).
Just because it was the same game, released in diffrent regions
at around the same time doesn't mean they use the same version
of the Virtual Console emulator.
The previous INIs were based of testing of the US release so I've
move them to 6 letter INIs only effecting the US release. I've
also added a few more and added a few Inis for the few PAL games
that I could confirm also didn't require EFB2Ram.
