Additionally, VCacheEnhance has been added to UVAT_group1. According to YAGCD, this field is always 1.
TVtxDesc also now has separate low and high fields whose hex values correspond with the proper registers, instead of having one 33-bit value. This change was made in a way that should be backwards-compatible.
We want to save the currently selected platform tab,
but doing so immediately after switching tabs leads to
unnecessarily much file I/O (on the main thread, no less).
This change makes us defer the saving until later.
In master, the game scanning process looks like this:
1. Scan for games
2. Scan for additional metadata (icon.png and meta.xml)
3. Save the cache if needed
4. Update the game list with the results

Updating the game list as soon as possible means the user
has to wait less before their games show up. The new behavior
matches what DolphinWX did before it was removed. (DolphinQt
has an even fancier approach where games get added one by one.)
The PPC is supposed to be held in reset when another version of IOS is
in the process of being launched for a PPC title launch.
Probably doesn't matter in practice, though the inaccuracy was
definitely observable from the PPC.
We should only try to load a symbol map for the new title *after* it
has been loaded into memory, not before. Likewise for applying HLE
patches and loading new custom textures.
In practice, loading/repatching too early was only a problem for
titles that are launched via ES_Launch. This commit fixes that.
The extra IPC ack is triggered by a syscall that is invoked in ES's
main function; the syscall literally just sets Y2, IX1 and IX2 in
HW_IPC_ARMCTRL -- there is no complicated ack queue or anything.
Low MEM1 is cleared by IOS before all the other constants are written.
This will overwrite the Gecko code handler but it should be fine
because HLE::Reload (which will set up the code handler hook again)
will be called after a title change is detected.
