This is good hygiene, and also happens to be required to build Dolphin
using Clang modules.
(Under this setup, each header file becomes a module, and each #include
is automatically translated to a module import. Recursive includes
still leak through (by default), but modules are compiled independently,
and can't depend on defines or types having previously been set up. The
main reason to retrofit it onto Dolphin is compilation performance - no
more textual includes whatsoever, rather than putting a few blessed
common headers into a PCH. Unfortunately, I found multiple Clang bugs
while trying to build Dolphin this way, so it's not ready yet, but I can
start with this prerequisite.)
The D3D / OGL backends only ever used RGBA textures, and the Software
backend uses its own custom code for sampling. The ARGB path seems to
just be dead code.
Since ARGB and RGBA formats are similar, I don't think this will make
the code more difficult to read or unable to be used as
reference. Somebody who wants to use this code to output ARGB can simply
modify the MakeRGBA function to put the shift at the other end.
This pulls all the duplicate code from TextureDecoder_Generic /
TextureDecoder_x64 out and puts it in a common file. Out custom font
used for debugging the texture cache is also pulled out and put in a
common "sfont.inc" file. At some point we should also combine this font
with the other six binary fonts we ship.
GetPC_TexFormat was never used. It was added in commit d02426a, with the
only user being commented out code. The commented out code was later
removed in 9893122, but the implementation stayed.
