Before, Settings::SetDebugModeEnabled was used; this calls SetBaseOrCurrent() which will usually permanently change the base configuration setting for the debugger to true. Thus, the debugger would remain active even if the --debugger command line option was removed. Now, it remains active only for the current run, like other command-line options.
Note that SetBaseOrCurrent is also used by the "Show Debugging UI" option under Options -> Interface; this means that if the debugger is turned off (or off and then back on) by the user while --debugger is specified, this will be reset to whatever the base configuration had when Dolphin is closed and reopened. This behavior is consistent with the rest of the UI.
To my understanding, the --debugger option is something from 5.0 stable/DolphinWx where there was no way to toggle the debug UI in the settings (and the command-line option was the only way of enabling it). It's less useful nowadays.
Because of the previous commit, this is needed to stop DolphinQt from
forgetting that the user pressed ignore whenever any part of the config
is changed.
This commit also changes the behavior a bit on DolphinQt: "Ignore for
this session" now applies to the current emulation session instead of
the current Dolphin launch. This matches how it already worked on
Android, and is in my opinion better because it means the user won't
lose out on important panic alerts in a game becase they played another
game first that had repeated panic alerts that they wanted to ignore.
For Android, this commit isn't necessary, but it makes the code cleaner.
If the purpose of calling SetFullscreen using RunAsCPUThread is
to make sure that the GPU thread is paused, the fix in ef77872
is faulty when dual core is used and a panic alert comes from
the CPU thread. This change re-adds synchronization for that case.
The fix in ef77872 worked for panic alerts from
the CPU thread, but there were still problems with
panic alerts from the GPU thread in dual core mode.
This change attempts to fix those.

this prevented some devices from being recreated correctly, as they were exclusive (e.g. DInput Joysticks)
This is achieved by calling Settings::ReleaseDevices(), which releases all the UI devices shared ptrs.
If we are the host (Qt) thread, DevicesChanged() is now called in line, to avoid devices being hanged onto by the UI.
For this, I had to add a method to check whether we are the Host Thread to Qt.
Avoid calling ControllerInterface::RefreshDevices() from the CPU thread if the emulation is running
and we manually refresh devices from Qt, as that is not necessary anymore.
Refactored the way IOWindow lists devices to make it clearer and hold onto disconnected devices.
There were so many issues with the previous code:
-Devices changes would not be reflected until the window was re-opened
-If there was no default device, it would fail to select the device at index 0
-It could have crashed if we had 0 devices
-The default device was not highlighted as such
CommandLineParse expects UTF-8 strings. (QApplication, on the
other hand, seems to be designed so that you can pass in the
char** argv untouched on Windows and get proper Unicode handling.)
Other than the controller settings and JIT debug settings,
these are the only settings which were defined in Java code
but not defined in the new config system in C++. (There are
still a lot of settings that are defined in the new config
system but not yet saveable in the new config system, though.)
On Windows, Qt's default system font (MS Shell Dlg 2) is outdated.
Dolphin previously used over 15 lines of code to compute a font
closer to the proper font, but with an approximately correct font size.
Using the QMenu font directly is both more concise and more elegant
(in my opinion).

This also includes another change: DolphinQt will now exit with an
error if you use --batch without specifying a game using any method
(unlike in the past where --batch would be ignored if you didn't
specify a game using --exec, even if you had used --nand-title).
The main reason why I did this was because coding the alternative
(ignoring --batch) would be annoying with render to main involved.
Lessens the amount of files that have to be recompiled if
ConfigManager.h is modified. This also removes an indirect inclusion
within DolphinQt/Main.cpp.
* Confirm stopping emulation when the window is closing, not just the "Stop" button
* Don't resume if we were already paused when we got the quit event
* Shutdown the core at the end of main() so we don't crash on exit
* Miscellaneous other logic cleanups related to this
The UI should decide on where it wants the user directory, not our core system.
This is in anticipation of some upcoming work on Android which will need proper user directory setting.
