This could cause read errors if chunks were laid out a certain
way in the file and the whole chunk wasn't being read at once.
Should fix https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12184.
PURGE isn't especially useful, while requiring some annoying
special handling in the file format. If you want no compression,
use NONE. If you want fast compression, use Zstandard.
Gets rid of the need to seek to the end of the file
when opening a file.
The downside of this is that we waste a little space,
since we can't know in advance exactly how much
space the compressed parts of the headers will need.
This is useful for the way Dolphin scrubs Wii discs.
The encrypted data is what gets zeroed out, but this
zeroed out data then gets decrypted before being stored,
and the resulting data does not compress well.
However, each block of decrypted scrubbed data is
identical given the same encryption key, and there's
nothing stopping us from making multiple group entries
point to the same offset in the file, so we only have
to store one copy of this data per partition.
For reference, wit zeroes out the decrypted data,
but Dolphin's WIA writer can't do this because it currently
doesn't know which parts of the disc are scrubbed.
This is also useful for things such as storing Datel discs
full of 0x55 blocks (repesenting unreadable blocks)
without compression enabled.
This is intended to catch WIA files which have been created using
wit's default parameters (40 MiB block size), once the WIA PR is
merged. The check does however also work for GCZ files – not that
I think anyone has a GCZ file with a block size that large.
The code was actually already rather well adapted for this.
We more or less just have to skip ParseDisc and run
ParsePartitionData directly. This required the PartitionHeader
struct to be removed (which wasn't that useful anyway).
