Second Fix for Issue 3539, by making pixel Dept calculation an option. in games with this issue Enabling pixel depth will solve the issue, in other games disabling the option will not cause speed lost

DX11: Fix a DX11 debug runtime error caused by the vertex shader output signature and the pixel shader input signature not matching if per-pixel lighting is disabled. Someone forgot disabling those pixel shader parameters ;P
DX11: Enable use of dynamic textures wherever possible.

The finding was that 99% of the time, textures are static in memory. However, Dolphin would pessimistically continue to decode and copy the same texture every time. The optimisation is to check if the texture matches what is in the cache, and if it does, Dolphin should early exit.
The result is the speed in New Super Mario Bros Wii increased 35% with spinning coins. Still not as fast as EFB copy to texture though.

Games affected by this change: Mario Smash Football, Mario Strikers Charged Football, Monster Hunter Tri.
Other games possibly affected: Shaun White Snowboarding, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Baten Kaitos.
This implementation will decrease performance if the game uses this feature, but the glitches will be gone. I'll add an option for this in a later commit. EFB pokes are somewhat slow in DX11 right now, speed should be okayish in DX9 though.
Other changes:
- SOMEWHAT cleaned up the EFB access code in DX9

This should be (nearly) invisible in Z16 depth copies and in games, but there is

Really that happens because the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative.
Example: CPReadWriteDistance: -864 CPEnd: 10092672 fifo.CPBase: 9568416
In SMG this is because PI_FIFO_RESET is writing and after fifo.CPReadWriteDistance will be setted to 0.
To Prevent that, I've Implemented AbortFrame function in the CommmandProcessor. It should fix overflown because of that.
Note: There is other issue (Issue 2846) where the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative too but the effect is different.

The GCC model for extended instructions like these is that you compile
with -msse3 etc. These affect code generation for whole compilation units,
so the idea is that you have a separate .c file for each instruction set
class and then indirect to the desired one at runtime.
Without e.g. -msse4.1, the GCC built-ins used by <foointrin.h> are not
available. However, in our specific case of compiling with -msse2 and
wanting to use SSE3.1 code, enough built-ins are available that we only
need to provide a little hack for pshufb.
Upgrading this to also use SSE4.1 instructions doesn't appear feasible
without a lot of undesirable duplication of GCC built-in functions and
headers, so we'd probably have to move to the GCC model of separate
source files for that.

Because we only ever call Pos_ReadDirect (and through that, DataRead<T>)
from JIT generated code, the compiler may not get the heads-up to properly
prepare for run-time instantiation of those template functions.
Explicitly instantiating Pos_ReadDirect gets around that issue.
Also force DataRead* inline as gcc didn't always do that itself when the
DataRead functions in turn were called from (other) template functions.

- use constant names in dx11 for buffer length calculation instead to simplify code reading
- implemented scaled efb copy in opengl, still bugy in some games, the option is not in the gui but will add it when it works perfect
- Change the depth calculation behavior:
if the game use z textures is exactly the same as before.
if the game do not use z texture calculate z values in the vertex shader. the advantage id this approach is that early z culling is applied,
improving fill rate. this mus speed up things, even with ssaa and msaa enabled.

replace efb to ram implementation by a hybrid approach.
explanation:
when copying from efb to texture, instead of make a copy to a texture or to the ram, copy the data to both, in hi quality to the texture and in native quality to the ram.
then instead of re-decoding the data from ram (very slow) use the data in the texture.
to improve this even more, test if the cpu has modified the data in the ram copy, if so, update the texture in memory and mark it as dynamic to avoid redundant work in future frames.
having all this implemented this is what is archived:
sms: full quality with scaled efb copies and fully functional goop cleaning :)
ztp: efb to texture speed with full map support.
nsmbw: this is a hard to emulate game, as it make a lot of shading and texture modification in cpu. it only have 35 fps in my system with new efb to ram but is 10 fps faster than normal efb to ram.
this game also show me another unimplemented feature, copy efb to multiple textures at the same time (is used to animate coins and other things in the world).
this is a remaining todo in efb to texture.
a lot of games should improve, so please test and let me know any regresion caused by this commit.
if everyone likes this the next step is, implement efb to multilpe textures and merge efb to ram and efb to texture.
then port to the other plugins.
enjoy.

1 - Optimize pixelshadergen to avoid redundant register overflow math, with this if a game don't need this will be not applied.
this must bring some fill rate back and improve speed a little in fill rate limited systems.
2- some corrections to vertexshadergen to avoid uninitialized texture coordinates, dono if is the correct way to fix it but t least it will make house of the dead overkill playable in dx11.
the bad thing: still missing geometri in dx9, in dx11 it works exactly as on opengl.
3 - some optimization made to improve fps a little wih the latests changes made to fifo.
* back to the original code in beginfield as now it will work right.
* check for efb access more often as a lot of time is lost waiting for efb access

Dual Core sync fix.
When the FIFO is processing data we must not advance the cpu cycles in CoreTiming because in this way the VI will be desynchronized. So, We are waiting until the FIFO finish and while we process only the events required by the FIFO.
This should fix Issue 2072 .
This affect to all games in dual core mode.
Please, You can test all games with VPS limiter auto, 60, 50 depending of the game and compare with prev revision.
For example now NSMB in the video Intro has 60 fps (prev 30 fps) :D or SMG does't need anymore FPS Limitter Hack to get 55-60 fps
Beside the slowdowns now are more softly and the fps more stables because the VI sync is almost perfect.
The Core Timing and Fifo modifications are delicated. Please report if this hang any game. Don't forget check with prev revision.
