With the SI poll line count fixed, pretty much all games are polling
twice per frame anyways, making this option superfluous. Since it's a
bit of a gross hack and makes DTMs incompatible with console, let's
just bin it.
This new setting is like Override Language on NTSC Games, except
instead of only applying to the GameCube language setting,
it also applies to the Wii language setting.

QStringLiterals generate a buffer so that during runtime there's very
little cost to constructing a QString. However, this also means that
duplicated strings cannot be optimized out into a single entry that gets
referenced everywhere, taking up space in the binary.
Rather than use QStringLiteral(""), we can just use QString{} (the
default constructor) to signify the empty string. This gets rid of an
unnecessary string buffer from being created, saving a tiny bit of
space.
While we're at it, we can just use the character overloads of particular
functions when they're available instead of using a QString overload.
The characters in this case are Latin-1 to begin with, so we can just
specify the characters as QLatin1Char instances to use those overloads.
These will automatically convert to QChar if needed, so this is safe.
This changes the Host Input Authority and Golf Mode checkboxes into a
set of radio buttons, consisting of Fair Input Delay, Host Input
Authority, and Golf Mode. This represents the 3 network modes we have.
Although Golf Mode is just an extension of Host Input Authority, it's
more logical to the user to present it as a separate option, rather
than enabling the Golf Mode checkbox only when Host Input Authority is
enabled. This also eliminates the need to first enable Host Input
Authority before Golf Mode can be enabled.
This also adds tooltips to provide brief descriptions of the options,
as well as reintroducing tooltips that were previously removed.
The logic didn't account for the case where a player leaves, so the
host would be left in a dangling state where the UI is disabled but the
game won't start, requiring a full restart of Dolphin to fix.
This is an extension of host input authority that allows switching the
host (who has zero latency) on the fly, at the further expense of
everyone else's latency. This is useful for turn-based games where the
latency of players not on their turn doesn't matter.
To become the so-called golfer, the player simply presses a hotkey.
When the host is the golfer, latency is identical to normal host input
authority.
This eliminates the clutter of checkboxes at the bottom of the window.
A QAction within a QMenu cannot have a tooltip however, so they have
been removed and the options will be documented on the wiki.
