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.
Enjoy it! Thanks to Rodolfo for teach me all about dolphin.

- RGBA8 (DX9/OGL): 10x speed up on Radeon 5450, 2x speed up on other cards due to swizzle registers.
- RGB565: 2-3x speed up on all hardware
- Removed OpenCL compiler warnings (eg. redefine).
OpenCL is now optimally complete for DX9/OGL. The code is very fast on all supported hardware. No more updates are needed unless the spec changes or drivers improve. When I started, the OpenCL code was as slow or slower than CPU. Now, using the lowest end radeon that supports the code: a Radeon 45xx mobility, I experience a substantial 2-10x speedup over CPU. The benefits are more pronounced with modern hardware. A Radeon 5870 runs this code 20x faster than a 4550. Even ignoring speedups, the code benefits users by not using CPU for intermittent texture loads (unless GPU is your bottleneck). Instead, the CPU is able to do more important tasks.

From now on if you create a GUI option specific to a particular build, do not gray it out. Instead do as I have done here and make it not present on those builds. It may add a few precompiler conditionals that developers have to look at, but that is considerably better than a completely useless option that the end user has to look at.

Changes:
- IA4: 2x Speed up for all hardware and ATI glitch fixed (blocky text)
- IA8: 2x Speed up for all hardware
- New DX11 OCL Textures: I4, I8, IA4, IA8

Fix the decoder codepath when OpenCL is enabled and the DX11 plugin is used.
Added the DX11 plugin to the Dolphin project dependencies.

Cleanups, documentation, ...
Theoretically enable anisotropic filtering if selected in the config, not sure if it works though.

Changes:
- Strict casting as required by NVidia. Now NVidia cards should work.
- Fixed Alpha CMPR bug.
Please tell me if you find any bugs. Current known bug is the 'Press' texture in Paper Mario that is meant to flash rainbow colours appears black. Other than that, everything should work on every videocard.

I don't know if issue 2792 is a valid issue for dolphin. I think that is a bug in the X server implementation on those distributions of those affected. I can not replicate it.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5758 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
Make font rendering a lot prettier.
Fix constant buffers in EmuGfxState::ApplyState() to really have a size which is a multiple of 16 instead of 65536.

New OpenCL updates:
- OpenCL bug with ATI SDK (GPU or CPU) fixed.
- IA4 texture loop unrolled. 12x speed up on 4xxx series.
- Completed rewriting RGB5A3 texture decode. 20% faster.
- Redundant code removed from CMPR and RGB5A3 (Alpha, shift).
- Made use of optimised OpenCL functions (upsample, bitselect).
- Cleaner code.
Tested and working with DX9 plugin. DX11 plugin will NOT work due to a recent commit affecting VideoCommon. You can use this file with an older DX11 plugin (~r5730), however.

minor code changes and adding comments.
And issue fix 2792 with credits to Karloathian for finding and fixing it.

Remove superfluous _WIN32 checks in DX11 and DX9. Meant to port that code over to Linux or what? :P
