- Eliminate the useless check for cpu modifications option from efb to ram as it must be enabled always
- 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.
please test for regression and enjoy.

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.

in general cleanup and bugfix disable pierre patch for the moment as it causes problem in some games and hopefully fix the remaining missing textures for nvidia users in opengl.
make the code in pixelshadergen looks nice and readable.
D3D: this is a ultra experimental commit please check for regressions or error.
make the efb Scale / super sampling level customizable to improve the output quality and let the user configure quality according to his hardware.
is everyone likes this change will translate it to opengl
please test

variables, writeable strings and dangerously shadowed variables.
index(), gamma(), exp() and y0() are POSIX functions and using those
names can cause namespace confusion.
A number of C files were missing the final newline required by ANSI C
and some versions of GCC are pedantic enough to complain about this.
These changes simply the scons build, allowing us to get rid of
filterWarnings which is simply more trouble than it's worth.

first fixed scaling when updating backbuffer to make it friendly with encoders, now frame dumping must work without errors in any codec.
clean screenshot and frame dumping code now is more correct, faster and stable.
improve safe texture cache, improving the distribution of the hash algorithm, including tlut hash in the final hash of the texture, and making use of a 64 bit hash to make it more accurate.
clean a lot of code and corrected some missused vertex formats when drawing full screen quads.
and biggest change last:
implemented pseudo antialiasing: a image post-process algorithm that mimics antialiazing and is fare more easier to implement in this scenario.
you can change the intensity of the effect changing the values of the antialiasing combo. the right value depends on the game.
for example mkwii looks awesome with 8x.
please try all the changes and let me know the results.
if something is broken, please let me know and will fix it asap.

in D3D and Opengl:
fixed one nasty bug in texture loading where if a dynamic texture keeps his format but the tlut format is changed, the try or reloading the texture in the same texture could cause a hang if the size of the resulting texture is different than the original (size in bytes)
Applied a ugly temporal hack to the texture conversor to solve efb to ram misalignments and effect distortions.
in D3D:
Pseudo implementation of logic ops using basic blending: the first 8 operations are "good approximations", the remaining 8 are bullshit :) if someone have a better approximation to emulate this logic please let me know.
please test if i don't break anything in the process and test Mario kart wee you will get a nice surprise.:)

Still, memory leak exists for some unknown reason (we don't allocate more pages and we release every texture)
