In case someone wants to be very careful with how much bandwidth
they use or with what data GameTDB.com collects on you.
This is already an option in DolphinQt (though in DolphinQt it
will switch entirely from using covers to banners when turned off).
Instead of comparing the game ID, revision, disc number and name,
we can compare a hash of important parts of the disc including
all the aforementioned data but also additional data such as the
FST. The primary reason why I'm making this change is to let us
catch more desyncs before they happen, but this should also fix
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12115. As a bonus, the UI can
now distinguish the case where a client doesn't have the game at
all from the case where a client has the wrong version of the game.
Continues the migration to using fmt.
Notably, this allows safely converting a map within USBUtils over to
containing string view instances, rather than std::string instances, as
fmt safely handles the formatting of string views.
This feature was originally exclusive to the previous iteration of
DolphinQt (the one that was the reason for the current iteration
being named DolphinQt2 initially).

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.

...in addition to the existing function CreateVolume
(renamed from CreateVolumeFromFilename).
Lets code easily add constraints such as not letting the user
select a WAD file when using the disc changing functionality.
Same behavior but doesn't take up 8 bytes in the executable to store a
pointer. While we're at it, move it into an anonymous namespace within
the UICommon namespace.
We already check ahead of time if the optional contains a value within
it before accessing it, so we don't need to use the throwing value()
accessor. We can just directly use operator->
Rather than construct strings twice, we can just construct it once and
reuse it. While we're at it, we can move variables closer to where
they're actually used within DownloadDefaultCover()
Because the GC language setting cannot be set to Japanese, we
need a special condition for Japanese GC games. I accidentally
removed it in PR 7816, but here it is again in a new form.
We could do the same thing with Korean GC games if we want to
(which we couldn't do before PR 7816), but due to how spotty
GameTDB is with having Korean names for Korean GC releases,
things will be more consistent if we just use English for them.
Instead of selecting languages based on the user config at the time
of TitleDatabase creation and merging the different languages into one
map for GC and one map for Wii, have one map for each language, and
have the caller supply the language they want. This makes us not need
the IsGCTitle function, which is inaccurate for IDs that start with D.
The difference between Dolphin's game IDs and GameTDB's game IDs
is that GameTDB uses four characters for non-disc titles, whereas
Dolphin uses six characters for all titles.
This fixes:
- TitleDatabase considering Datel discs to be NHL Hitz 2002
- Gecko code downloading not working for discs with IDs starting with P
- Cover downloading mixing up discs with channels (e.g. Mario Kart Wii
and Mario Kart Channel) and making extra HTTP requests. (Android was
actually doing a better job at this than DolphinQt!)
ChunkFile doesn't use any of the file utilities, so we can drop these
headers to avoid pulling in unnecessary dependencies. This also
uncovered a few indirect inclusions.
Deduplicates code, and gets rid of some problems the old code had
(such as: bad performance when calling native functions, only one
disc showing up for multi-disc games, Wii banners being low-res,
unnecessarily much effort being needed for adding more metadata).
