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.

fixed screen clearing and simplify drawClearQuad a little
put some nice code from dx11 that i like in dx9.
modify plugin spec preparing for implementing efb poke (is not used often but is a missing functionality so..)
please test.

In the future if we merge wiimote too, this will bring the advantage that the two will be able to cooperate, to no longer fight over control of input devices which can sometimes cause problems.
Thanks shuffle2 for the patience.

hotkey configuration working with wx 2.9, but it turned out to be
too tempting to use it to hack up OS X keyboard support using wx
key events in the "old" input plugins.
It was with some reluctance that I used PAD_Input (and copied it
for Wiimote as well) as that is clearly a deprecated interface,
but this way the hack is contained within the old plugins for when
the switchover to ControllerInterface happens.
The idea is to provide stable keyboard support on OS X for both
GCPad and Wiimote while we debug HID keyboard and real 'mote code.
It works pretty well, although the wx approach does impose a few
limitations like no arrow keys and left/right side modifier keys
are considered equivalent.

Not only does it change tons of files to switch to a new and non-working (it doesn't parse my ini files, at least) ini parser, it also reshuffles a lot of code and removes a plugin. The latter part is fine, but doing these two major switches in one revision, one of which is broken, is completely unacceptable. I said to merge tiny changes, not massive reworkings.

Also added a window size setting for windowed mode.
Also pulled some X11 specific code out into a separate file.

Removed X event loops from GCPad and Wiimote plugins, and implemented an asynchronous check for keyboard and mouse buttons.
Also added an X event loop in core that handles events while the emulator is paused. Prevents unexpected behavior from events that occur while the emulator is paused.
Now there is only one event loop running at a time (besides those hidden in SDL).
I will revert this commit if other devs are unhappy with it.

Advantages:
* Less confusion for users
* No need to build twice to make sure you didn't break something
* Easier to switch between the cores for testing
Disadvantages:
* None, as far as I can tell :) Maybe some extra code complexity, but not much.
Also break some include chains that caused <windows.h> to get included into everything, slowing down the build on Windows. There's more to do here though, there's still a lot of files that get it included that don't need it at all.

All you gotta do is Pause the emulation! That's useful for when your batteries run out during gameplay, for example...
But if you change the WiiMote source (between Emulated, Real or Inactive) you must disconnect and reconnect (Menu Tools -> Connect WiiMote) the WiiMotes affected by the change...
Thanks to jack.fr0st who did all the emulation state notification work!
Now every plugin has a way to know the current emulation state (paused, stopped or playing)
@ayuanx: I thought about doing a PostMessage(g_WiimoteInitialize.hWnd, WM_USER, WIIMOTE_DISCONNECT, current_number); so that the user gets asked to reconnect that WiiMote, trying to avoid having to disconnect and reconnect, but it didn't work because shooting that message only asks to reconnect, doesn't do a disconnect... Do you have any ideas on how to accomplish that?
Also, if anyone could check if Issue 1916 is finally fixed... Or at least when is the cursor being hidden or not...

* You can connect/disconnect one or more WiiMote from Menu->Tools any time (must pause game first)
* Up to 4 Emulated Wiimotes can work together at the same timer
(PS: "Wiimote_Real" needs to be rewritten to support Multi-WiiMote, and it could be broken already now)

. Performance boost
(Completely non-blocking between Sound thread and CPU thread, in the meantime keeping them thread safe)
. Both 32KHz & 48KHz sound can be handled properly now
(But up-sampling is still not implemented, and I don't think any game requires it.)
. Strategy adjustment
When your PC is *NOT* capable to run the game at 100%:
>> DSound Could yield more fluent sound than OpenAL sometimes, but you will lose the sync between video & audio (since audio is played before video to guarantee fluency)
>> OpenAL Ensures video & audio are always sync'ed, but sound could be intermittent(to let slow video catch up)
. Changed default frame limit to: Auto
(Somehow this can dramatically decrease the chance of wiimote desync in game NSMB)

Code cleanup in nJoy i had around for a while, it also adds code to support SDL 1.3's force feedback API and is more stable (will not crash anymore on stop when rumble is enabled)

- FIFO changes - minor cleanup, code organization based on Nolan's changes
- Minor code cleanup
- CommandProcessor changes - Allow BP IRQ clearing for either raising or falling edges.
- Revived old SetFifoIdle code
Gets Pokemon XD to run, but will crash to any CPU-GPU desync. Other games like Metroid Prime, look happy with the new FIFO changes.
Please report any problems.
