- Reimplemented AbortFrame. Now the Write Gather Pipe buffer is reseted and Read Write Distances is reseted before the game do it instead the process all GP CPRWDistance for prevent CP wrong pointers.
This fifo reset should be more accurate, efficient and smooth the FPS when happens. Please, test regresion of SMG1 and SMG2 or others games with FIFO RESETS.

- I've implemented calling to ProcessFifoEvents when is there is a pending event in the main queue from CP, PE & GP
- I've implemented FifoIntReset(TRUE, TRUE) in write Clear Register.

- Improved the GP Register Status: now this is all the time from the fifo loop.
- Improved the Interrupts manage:
1) Removed All UpdateInturrupts from CommandProcessor Writes and Read.
2) now the CP interrupts are schedule from the video thread and the fifo loop waiting until this happens
3) considering Inmediate mode for the CP interrupts
3) Implemented Interrupt CP Cache State
4) Implemented only Overflow interrupt in GatherPipeCheck because this need to be detected quickly.
- Implemented Overflow handling like a real HW, when Hiwatermark interrupt happens this write ClearRegister with True en HI and False in LO (FifoIntReset) after that a Control Register is writed and the FIFO is processed to LO Watermark.
- Removed all ugly code from LO and HI watermark manage
- Removed all ugly code from BP manage
- Change >= by == in the BP clauses
- Removed speed hack (1024 chunk) for better GP Status Control.
- Commented GXSetGPFifo very soon hack
- Commented FackWatchDog hack
- Commented FIFO_RW_DISTANCE = WritePointer hack
This is the beginning and the base for the future., If this broke your favorite game my apologize, only report this and will try solve it. If you have a Overflown don't worry, I've implemented the real solution code using the Overflow Interruption only need continue working for a perfect protection. Why I did it? Because is preferable a accurate and clean fifo instead hack y fifo for improve that. Thanks to DONKO for you awesome Video Plug in and skid for the chatting. PD: I have 7-10 fps more in the star fox video. bye :P

Really that happens because the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative.
Example: CPReadWriteDistance: -864 CPEnd: 10092672 fifo.CPBase: 9568416
In SMG this is because PI_FIFO_RESET is writing and after fifo.CPReadWriteDistance will be setted to 0.
To Prevent that, I've Implemented AbortFrame function in the CommmandProcessor. It should fix overflown because of that.
Note: There is other issue (Issue 2846) where the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative too but the effect is different.
I'm working to solve this.

This is EXPERIMENTAL, in theory don't break any game but if so Revert this commit immediately please.
Note: Beside Eternal Darkness needs DirectX 11 or DirectX 9 with Zelda Hack to works fine.

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.

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.

- 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.

This change also includes tons of minor code formatting cleanup. Yeah, should've separated it ... sorry :(
Kills the old CPUCompare support. I'll resurrect it if I need it again, right now it mostly clutters the code.

2) DC/GPfifo work: GP quicker to react. PeekMessages at a more steady rate.
3) Fix XFB address to avoid crash like with Animal Crossing gc. TODO: VI regs need proper typedef and logic.
4) Few misc. changes on the fly.
