This fixes a problem that started happening in CoreTimingTest after the
previous commit. CPUThreadConfigCallback registers a Config callback
only once per run of the process, but CoreTimingTest calls
Config::Shutdown after each test, and Config::Shutdown was clearing all
callbacks, preventing the callback from running after that.
In theory, our config system supports calling Set from any thread. But
because we have config callbacks that call RunAsCPUThread, it's a lot
more restricted in practice. Calling Set from any thread other than the
host thread or the CPU thread is formally thread unsafe, and calling Set
on the host thread while the CPU thread is showing a panic alert causes
a deadlock. This is especially a problem because 04072f0 made the
"Ignore for this session" button in panic alerts call Set.
Because so many of our config callbacks want their code to run on the
CPU thread, I thought it would make sense to have a centralized way to
move execution to the CPU thread for config callbacks. To solve the
deadlock problem, this new way is non-blocking. This means that threads
other than the CPU thread might continue executing before the CPU thread
is informed of the new config, but I don't think there's any problem
with that.

In std::string, you can store strings using any encoding, but in Dolphin
we have decided to use UTF-8. The problem is that if you convert between
std::string and std::filesystem::path using the built-in methods, the
standard library will make up its own assumption of what encoding you're
using in the std::string. On most OSes this is UTF-8, but on Windows
it's whatever the user's code page is.
What I believe is the C++ standard authors' intended solution to this is
to use std::u8string instead of std::string, but that's a big hassle to
move over to, because there's no convenient way to convert between
std::string and std::u8string. Instead, in Dolphin, we have added helper
functions that convert between std::string and std::filesystem::path in
the manner we want. You *always* have to use these when converting
between std::string and std::filesystem::path, otherwise we get these
kinds of encoding problems that we've been having with custom textures.

The previous list had some issues. A lot of variant id's were set to 0x0000. Althought this works for some figures, on a technicallity implemented into the games, they are technically wrong and don't result in exactly the same experience as the real figures. For example, the previous small fry got a "series 1" text in the summon screen. The real small fry does not have this. I also added figure types so I can add seperate generation logic later.
The Kaos element only applies to 3 items. So, I decided to throw it under others since it's not listed as an element in the manual and you can easily search for Kaos
Android interprets char as unsigned char, so comparing with 0 triggers a
tautological-unsigned-char-zero-compare warning.
Casting c to an unsigned char and removing the comparison with 0
resolves the warning while needing one less comparison on all platforms.
