On all platforms, this would result in out of bounds accesses when getting the component sizes (which uses stuff from VertexLoader_Position.h/VertexLoader_TextCoord.h/VertexLoader_Normal.h). On platforms other than x64 and ARM64, this would also be out of bounds accesses when getting function pointers for the non-JIT vertex loader (in VertexLoader_Position.cpp etc.). Usually both of these would get data from other entries in the same multi-dimensional array, but the last few entries would be truly out of bounds. This does mean that an out of bounds function pointer can be called on platforms that don't have a JIT vertex loader, but it is limited to invalid component formats with values 5/6/7 due to the size of the bitfield the formats come from, so it seems unlikely that this could be exploited in practice.
This issue affects a few games; Def Jam: Fight for New York (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12719) and Fifa Street are known to be affected.
I have not done any hardware testing for this PR specifically, though I *think* I previously determined that at least a value of 5 behaves the same as float (4). That's what I implemented in any case. I did previously determine that both Def Jam: Fight for New York and Fifa Street use an invalid normal format, but don't actually have lighting enabled when that normal vector is used, so it doesn't change rendering in practice.
The color component format also has two invalid values, but VertexLoader_Color.h/.cpp do check for those invalid ones and return a default value instead of doing an out of bounds access.
Texture dumping can already be done using VideoCommon's system (and in fact the same setting already enabled *both* of these). Dumping objects/TEV stages/texture fetches doesn't currently have an equivalent, but could be added to the FIFO player instead.

Additionally, VCacheEnhance has been added to UVAT_group1. According to YAGCD, this field is always 1.
TVtxDesc also now has separate low and high fields whose hex values correspond with the proper registers, instead of having one 33-bit value. This change was made in a way that should be backwards-compatible.
The special case doesn't appear to make a significant difference in any games, and the current implementation has a (minor, fixable) issue that breaks Super Mario Sunshine (both with a failed assertion (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11742) and a rendering issue (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/7476)). Hardware testing wasn't able to reproduce the special case, either, so it may just not exist.
PR #9315 contains a fixed implementation of the special case on all video backends, and can serve as a basis for it being reintroduced if it is found to exist under more specific circumstances. For now, I don't see a reason to keep it present.
Now that we've extracted all of the stateless functions that can be
hidden, it's time to make the index generator a regular class with
active data members.
This can just be a member that sits within the vertex manager base
class. By deglobalizing the state of the index generator we also get rid
of the wonky dual-initializing that was going on within the OpenGL
backend.
Since the renderer is always initialized before the vertex manager, we
now only call Init() once throughout the execution lifecycle.
Makes the global variable follow our convention of prefixing g_ on
global variables to make it obvious in surrounding code that it's not a
local variable.
Normalizes all variables related to statistics so that they follow our
coding style.
These are relatively low traffic areas, so this modification isn't too
noisy.
I have no clue what this special case shall be, but accessing g_main_cp_state within Flush() is not allowed.
We likely still have a bad behavior, but now it only depends on the current state, not on the next one after flushing.
