- Clear alpha channel to 0xFF instead of 0x00 whenever we (re-)create the EFB texture
- Disable color/alpha channels whenever the actual EFB format doesn't use them
Fixes issue 2826.
Fixes issue 1879.
Please check if issue 3014 is fixed now, as well as any other games which might have broken due to ClearScreen changes.
For what it's worth, Super Mario Sunshine still shows a small glitch even with these changes.

Will fix some games and break some others.
Assist trophies in SSBB work fine now, Super Mario Sunshine is a little broken again.
Still needs some more work...

skid_au had implemented this in a previous revision and enabled it by default, but it caused glitches if STC wasn't set to "safe" (which kinda defeated the purpose since it slowed down stuff again).
Also renamed the "safe texture cache" to "accurate texture cache", since setting the "safe" texture cache to "safe" sounds kind of silly..

(probably nobody else cares, but I need at least one video plugin that actually works on this computer)

- Merge the EmuWindow class to VideoCommon.
- Implement free look in the D3D plugins. Seems like it had broken before though; only rotating the view works..

* More formats recognition for "Clear Screen" step. Improved the ability handling the alpha channel (% color translucency).
* Related to CPUID detecting:
- Added support displaying correct SysInfo for recent multicore Intel CPUs x86-64 with HT/SMT (Core i3/i5/i7 and Xeon) based on Nehalem architecture.
+ minor and passive changes.

This comment should give a great speed increase, numerous games (SMG, NSMBW, DKCR, ...) which I tested are at least 20% faster now!

DX9: Revert to the old EFB coordinate scaling. Glitches caused by higher EFB scales probably can't even be fixed properly in DX9, so let's not even mess with it...

Should fix problems caused by EFB scales other than Native (excluding fractional!). Test whether this fixes games which work fine with native EFB resolution but show glitches with higher internal resolutions.
Also fixed numerous warnings.

Separated UI from debugger functionality. Generally cleaned up that stuff.
Most functionality needs to be reimplemented now, but will be available to D3D9, D3D11 as well as OpenGL then.

- Speed up MSAA by using custom resolve shaders instead of ID3D11DeviceContext::ResolveSubresource().
- Fix EFB access when MSAA is enabled.
- Implement the "force linear filtering" option.
- Compile shaders using shader model 4.1 or 5.0 if available.
- Some minor cleanups.
Who cares about DX9 and OGL anyway :P

DX11: Fix a DX11 debug runtime error caused by the vertex shader output signature and the pixel shader input signature not matching if per-pixel lighting is disabled. Someone forgot disabling those pixel shader parameters ;P
DX11: Enable use of dynamic textures wherever possible.
DX9: Remove two unnecessary TODOs. Someone forgot removing those since they've been obsolete for a long time ;P
Anyway, at least working mipmaps and dynamic textures should increase DX11 performance a bit. And "a bit" is more than my usual "marginally" ;)

- Add some info about a backend's feature set (MSAA, Real XFB, EFB to RAM, ..) to VideoConfig
- Gray out options if they aren't supported by the backend or if changing them doesn't affect anything (e.g. changing STC mode if STC is disabled)
- Allow signed bytes for D3D11. Not sure if this causes glitches, but it should work
- Call wxEvent.Skip() in the event function handlers, not sure if this fixes any bugs but the old code definitely caused bugs during development of this patch
- Fix a memory leak in the configuration dialog if D3D11 is used
- Other minor stuff that doesn't need to be mentioned or which I forgot

a little bugfix in vertex loading and some fixes.
not much time to work these days but at least i can spend a little time fixing thing.
please test for regressions.

DX9: When clearing the back buffer in Renderer::Swap(), use IDirect3DDevice9::Clear instead of a clear quad if possible. Should improve performance marginally.

Not sure how to fix Dolphins hotkeys when 3D Vision is enabled (I do know a way, but it's messy and I don't want 3D Vision messing with Dolphin's cleanliness).

The finding was that 99% of the time, textures are static in memory. However, Dolphin would pessimistically continue to decode and copy the same texture every time. The optimisation is to check if the texture matches what is in the cache, and if it does, Dolphin should early exit.
The result is the speed in New Super Mario Bros Wii increased 35% with spinning coins. Still not as fast as EFB copy to texture though.

Explanation of this commit: We only have to care about four BP registers in ClearScreen, the remaining API state should be reset. The colorEnable and alphaEnable parameters are obsolete, for some reason directly using them caused the SMS glitch with DX11 (because of that bpmem.zcontrol.pixel_format == PIXELFMT_RGBA6_Z24 check in BPFunctions.cpp, is this one actually correct?)
The comment in BPFunctions.cpp was at least misleading (if not even wrong), so I removed it.
For what it's worth, someone needs to port this to the OpenGL and Software plugins (unless they're doing this properly already)

Games affected by this change: Mario Smash Football, Mario Strikers Charged Football, Monster Hunter Tri.
Other games possibly affected: Shaun White Snowboarding, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Baten Kaitos.
This implementation will decrease performance if the game uses this feature, but the glitches will be gone. I'll add an option for this in a later commit. EFB pokes are somewhat slow in DX11 right now, speed should be okayish in DX9 though.
Other changes:
- SOMEWHAT cleaned up the EFB access code in DX9
- Fixed incompatible parameter list of AccessEFB and TVideo_AccessEFB.
- Fixed a theoretical bug in ReplaceRGBATexture2D, add support for STAGING textures
- Removed unused parameters in various DX9 functions

The "Enable Progressive Scan" option in the Wii menu now controls whether the Wii/GC will detect a progressive scan display. This affects the timing of some games (both GC and Wii). Usually, the checkbox should be unticked as progressive scan displays require higher bandwidth.
This fixes the slow speed in NBA JAM. This also fixes the hang in Megaman Network Transmission. This should fix Deadly Creatures (turn off progressive scan).
Fixes issue 3314.
Fixes issue 3066.
Fixes issue 2571.
