This fixes severe image flickering in some cutscenes of Twin Snakes. The game appears to sometimes load a previously made XFB copy as a texture before it is actually rendered to the screen, which we took as an invitation to invalidate the XFB copy.
Prior to this commit, the emitter would unconditionally emit a 10-byte
instruction known as MOVABS when loading a 64-bit immediate to a
register.
0: 48 b8 ef be ad de ff movabs rax,0xffffffffdeadbeef
7: ff ff ff
With this change, it will instead emit a 7-byte instruction when it is
possible to express the 64-bit immediate using a signed 32-bit value.
0: 48 c7 c0 ef be ad de mov rax,0xffffffffdeadbeef
Two reasons for this change. First, it appears that some android launchers do some sort of call into
the application when long pressing the app icon, which in turn calls the DirectoryInit service. This
was ok to do prior to Oreo but will cause crashes with the new restrictions on services running
in the background. Which leads to the second reason that DirectoryInit doesn't need to be a service
at all since these actions are required for dolphin to function and shouldn't be a scheduled action.
So we instead just kick this off in a new thread and send the broadcast when done.
If, for whatever reason, the XFB has to be loaded from console memory, it's possible that the texture is returned at native resolution instead of EFB-scaled resolution. In this case, our xfb_rect.right adjustment must also happen at native resolution instead of scaled resolution.
The header of a Wii disc can be read from two places: The
unencrypted area at the beginning of the disc, or the beginning of
the game partition. The two copies are usually identical (except
for 0x60 and 0x61), but there are exceptions. For most of Dolphin's
history, we have been reading from the header inside the game
partition when getting metadata. This was however not the case
starting with 4.0-4901 and ending with 5.0-3762. This commit once
again makes Dolphin read metadata from the unencrypted header,
because of the following reasons that I recently was informed about:
- The "pink fish" disc has the game ID 410E01 in the unencrypted
header but the placeholder game ID RELSAB in the partition header.
- The revisions of some games differ between the two headers,
with the unencrypted one making more sense.
(See https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11387)
For better or worse, this also means that sloppily hacked games where
only the game ID in the unencrypted header has been changed now will
use that modified game ID. And unlike with the partition header,
there is no signing or hashing that can tell us whether the
unencrypted header has been modified by someone other than Nintendo.
Dolphin has traditionally treated the SI IO buffer (128 bytes) as a set of
32 little endian u32s. This works out fine if you only ever read/write
using aligned 32bit accesses. Different sized accesses or misaligned reads
will mess it up. Byte swapping reads/writes will fix this up, but all the
SI devices that use the SI IO buffer need to be adjusted.
The LogManager code had trouble detecting the "/Source/Core/" substring
for two reasons, neither of which seemed to happen a few years ago:
1. __FILE__ is in lowercase on MSVC
2. __FILE__ uses backslash as the directory separator on MSVC

Several functions (and one variable) were being given external linkage.
Instead, relocate them all to anonymous namespaces to make them
internally linked.
Puts the comment in the header where it's more likely to be seen
initially. We can also remove the TODO, given doing nothing or returning
an error is what is generally done for the JIT interface if the JIT
instance isn't valid.
With 7aa305ea35 merged, all that remains
within Profiler.cpp is an unused function that just forwards to the
equivalent function within JitInterface. Given that, we can just remove
the source file.
