The threads can't actually be started when determinism is enabled, as
the behavior would not be deterministic, but Open() still tries to
start the threads and wait, resulting in a deadlock when booting
certain games and homebrew in NetPlay.

The problem seemed to be that s_DILENGTH would get set to 0
at times when it shouldn't. Simply not changing it in case
of NoReply or DTK seems to fix the problem. However, we can
actually go one step further in accuracy and use data.size()
to change s_DIMAR and s_DILENGTH as partial reads (NoReply
commands) complete, instead of jumping directly to 0 when
the whole read completes.
It used to be the case that frame advance skipped duplicate frames
(i.e. it would take 30 frame advances to get through one second
of emulated time in a 30 fps game), but this broke in 9c5c3c0.
Skipping duplicate frames making TASing less annoying.
Since we are calling this off the UI thread, we can't use anything which
accesses the underlying NSView object. We create and set the Metal layer
on the UI thread before the video backend is initialized. This extension
is both compatible with MoltenVK and gfx-portability for accepting a
layer at surface creation.
This fixes a bug where pressing Enter in the "Do you want to stop the
current emulation?" confirmation popup also triggers a KeyRelease in
GameList, which starts a new game.
Also fixes the same crash when accessing the game details
(which only can be accessed after long pressing a game).
The problem was that we were not using a theme that had
an AppCompat theme as a parent.
Unfortunately, the game details dialog uses white on white on
Android TV, and I don't know how to fix this in a clean way.
Hardware tests have shown that if the number of texgens/channels do not
match, you get garbage rendering. Presumably because the output
registers from the XF stage are fed into the incorrect input registers
for TEV/BP.
Currently, this causes Dolphin to crash/generate invalid shaders with an
assertion failure in the hardware backends. Instead, we log an error.
Perhaps in the future we should just spit out all texgens/colors anyway
from both stages, and let cross-stage optimization take care of DCE'ing
it away. But doing so would require changing the UIDs and invalidating
everyone's shader caches.
This fixes a crash on ATV devices, because the the AlertDialog is
from the appcompat class, but the theme derived from the parent
view on ATV devices isn't from AppCompat.
