I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to put the Wiimote
connect code as part of the Host interface, and have that called
from both the UI code and the core. And then hack around it by having
"force connect" events whenever Host_ConnectWiimote is called
from the core...
Showing the Wii remote connection status leads to inconsistent UX,
because we don't do anything like that for GameCube controllers
or with Bluetooth passthrough.
It's also questionable how useful it is given that:
* it doesn't print the number of connected remotes, just that one
remote is connected, connecting or not connected, so the only info
it provides is actually wrong when using multiple remotes;
* this user-facing feature is actually broken in master and no one has
complained AFAIK, which means people don't really rely on it;
* the status bar isn't visible most of the time unless the user is
using render to main or deliberately keeping the main window's
status bar visible by moving the render window and they're not too
far away from their screen;
* emulated Wii remotes now reconnect on input, which means that there
is less of a need to actually know at all times whether a remote
is connected, since pressing any button will reconnect it and provide
immediate, visible feedback via OSD messages and the Wii remote
pointer appearing.
This is something that should be the responsibility of the frontend
booting the game. Making this part of the host 'interface' inherently
requires frontends to leak internal details (much like the other
UI-related functions in the interface).
This also decouples more behavior from the debugger and the
initialization process in the wx frontend. This also eliminates several
usages of the parent menubar in the debugger code window.
EndPlayInput runs on the CPU thread so it can't directly call
UpdateWantDeterminism. PlayController also tries to ChangeDisc
from the CPU Thread which is also invalid. It now just pauses
execution and posts a request to the Host to fix it instead.
The Core itself also did dodgy things like PauseAndLock-ing
from the CPU Thread and SetState from EmuThread which have been
removed.
