Fircrestsk8 040a6e1eb3 This commit addresses the Hyrule field slowdown issue in Zelda: Twilight Princess, as discussed in Xtreme2damax's thread: http://forums.dolphin-emu.com/thread-10638.html. It can be activated in the DX9, DX11, and OpenGL plugin GUI's. Enabling the hack while playing other games besides ZTP will likely have either an undesirable or no(more likely) effect.
The code changes disable the usual pipeline flush for certain BP Writes that occur while the minimap is being drawn in Zelda: twilight princess. This significantly increases speed while in hyrule field. The way this is accomplished is described more in depth on page 42 of Xtreme's thread. Big thanks to Xtreme for doing a great job hosting that thread, and Kiesel-stein for initial work on the hack

Also, I used the resource editor in Visual studio to generate the GUI code for the DX11 plugin, and some code appeared to be removed, although the behavior of the GUI did not seem to change. Hopefully someone more experienced with resource files (forms?) can double check that no code was damaged
