This patches some values in Powerdromes VU microprogram, which restores the 3d models of the characters.
The game uses the extended PS2 float range to do some culling calculations, so I have brung them down to be usable by x86, no other way to really fix this game.
Update all documentation for 1.6.
Source files for documentation are in md format and are kept in pcsx2\pcsx2\Docs, final exported/converted docs are in pdf format (Configuration_Guide and PCSX2_FAQ).

PO/POT/MO Localisation needs to be updated for the First time wizard to include the documentation changes.

Previous behaviour:
Anisotropic filtering was continuing to run even with Nearest filtering.
On opengl it doesn't run on nearest filtering. The gui for both
renderers also greys out aniso when nearest is selected.
Anisotropic filtering being able to run on palette texture. This caused
to break the rendering on palette textures for games that use it.
PR behavior:
The PR corrects both of these behaviors, Aniso won't run on palette
textures as well as nearest filtering.
Test cases for observing the issues were used: Star Ocean 3, Fifa
Street.
