Pcsx2 now has a gifUnit class which acts like the ps2's gif and executes a single gif transfer at a time (and performs path arbitration according to priority and path3 slicing).
This new code is generally a speedup for most games. Particularly VU heavy games like GoW.
This revision breaks old saved state compatibility so don't update if you wish to keep playing with your old saved states.
Leave comments if this revision fixes or breaks anything...
Message to GS Plugin authors:
This new code now uses only 1 gif callback to transfer data to the gs plugin (GSgifTransfer).
pcsx2 also is garaunteed to send full GS primitives to the plugin. So you don't have to account for partial-transfers anymore.
Thanks goes out to shadowlady who tested around 500 games for me :D
Note 1: The old gif code is still in this revision, and can be enabled by the USE_OLD_GIF macro. The old code will be deleted soon.
Note 2: This revision also enables assertion dialogs in devel builds, and changed a lot of assume cases into assertions.

* Convert IsoFileFormats.cpp into a class.
* Use wxFile and wxFileInputStream instead of windows/posix specific file functions.
* Added new ScopedAlloc classes, which are very simple dependency-free templates for exception-safe allocations.
* FastFormatString: Improved performance ad fixed an obscure bug.
* Drag&Drop (UI) - Improved the friendliness and responsiveness, so that PCSX2 doesn't end up tying up an explorer window while it prompts the user or issues error messages.

* Cleaned up trace logging and switched from C++ initializers to C-style const arrays. Kinda mixed on which I like better, but decided to go with the general rule of thumb that a bit less C++ weirdness is probably a good thing.
* Removed __assume() feature from pxFail and pxFailDev, due to the likeliness of unwanted/unexpected compiler behavior (MSVC only). To hint the compiler that code should be unreachable, explicitly use pxAssume(false).

I also re-implemented R5900 runtime exception handling for TLB Miss and such (devbuilds only, for now).

* Optimized codegen of the VPU recompiler using displaced memory offsets (1-2% speedup)
* Undid a lot of the inl stuff for more traditional cpp code layout (explained below)
* Removed some redundant code and turned some macros into functions.
* Renamed a few things to VPU (Vector Processing Unit, which is the specific name of the logic core that performs VIF Command Processing and Unpacking on the PS2)

* Configuration panels are all modal-less now, so that you can open the config panel and leave it open while running games.
* Handful of thread sync improvements.
* Fixed on-the-fly interpreter/recompiler configuration.
* Fixed plugin hotswapping (mostly works, but still a little funny at times)
* All new assertion dialogs and popup message handlers.
* RecentIsoList defaults to 12 instead of 6
Dev Notes:
* I had to create a new set of assertion functions called pxAssume*. Originally I hoped to avoid that complexity, and just use a single one-assert-fits-all case, but turned out blanketly using __assume() for all assertion cases wasn't reliable.
* wxGuiTools: Replaced the operator, with operator& -- the latter has proper order of precedence, the former required () to scope correctly. >_<

DevNote: Moved jNO_DEFAULT from the Pcsx2Defs.h, since it's too dependent on the Common libraries. It's now in Assertions.h. Plugins can use __assume(0); directly instead or roll their own.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2326 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Completely new assertion macros: pxAssert, pxAssertMsg, and pxFail, pxAssertDev (both which default to using a message). These replace *all* wxASSERT, DevAssert, and jASSUME varieties of macros. New macros borrow the best of all assertion worlds: MSVCRT, wxASSERT, and AtlAssume. :)
* Rewrote the Console namespace as a structure called IConsoleWriter, and created several varieties of ConsoleWriters for handling different states of log and console availability (should help reduce overhead of console logging nicely).
* More improvements to the PersistentThread model, using safely interlocked "Do*" style callbacks for starting and cleaning up threads.
* Fixed console logs so that they're readable in Win32 notepad again (the log writer adds CRs to naked LFs).
* Added AppInit.cpp -- contains constructor, destructor, OnInit, and command line parsing mess.
