What this PR primarily does is to sort out the PAL-E mess.
Some have used PAL-E for Englsh, others for Europa (PAL-M5), and others still for España.
With this PR all PAL-E should refer to English, while the ones referring to Europa have PAL-M5 or something as a code, and the ones referring to España have PAL-S as a code.
Generally only one letter is used for the more common languages; English etc.
So is the case in this PR.
For some PAL-M2 entries in particular, though maybe also for some PAL-M3 entries, there can be 2 or more discs of the same game having this code; it's not necessarily a disc specific code - it only tells how many languages the disc supports.
So is the case in this PR.
Language codes used:
E - English
G - German
I - Italian
S - Spanish
F - French
P - Portuguese
R - Russian
DU - Dutch
NO - Norwegian
SE - Swedish
DA - Danish
FI - Finnish
CZ - Czech
PL - Polish
HR - Croatian
HI - Hindu
This informs PCSX2 which games want to access more than just their own save files so it can load them into the virtual folder memory card.
This includes:
- Multi-disc games which obviously need to access saves from the other disc(s).
- Games that allow importing data from prequels.
- Games that unlock bonuses if they find data from other games in the series, by the same developer, etc.
This is almost certainly not all games that would want to access other saves, but it should cover a lot them.
Game still doesn't look quite right in hardware renderer (too bright)
but the hideous graphics errors are fixed by changing clamp mode. This
game is considered something of a "hidden FPS gem", so it's nice to
think people will be able to play it on PCSX2 now.

Nice easy one to fix. Will need logs from recent SVN ( r5743 or higher) dev builds, not SVN builds in order to fix other versions.

All "macflag" reads are patched to ensure there's no other issues. I might have a go at the EU one soon (unless somebody can get me a dev build log of it all the way up to the first gate)

Also 3 patches for ace combat 4 (US). As I'm not aware of any physics problems I'm a bit confused about what this might fixed but the code is executed so it should fix something.

-Added patch for Drakan (SCES-50006) to improve the corruption problems when using resolution scaling.
-Many comment modifications and console comments explaining that BIOS boot is required for correct language selection.
Thanks for the updates :)

-Elemental Garde - Fixed up D-Bit so it remembers the microVU state when recompiling, this fixes the bad geometry that was introduced with T/D bit handling.
-WRC Rally Evolved - Changed the XGKick delay to an increased number, solves all remaining SPS problems.
-Crash Twinsanity - Increased XGKick delay resolves geometry issues on Crash, thanks to Autoran1 for debugging this :)
GameDB Changes: Added XGKick hack to Crash Twinsanity auto gamefixes, checked the main entries for the others above have it too.
