* Added versioning info to savestates! (along with some other bugfixes)
* Simplified the Boot and System menus -- removed the old Skip BIOS hack and replaced it with the new BOOT2 injection method (which is considered hack-free at this time).
* Removed lots of UI deadlock gotchas.
* Some new confirmation dialogs and better error handling.
* Implemented an exclusive SysExecutor thread, which serves the purpose of executing system/VM commands and events in uninterrupted order (including suspend, resume, savestates, etc.)
* ... and probably broke linux!

Rationale: FromAscii should only be used on old-style DOS/ANSI character strings that use the upper 128 characters for drawing pictures or writing umlauts, which is pretty much nothing at all as far as PCSX2 is concerned. Chances are even the japanese console logs coming from the PS2 itself use UTF8.

MemoryCard / Multitap Renovations:
* Memorycards should now support multitap (somewhat untested)
* Implemented a memorycard plugin interface, using the new API defined in PluginCallbacks.h (still prelim and hackish)
* Memorycard settings are saved to ini!
* Multitap is now controlled by PCSX2 instead of the pad plugin (which means no multitap until we implement the gui toggles to enable it)
