Shader is more and more complex and multithreading support greatly
reduce the cost of shader switch
Nvidia allows to get the ASM of the shader of the compiled shader. It is useful
to check the performance.
It also allow me to compile most of shader code path for QA

On wxWidgets3.0, using GetSymbol() on a nonexistent symbol causes error
messages to be logged. This causes all plugins except GSdx to output
error messages when an attempt to load the PS2EsetEmuVersion symbol fails.
Suppress the error message - it'll probably just cause unnecessary
confusion.
This means that we are now no longer touching files that haven't technically been written to. Some games use timestamp information to automatically highlight the save that was last written to, so this should fix a small but annoying bug where it would highlight the wrong one.
Do note that while there is a much simpler check that looks like this:
// Remove (== don't flush) all memory card pages that haven't actually changed.
for ( auto oldIt = m_oldDataCache.begin(); oldIt != m_oldDataCache.end(); ++oldIt ) {
auto newIt = m_cache.find( oldIt->first );
assert( newIt != m_cache.end() ); // if this isn't true something broke somewhere, the two maps should always contain the same pages
if ( memcmp( &oldIt->second.raw[0], &newIt->second.raw[0], PageSize ) == 0 ) {
m_cache.erase( newIt );
}
}
m_oldDataCache.clear();
It can fail in edge cases that don't actually seem too unlikely. Imagine a save being deleted, and then a new save from the same game but in a different slot being created quickly afterwards. It seems quite possible that the new save's file data then occupies the exact same pages as the old save's, and since it's from the same game it might be close enough to where a page sized section (juse 0x200 bytes!) matches the data from the old save that previously resided in that location -- which would cause this code to throw away and not flush this data! It's a shame too, since this variant would be a few ms faster as well, but I feel it's better to be safe than sorry here.
This mainly means that the superblock is now no longer written every single time the memory card is closed, but only when it's changed (which should be exactly once, when the memory card is formatted). It also means that you can format a memory card and then have the emulator crash later without having to reformat the card next time.
We're not actually deleting files though, we just rename them to prepend _pcsx2_deleted_, in case something breaks or whatever, so the user can in an emergency just restore the save by removing that part of the filename.
This eliminates prompts at the start of a game complaining about no
memory card being inserted.
I'm honestly not entirely sure if this is safe (is there some memory
card driver that could cache results between different executables?) but
if it isn't we'll see it soon enough!
* Reduce the amount of times path strings are constructed.
* Move file metadata writing to the file helper, which means it will only be written once per consecutive file access instead of on every file chunk.
This allows us to skip a bunch of accesses trying to find a matching file or memory location, presumably without actual consequences. This isn't really gonna change much in actual game use, but does speed up conversions of FileMemoryCards.
It was possible for an invalid (because never written to, so filled with 0xFF) file entry to be recognized as valid in GetFileEntryPointer(), which cascaded up to it flushing file data as fileEntryDict data and thus losing the relevant file data page.
Not sure if the other two entry accesses changed here are affected as well but better be safe than sorry, I suppose.
