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.

Xenosaga handles the half bottom as an vertex offset instead of a buffer
offset which does the effect twice.
Half bottom won't trigger a cache miss that skip the draw because it is
still the normal buffer but with a vertices offset.
