The problem was that the game does a branch in a branch delay slot, and mVU wasn't setting some pipeline state variable in this case correctly.
This in turn caused the pipeline state comparison for the block to always be wrong, which meant a new block would always be recompiled whenever this specific block was to be executed.
This ended up happening 1000's of times slowing down the game to 1 fps...

* Much header file cleanup and used forward declarations to remove a lot of excess includes; might help improve build times a wee bit.
* Preliminary hash-table implementation for the Game database.

Basically:
If a block begins with an illegal instruction then don't continue recompiling the block, instead recompile code that prints an error message if block is taken at execution time, and then exit execution if it is.
Dawn of Mana has a conditional branch which leads to a bunch of illegal instructions, but the branch is never really taken at execution time.
The programmer either left this in for debugging, or possibly because real code is swapped in-place of the illegal instructions at a later time.

- Double the audio output volume before sending it to the output modules. Was way too quiet.

* add some check on libsparsehash
* print more informative message when a depency miss

* Fullscreen mode should be remembered/applied properly now.
* implemented --fullscreen and --windowed options
* Made the --help popup a lot prettier

pcsx2 someIso.iso (boots game)
pcsx2 --nogui someIso.iso (boots game without the pcsx2 std interface)
pcsx2 --nogui --nodisc (boots into the bios system menu)
... more coming soon!

- Clamp requested pitch values to 0x3fff. Fixes games that set a too big pitch, run that voice and expect it to hit an IRQA (Romancing Saga).
- Gigaherz and Pseudonym worked out better modulation support. Should make some sounds better (FFX battle sound, etc).

* renamed PersistentThread to pxThread (shorter, sweeter, and the 'persistent' part is obsolete since its now a full blown thread manager since some while ago).
* Renamed a bunch of the PostMethodToMain stuff to Rpc_TryInvoke* (for remote procedure call). It's probably not a good use of the term, but I'm bummed I can't think of anything better/shorter.

We're free to put the ESA wherever we want. So let's use an area that makes the game Ys not die. :p

* Made all database key comparisons case-insensitive, so that "patches" and "Patches" both work as expected, etc.
* Applied patches should be remembered properly now when using suspend/resume and savestates (hopefully -- didn't test savestates yet).
DevNotes:
* Reorganized all game database code into a generic interface used by the emulation core (IGameDatabase), and app-side implementation (AppGameDatabase) that loads the files and provides info in a thread-safe manner.

* Added 3-state checkbox support to pxCheckBox.
* Fixed some buggy behavior when closing PCSX2 with either main window or console window minimized (window positions would get screwy)
DevNotes:
* Moved ImplementEnumOperators macro to Common headers and improved it a bit.

-ADMA can now be logged undependable from DMA.
-Visual core activity display works again.
