Need to adjust GameDB entries for to remove ones no longer required, added EE Timing fix for SOCOM as that seems to fix it up like its sequel.
Some misc changes too which are inconsequential (mostly formatting)
* VIF MSCAL instructions wait on VU T-Bit stop
Fixes:
The Sims
Spiderman 3
Sharks Tale
Maybe some bits of Over the Hedge
* Removed Spiderman 3 patches
* Fix VIF DMA resuming when stalled on tag
* Remove warning which doesn't really need to be there anymore
1/ initReadFifo will be first called on the GS thread
(openGL can only be done on the GS thread)
2/ readFifo will be called on the EE thread. It is not safe too access eeMem from GS
because of memory is virtual
Fix "recent" regression (crash) on Kingdom heart and others game too.
v2: add a len check on GSState::InitReadFIFO
-Implemented GIF_MODE Masking fixed the All Star Pro Wrestling series slowness/hanging.
DMA:
-Standardize the IPU and SIF dma's to use the standard chain handling in hw.c, fixed up some DMA resuming stuff in the forementioned units, VIF, GIF and SPR.
-Added some warnings for DMA stall control which isn't implemented, hopefully somebody will find a game that does it so we can add/test it :)

I'm expecting something to break, it's my code, it's bound to. But i have tested some 40 games without problems, so my hopes are high!

Everblue: Slightly messy fix, not as nice as id hope, but it seems to work, we need to remember VU programs written to the VU so we can check if an unpack is modifying it. This retains the behaviour of the Snowblind engines whilst fixing everblue.
Hitman 2: Our vif0/1VUFinish() routing which works in conjunction with the delays wasn't paying attention to if the VIF was stalled or not and reran it before the game wanted it to, now fixed.

VIF Stall Delay hack: Modified slightly for Onimusha Blade Warriors. This expects the end of the packet to all be in the VIF1 FIFO (which doesn't exist) and the VIF to have finished, so the Stall is technically ignored now, doesn't hurt SOCOM 2.

-Fixed a bug stopping GT4 running.
-VIF now waits if the VU is busy rather than spinning, causing huge slowdowns.
-Filled in some bits i missed

Path3 Masking: Fixed a bug which caused persona 3 not to boot, previous a hack had been put in place to get around this.
VIF: Fixed a VIF error with the rare game Realta Nua, now goes through the prologue correctly. Game requires the EE timing hack to get rid of most of the noise (Path3 masking problem with new GIF unit, unfixable).
Expecting bugs, I will be monitoring this.

Also added a couple important global variables to be savestated (breaks old state compat).
