This commit adds VU rounding modes (Positive) to Asobo games (Disney-Pixar WALL-E, Disney-Pixar Toy Story 3) which produces small lines in game.
Also add missing PAL entries to DB for Disney-Pixar WALL-E.
This commit add a patch to solve a crash in the game "Fahrenheit".
Found with the help of the dev-9 plugin and the PS4 emu.
This is a game bug trigger by a timing issue. The game have an internal crash reporting system
which rely on a debug server connected to the console.
When the game do an error, it expects the debug server to be connected to send the crash dump.
But that never happen on PCSX2 as the debug server is not present.
Thus, the game will enter in an infinite loop at the asylum level.
This only happen when certain conditions are meet in the game.
This patch makes the game to exit the loop by cancelling the debug reporting.
On top of that the game have no frame pacing system in place which causes a massive slowdown in loading screens.
Thankfully, this can be patched out.
Note: NTSC version is fine and doesn't require the patch.
Tested by atomic83github
On earlier versions (0.9.8) the KOSMOS patches were used to fix an
emulator crash on bootup, the patches are no longer needed and cause an
emulator crash on OpenGL HW before a race begins.
The intro video patch skip also isn't needed anymore since intro video
is emulated properly. So far the only issue I spotted on earlier
versions such as 0.9.8 was fmv screen shaking.

It also adds comments for Savage skies to warn users to use the interpreter + cache, a missing rounding fix for some versions of Shin Megami Tensei 3, and an Emotion Engine timing fix for NBA Shootout 2003 (tested by someother1ne).
This isn't the right fix for this game, the text issue is caused due to a bug on GSdx depth test, and is not a
core issue. These rounding modes for some reason only partially alleviate the issue (https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-GSDX-Software-mode-Bug-Report-Teen-Titans-Load-Game-menu-not-displaying-text-where-it-should)
while not fully fixing it, ZeroGS on the other hand doesn't have this issue even without these rounding mode changes.
TL;DR - Issue is on GS, and it's troublesome when a GS issue is masked like this.
