This PR brings some patches to fix various unplayable games (made by Prafull).
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.

Known to fix the issue for the following serials: SLES-51887, SLUS-21877, SLES-52509, SLES-54253, SLUS-21483, SLUS-21002
Presumed to also fix the issue for serials(known to suffer from the exact same issue and use the same engine as the other games, so the fix should be the same): SLUS-20757, SLES-53541, SLUS-21264, SLUS-21646, SLUS-21772, SLPM-66191, SLES-54253, SLPM-66674
This reverts commit 07d54587 except for the updates of SCUS-97150 (Formula
One 2001 NTSC-U) - where we have a record of compatibility 5, and also
there's an agreement that the patch is not required anymore since ad61503 .
The reverted compatibility values are because we don't have any kind of
records to support them, no one tested them, and they also don't appear at
our online compatibility list.
MemCardFilter for Grandia III NTSC-U Disc 2 was applied to the wrong
game. The serials for Disc 1 and 2 are SLUS-21334 and SLUS-21345,
respectively - I assume someone fatfingered when issuing the serials.
