* Only a single VAO
=> Format is set once
=> Only a single bind at startup
=> GSVertexBufferStateOGL is nearly useless
=> barely faster but better than nothing :)
Reformatted fx files that were causing issues on certain text editors. They should now display correctly in those editors.

Also removed the fallback recovery ps, and replaced the compile fail catch to a simple console print. Which I think is safer, and faster.

* properly detect gl nv depth extension
* Always show the hack on the gui. Add a new hack option for DATE (gl4.2) only
* Save the scan mode on linux too (f7)
* hopefully fix some crash on some drivers... (ensure aligment 256 bits alignment, and if not use std memcpy)

Best setting if you driver support GL_NV_depth_buffer_float => GL_NV_Depth = 1 & logz = 0
Otherwise => GL_NV_Depth = 0 & logz = 1
Explanation of the bug:
Dx z position ranges from 0.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)
GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)
Why it sucks:
GS small depth value will be "mapped" to -1.0f. In others all small values will be 1.0f! Terrible lost
of accuraccy.
The GL_NV_depth_buffer_float extension allow to set the near plane as -1.0f.
So
"GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)"
will become
"GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges -1.0f to 1.0f)"
and therefore
"z posision [0.0f;1.0f] will map to FS [0.0f;1.0f]" as DX
Yes we just get back all precision lost previously :)
However you need hardware (intel?) and driver support (free driver?/gles?) :(

* restore the old fxaa (Asmodeam will be integrated when I got time)
* port the recently added new scanline algo
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5818 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Add another scanline algorithm, made by pseudonym. This one is pretty fancy, using a cosinus function for generating the dark lines.
It only works on unscaled output, so use software rendering or native resolution for hardware.
It's an effect that works best on 240p converted games (like the SNES titles in Mega Man Collection).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5812 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Finish up my scanlines attempt. Now the 2 old shaders are back in and all 3 cycle on F7.

- FXAA shader replaced by Asmodeans shader suite 'PCSX2 Fx 2.00 Revised'.
This is an entire enhancement suite with many configurable options like FXAA, texture sharpening
or lighting tweaks. Some of the effects are pretty advanced so kudos to him allowing it to be integrated with GSdx! :)
Note that there's no interface for the tweaks yet. Until those are done, the defaults will be used.

- Disabled an option from the widescreen patches for SH:Shattered Memories.

Added a simple scanlines filter (2nd one activated by F7). No tweaking done yet.
It shows how to get scanlines that aren't affected by input resolution or scaling.
A good next step would be determining the exact number of dark lines to show :)

* try to use more subroutine on VS&PS, unfortunately hit a driver crash!
* Call Attach/DetachContext through GSDevice so I can unmap currently mapped buffer
* Implement glsl part of GL_ARB_bindless texture, again hit another driver crash!
* various fix of GL_ARB_buffer_storage. Basic benchmark show only improvement on 'cold' case, I guess it will improve smoothness
* try to fix GL_clear_texture, no success so far. It seem the extension is limited to basic texture (aka no depth/stencil)

* GL_ARB_shader_subroutine for perf
fix for nvidia => add missing shader declaration. Nvidia got +4fps on colin3 :)
For the moment only 2 PS parameters are supported. Code need to be extended to support others games that often
switch shader program (like xenosaga).
require GL4 class hardware and the option override_GL_ARB_shader_subroutine = 1
Note: strangely on AMD linux it is slower!
* GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store for accuraccy (Date)
Use a signed integer texture and reenable color buffer writing
Current status: Amagami_transparency.gs & P3_battle_shadows.gs are now working on Nvidia with a small perf impact.
Current implementation detail:
1/ setup the standard stencil as before
2/ on remaining pixel, draw once to compute first primitive that will write a fail alpha value.
3/ final draw based on primitive id of step 2
Note: I think we would get a bad behavior if depth test&mask are enabled on step 2/3
Note2: on my limited testcase the perf impact was on CPU. It would be possible to merge step1&2 to nullifying it (could
even be faster actually), however it would require more GPU power.
Again require GL4 class hardware. And the option UserHacks_DateGL4 = 1

* some preliminary work to test/benchmark bindless texture in the future (glsl was not yet updated)
Bindless texture allow to get a GPU texture pointer and then set it directly
to the shader as a basic uniform.
=> no more texture unit selection/validation
=> no more texture validation neither texture hash lookup
3rdparty: update gl header to the latest gl4.4

Card that support gs:
remain only a gs to generate sprite from a line. Even dummy gs are costly for the GPU.
Card that don't support gs:
remove useless copy of color for line and triangle primitives
Note for dx: opengl 3.2 (maybe not gles) supports both flat interpolation
convention (GL_FIRST_VERTEX_CONVENTION or GL_LAST_VERTEX_CONVENTION). It might
be possible to shuffle vertex index to put the last vertex in first position.
