Cutie Chinese comments, they were removed in commit
21522e71b2
It's better to have google translated comments than nothing, at least we
have something to go on when doing future testing.
Also ghosting and blur crc hacks might need to be updated as they may
not be necessary on native res only.
List: GSC_Tekken5, GSC_TombRaiderUnderWorld, GSC_XE3, GSC_AceCombat4,
GSC_SoTC, GSC_ResidentEvil4.
Note: I left GSC_ValkyrieProfile2 in there because it might need to be
re enabled for dx, someday will look in to it when I'm up for the task.
This pull request is for the pending reorganization of the folder structure on GSdx,
making it better organized and easier to work with.
Also remove unused GSTextureFX.cpp file.
Enabled caching of clut copies with PaletteMap also in the case 8-bit texture is disabled, which is the default (on #2344 the caching of clut copies and palette textures was done only when 8-bit texture was enabled).
Brings moderate speedups ~10% in the most concitated parts of the ZoE2 Anubis benchmark, but may improve performance in all the cases when there are many Source objects created with clut copies to be stored.
The quality of the comments has been improved to better highlight the mechanics of the caching system.
Removed crc id 0x7D4EA48F and mentions of that id and it's duplicates. The id is from a multiloader when packing images, and not an actual crc id from a game(s).
This follows the 4th point of #2310.
The idea was to rework the current palette texture management to improve performances with games that uses multiple palettes for the same data texture.
The new management shows small to none performances improvement in almost every game in terms of FPS, and it lowers the GPU BUS usage by some percentage points in games like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (9% to 7%) which uses many palettes.
The hot topic is that the performances in Zone Of The Enders 2 skyrocketed (2x), because of the fact that the game uses many palettes and a small number of textures to render it's effects.

Some users get confused and change the setting to a recommended option.
This can cause some issues when switching different hw render types.
Most of the time users shouldn't change the option and leave it on
Automatic.
Also remove ICO from crc Aggressive tooltip.
Only impacts custom resolution, there used to be a much weaker algorithm
which doens't consider scissor sizes and gives a minor performance boost
in costs of accuracy (which was used when large framebuffer was disabled
in custom resolutions)
I've removed this as the performance tradeoff is rather negligible after
the implementation of #1942 and the older one is no longer necessary.
Also added an extra parameter for considering the horizontal scissor,
I'm not sure where this might be useful so this is disabled in code for
now till I discover a testcase where this helps or run it on random data
ensuring it's working properly.
Also porting this to the general scaling function might help with memory
spikes which are experienced when large framebuffer is enabled.
We can't do a full port because channel shuffle and depth sampling need
to be ported to d3d but at the very least we can do a partial port that
skips the bad draw calls.
This way we can remove all the remaining crc hacks for ICO in GSHwHacks.
This should make things a bit easier for users when picking resolutions.
Native (PS2)
2x Native (~720p)
3x Native (~1080p)
4x Native (~1440p 2K)
5x Native (~1620p 3K)
6x Native (~2160p 4K)
8x Native (~2880p 5K)
Custom (Not Recommended)
Change the code so that some crc hacks on some games that remove
ghosting/blur issues on upscaled resolutions are disabled on native
resolution if crc hack level is below Aggressive state (most of the time).
They aren't needed then so why don't we aim for better accuracy.
Follow up from #2586 which ensures that MAC address is unique on Xlink Kai when using Windows.
Previous build was returning last two bytes as 00:00 rather than last two bytes of host adapter's MAC.
Let's keep the file clean and use 1 type of formatting and not a bunch.
It's easier to read this way and looks tidy.
Also correct some commented out code in Texture Sampler.
Hack will no longer be active on Intel or AMD gpus.
Also remove UserHacks_disable_NV_hack. sprite hack
basically does the same thing so it's kinda useless.
Some values were incorrect, now I'm no expert but looking at the code
and behavior seemed a bit wrong compared to gl.
Improves d3d rendering on Sonic Unleashed, the purple screen is gone
matching it with gl visuals.
dfmt is not supported but we can use the variable to select the
frame buffer format and later disable writting to the alpha channel.
MGS3 sees an improvement, and possibly other games as well.
So far didn't spot any regressions.

Only native res is supported currently, but it's still great progress.
Someone needs to port the ScalingFactor to D3D from commit:
6121677aa1
Credits to KrossX for porting the shader.
Adjust gui accross various gui windows.
Adjust naming, positioning of buttons, spacing ...etc.
The different windows should look more similar and not be different.
Also purge IDD_XAUDIO2 window that wasn't used anywhere.
Add a missing crc id for the US version,
, move the crc to DX level - effect is emulated correctly on OpenGL with
depth,
merge the two Yakuza hacks together and reformat it making it easier to
be read.
Skip 3 also seems to work on Yakuza 2.

Reformat the code a bit, ocd satisfaction.
