Idea is to allow Alpha Stencil to work with Fast Date.
Let Fast Date run for the supported calls since it's more accurate, let
Alpha Stencil take care of the rest.
This might fix some issues where Alpha Stencil caused some issues making
it a bit more accurate.
It fixes a bunch of shadow/transparency issues.
Fast DATE doesn't rely on the gui option and is always on.
Confirmed fixed issues: Persona 3 shadows on d3d11,
Digital Devil Saga Transparency d3d9/11.
Fast accurate date works the same/similar to OpenGL.
Confirmed fixed issues: DBZ BT3 ground shadows, Fifa Street 1 shadows
on all d3d renders as well.
Also this option doesn't cause other transparency issues like the
Alpha Stencil hack.
Note: If Alpha Stencil is enabled Fast Date and Fast Accurate Date will
be disabled.
Note2: Full Accurate Date is not implemented so the code fallbacks to
Fast mode instead.

This will probably be the last feature d3d9 gets before getting purged.
Move Enable User Hacks at the top. Otherwise spacing looks weird.
Large Framebuffer should be next to Allow 8 bit textures.
Move Accurate Date and Accurate Blending at the bottom (similar to windows).
Suggested by Gregory.
Change the checkbox to a drop down list Off, Fast, Full.
Off and Full do the same as before, the Fast option is new. Most of the
time users don't actually need full Accurate Date so why not reduce that
cost and use a fast mode instead, plus it can also be used on a gpu with
a limited driver. Also change the default value to Fast instead of Off.
Always enable unscale point and line hack on upscaled resolutions, and
purge the gui option.
It was discussed in the past with Gregoy that it can be enabled without
causing any issues which will be beneficial to getting rid of 1 less
option and fixing a bunch of fmv issues without relying on a gui toggle.
Fix GSVector4i::compare64 function by adjusting the number of iterations
needed to cover the comparison of all the elements of the input arrays,
where the number of bytes to compare is indicated in the size parameter
of the function.
The function is used only in GSdx-TC to compare CLUT arrays.
On one hand this fix closes the recent #2706 and possibly the color
regressions indicated in #2702 (which were both introduced with the new
PaletteMap mechanism, which partially replaced the GSVector4i::update
logic with the bugged GSVector4i::compare64).
On the other hand this might impact long standing wrong texture cache
lookup when palette was involved with 8-bit palette disabled (to be
verified which ones).

Fixes right half screen issue on TalesOfLegendia. UI elements of the
screen are properly emulated with depth emulation on gl (possibly fixed
by
1cc696ab31).
Shadows will be glitchy if crc hack level is below partial level.
I'm not even sure if the hack is useful at all anymore since it
introduces issues now.
Issue #2692
The code was never working properly ( tested by @tadanokojin ) so let's
clean up and remove it. If someone actually wishes to maintain it then
they can re add it and update the code to a functional stage.
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.
