Pcsx2 now has a gifUnit class which acts like the ps2's gif and executes a single gif transfer at a time (and performs path arbitration according to priority and path3 slicing).
This new code is generally a speedup for most games. Particularly VU heavy games like GoW.
This revision breaks old saved state compatibility so don't update if you wish to keep playing with your old saved states.
Leave comments if this revision fixes or breaks anything...
Message to GS Plugin authors:
This new code now uses only 1 gif callback to transfer data to the gs plugin (GSgifTransfer).
pcsx2 also is garaunteed to send full GS primitives to the plugin. So you don't have to account for partial-transfers anymore.
Thanks goes out to shadowlady who tested around 500 games for me :D
Note 1: The old gif code is still in this revision, and can be enabled by the USE_OLD_GIF macro. The old code will be deleted soon.
Note 2: This revision also enables assertion dialogs in devel builds, and changed a lot of assume cases into assertions.

* Convert IsoFileFormats.cpp into a class.
* Use wxFile and wxFileInputStream instead of windows/posix specific file functions.
* Added new ScopedAlloc classes, which are very simple dependency-free templates for exception-safe allocations.
* FastFormatString: Improved performance ad fixed an obscure bug.
* Drag&Drop (UI) - Improved the friendliness and responsiveness, so that PCSX2 doesn't end up tying up an explorer window while it prompts the user or issues error messages.
