We are removing MSAA for the following reasons:
1. It's broken
2. Fixing it would mean it would perform as well as FSAA, which defeats the purpose of having it
3. It's only supported by DX and Windows
4. Reduction in code complexity

Idea is to disable multiple features in 1 option to avoid gui clutter.
Unscale Point and Line:
This partially reverts PR #2710 restoring Unscale Point and Line but as a disable option.
It can help Xenosaga games.
GS Memory clearning:
This disables GS memory clearing to be done on the CPU, by default both gpu and cpu do memory clearing
which is more accurate.
It can help Kingdom Hearts games.
And the time has come to say good bye (good riddance?), this build removes Direct3D9 entirely from GSdx. D3D9 is/was holding us back in some D3D11 fixes that we want to further implement.
The last build that supports D3D9 is v1.5.0-dev-2779-g1a61148b0 for anyone still interested.

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.
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.
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.
