Need to adjust GameDB entries for to remove ones no longer required, added EE Timing fix for SOCOM as that seems to fix it up like its sequel.
Some misc changes too which are inconsequential (mostly formatting)
- Arctic Thunder
- Evolution Snowboarding
- From Software First Previews
- Growlanser Generations
- ICO
- Major League Baseball 2K5
- Major League Baseball 2K10
- Musashiden II - Blademaster
- Musashi Samurai Legend
- NHL 2K5
- NHL 2K6
- NHL 2K7
- NHL 2K8
- NHL 2K9
- Virtua Fighter 4
-- Removed patches and other miscellaneous changes
Adding Forbidden Siren (PAL demo disc) as well as the Bonus Demo 8 (old) demo disc, which was included with an updated Network Disc.
NOTE: The "(old)" part is written verbatim on the disc.
Official Playstation Magazine - Demo Disc 40'entries, Official Playstation Magazine - Demo Disc 85, Singstar Boy Bands vs Girl Bands, Singstar Take That.
FULL clamping mode fix games where hack was used, so is no longer required.
This commit remove hack, adjust GameDB according to that change, and rename fpuFloat4 function to fpuFloat3.
Last change is because fpuFloat3 was just wrapper for fpuFloat4 with added check for compare hack.
Additionally fpuFloat2 was only function that called fpuFloat4 directly, so that one call was changed to fpuFloat3 to respect previous changes.
Jumps emulation to the initial state of an active input recording file whether boost or savestate. Makes it easier to reset savestate-based recordings.
* Overrides the Boot ISO/CDVD/Bios menu option.
Fix for Depth precision.
Game fills upper 16bits of depth with 0xFFFF.
This results in a really high 32 bit value which is then converted to float because both hw and sw renderers lack double precision the lower 16 bits of the initial 32 bit value lose precision.
I was expecting to add some more serials to SLUS (NTSC) but it seems to be more well maintained than the SLES (PAL). Most additions are demos but there are some normal full entries . Minor fixups on SLUS and other regions for names.

Dragons's lair
EETimingHack, VU0KickstartHack. Fixes hang and SPS.

* IPU: Perform an interrupt on IPU_CTRL Reset.
Doing this reset performs a forced command end, meaning the IPU will run through the procedure of ending any command running and telling the core that it is done, even if there is no command currently active.

Removed patches for Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkeban and Chamber of Secrets as they should no longer be required.
Note - Some harry potter games still have the EE Timing Fix which may also not be required
Overhauls the previous batch of changes and adds the latest changes. Changes include:
- Unification of terminology between all the strings.
- Changing quotation marks with the ones used in Spanish.
- Removal of some GT-like translations.
- Unification of parenthesis symbols.
- Removal of title uppercasing (Spanish language doesn't use that many uppercased words).
- Checked fuzzy entries.
Fix for terrible performance in US versions of Primal (all the time) and Ghosthunter (when encountering Teddy Bear and in the moment of Gator-Man's rush attack, maybe few other cases), Both games use shared code with pretty dumb wait loops in the microcode, those are absolutelly unnecessary and significantly kill performance on emulator.

Technicals:
SLES-54151 reads data from SLES-54153 to allow importing players. Same with the Japanese equivalents.
The above pairing in reverse allows importation of custom teams exported in 54151's VS mode. Again, same with the Japanese equivalents.
SLPM-66442 is listed in PCSX2 Wiki but not in GameIndex.
This patches some values in Powerdromes VU microprogram, which restores the 3d models of the characters.
The game uses the extended PS2 float range to do some culling calculations, so I have brung them down to be usable by x86, no other way to really fix this game.
Update all documentation for 1.6.
Source files for documentation are in md format and are kept in pcsx2\pcsx2\Docs, final exported/converted docs are in pdf format (Configuration_Guide and PCSX2_FAQ).
Update First time wizard to reflect recent documentation changes.
Update cmake to reflect recent documentation changes.
PO/POT/MO Localisation needs to be updated for the First time wizard to include the documentation changes.
NSIS installer needs to be updated to reflect the recent changes.

This commit adds VU rounding modes (Positive) to Asobo games (Disney-Pixar WALL-E, Disney-Pixar Toy Story 3) which produces small lines in game.
Also add missing PAL entries to DB for Disney-Pixar WALL-E.
This commit add a patch to solve a crash in the game "Fahrenheit".
Found with the help of the dev-9 plugin and the PS4 emu.
This is a game bug trigger by a timing issue. The game have an internal crash reporting system
which rely on a debug server connected to the console.
When the game do an error, it expects the debug server to be connected to send the crash dump.
But that never happen on PCSX2 as the debug server is not present.
Thus, the game will enter in an infinite loop at the asylum level.
This only happen when certain conditions are meet in the game.
This patch makes the game to exit the loop by cancelling the debug reporting.
On top of that the game have no frame pacing system in place which causes a massive slowdown in loading screens.
Thankfully, this can be patched out.
Note: NTSC version is fine and doesn't require the patch.

On earlier versions (0.9.8) the KOSMOS patches were used to fix an
emulator crash on bootup, the patches are no longer needed and cause an
emulator crash on OpenGL HW before a race begins.
The intro video patch skip also isn't needed anymore since intro video
is emulated properly. So far the only issue I spotted on earlier
versions such as 0.9.8 was fmv screen shaking.
