And associated cleanup.
On most compilers these days, it'll either inline the memset with vector
fills or rep stosq, or outline with a call to memset.
I trust the compiler is probably going to make a better decision here,
than manual SSE intrinsics.
Ends up a couple of percent faster in FMV decoding.
Set UTF-8 source file format globally.
Set permissive/compliance mode globally.
Get rid of include of base 3rdparty directory, be explicit.
Get rid of duplicated properties.
Get rid of leftover plugin property files.
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)
-Fixes other Chessmaster hang.
-having it say it has data really quickly if the data incoming was huge seemed to throw it off. I suspect it may actually be the time it takes to fill 16qw (or whatever is incoming if lower) is the wait time but it seems rather happy with the incoming data size.
Everblue: Slightly messy fix, not as nice as id hope, but it seems to work, we need to remember VU programs written to the VU so we can check if an unpack is modifying it. This retains the behaviour of the Snowblind engines whilst fixing everblue.
Hitman 2: Our vif0/1VUFinish() routing which works in conjunction with the delays wasn't paying attention to if the VIF was stalled or not and reran it before the game wanted it to, now fixed.

Path3 Masking: Fixed a bug which caused persona 3 not to boot, previous a hack had been put in place to get around this.
VIF: Fixed a VIF error with the rare game Realta Nua, now goes through the prologue correctly. Game requires the EE timing hack to get rid of most of the noise (Path3 masking problem with new GIF unit, unfixable).
Expecting bugs, I will be monitoring this.

Also added a couple important global variables to be savestated (breaks old state compat).

Threading VU1 took a lot of rewrites and new code to make possible (MTGS, microVU, gifUnit...), but we finally got to the point where it was feasible, and now we've done it! (so now everyone can stop complaining that pcsx2 only takes advantages of 2 cores :p).
The speedups in the games that benefit from it are great if you have a cpu with 3+ cores (generally a 10~45% speedup), however games that are GS limited can be a slowdown (especially on dual core cpu's).
The option can be found in the speedhacks section as "MTVU (Multi-Threaded microVU1)". And when enabled it should should show the VU thread-time percentage on the title bar window (Like we currently do for EE/GS/UI threads).
It is listed as a speedhack because in order for threading VU1 to have been a speedup, we need to assume that games will not send gif packets containing Signal/Finish/Label commands from path 1 (vu1's xgkick). The good news is very-few games ever do this, so the compatibility of MTVU is very high (a game that does do this will likely hang).
Note: vs2010 builds and Linux builds need to be updated to include "MTVU.h" and "MTVU.cpp".

some bits were kept for reference and should be deleted in the future (along with the entire GIFpath.cpp)

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.

For future reference:
Clearing registers on VIF reset = bad! That operation is designed to stop VIF Processing its current data, nothing more.
More importantly it causes me a great headache as it took me 2 days to find this >.<

Cleaned up Gifdma a little, removing duplicate code. Disabled a few console writes we dont nee really.

* All remaining code for handling partial/fragmented unpacks removed.
* vifRegs.NUM is now accurately simulated when queuing data from fragmented unpacks.
* Reduced the VIFunpack fragment buffer from 1MB to 4KB (max size of an unpack due to NUM being limited to 8 bits).
* Removed vif/vifRegs globals formally used by VIF interpreters (everything relies on the templated vifIdx now -- simpler and faster!)
* g_vifMask vars are integrated into vifStruct.
* All VIF mask register stuff uses the SSE-friendly vifStruct.MaskRow/Col vars now.

* Writes via 16 and 8 bit ops now use 32-bit read/modify/write operations by default; which should enable nearly complete support for all such operations (instead of the formerly spotty coverage before).
* Eliminated almost all former 8/16-bit specific register operations. All code shares the same 32 bit handlers now.
* Completely revamped the developer trace logs for hardware registers! *ALL* registers are logged now, complete with address, name, and value being read/written (and nicely formatted!).
* Handlers are now fully page-based using templated functions (minor speedup)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3704 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added __fi and __ri, which are abbreviations for __forceinline and __releaseinline.
* Added some static qualifiers to functions in mVU, MMI ops, and others where appropriate.
* Removed some unnecessary __fastcall qualifiers (since GCC gets funny sometimes when you combine __fastcall and inlining).
* Made _1mb, _16mb, _1gb values common to all emulation code (moved from newVif/mvu to Common.h) -- they're useful! :)

Games
- Resident Evil Dead Aim flickering graphics fixed.
- Flatout games should now boot everytime (instead of randomly)
- Sega Superstar Tennis flashing fixed
- Destruction Derby graphics fixed (NTSC confirmed, PAL unsure)
- Tenchu Fatal Shadows flickering textures fixed, Issue 748
- Spyro Hero's Tail should boot again, Issue 746
General Info
- General reworking of the GS paths with all paths prioritizing more correctly.
- XGKICK can stall if another GS transfer is in progress
- Major reworking of Path3 masking, could still be combined with normal Path3 transfers, but lets get it working first :P
- Taken in to account a few conditions which could have caused VIF to lock up/crash when stalling on ends.
- Unreversed GIF and SPR and VIF so its the normal way round
- all DMA paths should now resume correctly after being stopped by hardware
- GIF FIFO now actually transfers stuff :P
- VIF CMD's simulated by the length of the interrupts at the end.
Phew, i think that's everything :S
