In the Turbo config dialog, remove the selection list for entering the
value and leave only the spin control. Allow values above 600%, up to
4000%.
Reintroduce the speedup_frame_skip config variable, defaulting to 9, use
it for turbo selection values > 600%, with speedup_throttle == 0.
The rationale for this is that on average modern hardware, throttle
values above 500% or 600% will not be effective.
The default is now shown as 1000%, which is:
frame_skip == 9 && speedup == 1,
where:
speedup == 1 is equivalent to throttle == 0,
as was the case before the turbo config changes.
Values above 600% are automatically rounded up or down to the nearest
100%, on entry and on click of the up/down arrows of the spin control.
The frame skip checkbox is cleared and disabled for the "Unlimited"
setting (throttle == 0), and set and disabled for values > 600%, to
reflect the mechanism to the user.
When the value again enters the modifiable range in the spin control,
the previous value of the checkbox is restored.
Misc:
- Turn off translation of percentage values in the xrc.
- Remove the size element for the throttle selection list in the general
config dialog xrc, it breaks the layout on GTK3.
- Add a note about passing wxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE to cmake to
select wxWidgets version to README.md.
Hopefully this will reduce confusion and present a nicer UI.

Use codesign --deep to sign the .app before signing all the frameworks,
otherwise codesign will refuse to sign the app due to unsigned dylibs
when not making a static build.
The error is:
./visualboyadvance-m.app: code object is not signed at all

Create and enable auto-updater for MacOS using `Sparkle=1.23`. We need
to sign our app using an `Apple Developer Key` for it to work properly,
since we are not going to sign updates with the Sparkle key.
Add all auto-updater files to `gettext`'s pot.
Use `str_split` to always get related stable version. We do not want
to check for nightly builds.
For Windows, we create the flag `-DHTTPS` to select between using an
HTTPS or HTTP URL for the auto-updater checks. We use this to keep
support for Windows XP (HTTP only) while all others should be HTTPS.
Also, use `::FreeLibrary` to allow us to remove the temporary file
that stores the `WinSparkle.dll`. Previously, we could not get it to
work with `wine`.
We upgrade only the first listed package to upgrade for vcpkg to not
overrun the CI time limit.
Sometimes these packages are up-to-date but are listed for rebuild due
to depending on other packages that would be upgraded.
Find the first package in the upgrade list that is not up-to-date and
use that as the package to upgrade.

Add support for non-GameController SDL Joysticks.
Add proxy class wxSDLJoyDev to support using either SDL_GameController*
or SDL_Joystick* values in joystate.dev.
Add pretty much identical SDL code to support SDL_Joystick* when the
device cannot be opened as an SDL_GameController*, without changing the
API. SDL_Joystick* devices operate almost identically to SDL_Controller*
devices with their own default mappings, for both events and polling.
Filter axis motion events in the bindings editor widget for subsequent
events within 300ms. This gets rid of the double binding for +1/-1 when
the stick is moved to a direction.

Add ui/hideMenuBar boolean option, defaulting to on, which hides the
main menubar when the mouse is idle or outside the frame.
This is disabled on mac, because on macs the main menubar is not part of

When toggling "retain aspect ratio", destroy the drawing panel so it is
recreated with the desired aspect ratio settings.
Only add the vertical spacers when aspect ratio is on, they are not
needed when it's off.
Set the sizer priority of the DrawingPanel to 1 if aspect ratio is off
so that wxEXPAND always works.
Clear the GameArea sizer when attaching a new DrawingPanel, this is so
that the vertical spacers used when aspect ratio is on are not included
when aspect ratio is off.

We have some issues when trying to open files on Windows that contains
characters not included in the current codepage. Using `fopen` fails
when that happens.
One example is using the `pt_BR` codepage and then using a name with
japanese chars for the battery file.
The games and BIOS work since they use `blargg_open`. It converts a
`const char *` to `const wchat_t *` and uses `_wfopen` for windows.
(doing a multibyte to widechar conversion)
Since we want to avoid doing many code changes on our cores, we need
some `util*` functions for the matter.
Replace `mb_fn_str` by UTF-8 strings.
Replace all occurrences of `fopen` for `utilOpenFile` on GBA core.
Replace all occurrences of `fopen` for `utilOpenFile` on GBA e-reader.
Adjust e-readers calls on wx frontend.
Replace all occurrences of `fopen` for `utilOpenFile` on Patcher files.
Always apply UTF-8 when dealing with path strings.
On our wx frontend we should always send UTF-8 `char *` to our cores
functions. This way we can have consistency when dealing with them for
each platform.
On Windows, we will convert all multibyte to wide chars and use proper
functions for I/O operation.
Create function to deal with unicode calls of `gzopen`.
We use `gzopen_w` (`zlib>=1.27`).
Replace all occurrences of `fopen` for `utilOpenFile` on Config Manager.
Replace all occurrences of `fopen` for `utilOpenFile` on Cheat files.
Use proper functions for unicode on GB core.
Use function instead of macro for `UTF8()`.
Use `nullptr` instead of `NULL`.
Print wide char strings on status bar.
Fix throttle=0 (unlimited speed) settings for both the Speedup/Turbo
config panel and the general throttle setting and make 100 the default.
Replace the speedup frame skip option with a "Frame skip" checkbox,
which enables skipping the appropriate number of frames if vsync or very
low system performance is in effect. The systemFrameSkip (under video
config) is added to this value.
With speedup_throttle=100, the old speedup behavior is used with 9
frames skipped.
With speedup_throttle == 0 && speedup_throttle_frame_skip, skip 9
frames at full speed, which is exactly the same as the old behavior,
since throttle == 0 is equivalent to speedup == true.
Hopefully these changes will make the turbo config dialog more useful
for users, by default frame skipping to work around vsync will be
enabled, and users can uncheck the "Frame skip" checkbox for a smoother
experience.

Since they share the filter function, but can change one from another
(setting on the GBA would apply to GB and vice-versa), we allow only
the proper setting to be toggled while a ROM is loaded.
If GB ROM, then `Options` > `Game Boy` > `LCD Filter` is enabled.
Likewise for GBA. If neither, then no option is enabled.
When we skip frames, we just don't draw them on our frontend. The
function `systemDrawScreen` also send the video frames to be recorded,
but only when called from the core.
Our solution creates a auxiliary `systemSendScreen` that only adds the
frame to the recording. It is called when the core decides to skip a
frame. This way we can get the video frame for recording, just like
audio ones are always sent.
The flag `wxST_NO_AUTORESIZE` does not behave well on our viewers. They
were being hidden due to not fitting the text box available.
On Windows, they were working as expected. It is unknown on MacOs.
XRC error: 131: vertical alignment flag `wxALIGN_BOTTOM` has no effect
inside a vertical box sizer, remove it and consider inserting a spacer
instead.

We already had `optFlashSize` for both SDL and WX ports. We assigned
this variable to replace all ocurrences of `winFlashSize`.
As a side note, this entire scope could/should be replaced by a better
auto-detect system for saving types. At the moment, it is only really
useful for the SDL port, since we have overrides for the WX port.

We offer a way to control the color saturation for GBA games such as
Fire Emblem Tactics Advance.
It will be enabled by default for GBA games and disabled for GB.
The user will be able to toggle both of them and these options
will be persistent by saving to `vbam.ini`.

Add a ZIP_SUFFIX option defaulting to "" that is added to the generated
.zip file with UPSTREAM_RELEASE before the .zip extension.
For example, for an experimental feature you could pass
-DZIP_SUFFIX=-timer_loop and the resulting .zip file would be
visualboyadvance-m-Win-64bit-timer_loop.zip or
visualboyadvance-m-Win-64bit-debug-timer_loop.zip for a debug build.
Also add a modeline to this cmake file because vim-sleuth always gets
the settings wrong. Or it could be the cmake filetype plugins.

For the netlink dialog, leave the server IP text field enabled when the
server radio button is selected and bind it to the new option
gopts.server_ip which defaults to "*" for binding on all addresses,
which was the previous behavior.
Copy this value to the new GBALink global IP_LINK_BIND_ADDRESS and use
it when creating a listening socket.
SFML supports creating sf:IpAddress values from hostnames, consequently
no additional code is needed to support hostnames in the netlink dialog.
Change GetLinkServerHost to return the primary local address when the
value is "*", which was the previous behavior, and the set value
otherwise.
Remove the min/max macros from GBALink as they are unnecessary and
conflict with std headers.
Require at least SFML 2.4 instead of 2.x for the IP binding
functionality in cmake.
