Slowing down the emulator would artificially improve reaction times and is therefore disallowed in hardcore mode. Speeds faster than 1x are allowed, but any speed below 1x is scaled back up to 1x.
In theory, our config system supports calling Set from any thread. But
because we have config callbacks that call RunAsCPUThread, it's a lot
more restricted in practice. Calling Set from any thread other than the
host thread or the CPU thread is formally thread unsafe, and calling Set
on the host thread while the CPU thread is showing a panic alert causes
a deadlock. This is especially a problem because 04072f0 made the
"Ignore for this session" button in panic alerts call Set.
Because so many of our config callbacks want their code to run on the
CPU thread, I thought it would make sense to have a centralized way to
move execution to the CPU thread for config callbacks. To solve the
deadlock problem, this new way is non-blocking. This means that threads
other than the CPU thread might continue executing before the CPU thread
is informed of the new config, but I don't think there's any problem
with that.
Intends to fix https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13108.
When faced with this error, users often don't try disabling dual core,
even though the error message suggests it. Perhaps the message is just
too long and lists too many things?
To try to improve the situation, I'm rewording the message and making it
say different things depending on what settings you are using.

C++17 allows omitting the mutex type, which makes for both less reading
and more flexibility (e.g. The mutex type can change and all occurrences
don't need to be updated).
Since all queues are FIFO data structures, the name wasn't informative
as to why you'd use it over a normal queue. I originally thought it had
something to do with the hardware graphics FIFO.
This renames it using the common acronym SPSC, which stands for
single-producer single-consumer, and is most commonly used to talk about
lock-free data structures, both of which this is.
This is only ever queried and not set outside of the Core.cpp, so this
should just be hidden internally and just have a function exposed that
allows querying it.
The min-heap provides no ordering when the key is the same on 2
nodes. Disambiguate identical times by tracking the order items
were added into the queue.
