Fixes a crash that could occur if the static constructor function for
the MainSettings.cpp TU happened to run before the variables in
Common/Version.cpp are initialised. (This is known as the static
initialisation order fiasco.)
By using wrapper functions, those variables are now guaranteed to be
constructed on first use.

This also includes another change: DolphinQt will now exit with an
error if you use --batch without specifying a game using any method
(unlike in the past where --batch would be ignored if you didn't
specify a game using --exec, even if you had used --nand-title).
The main reason why I did this was because coding the alternative
(ignoring --batch) would be annoying with render to main involved.
Currently, a simple typo in the system name will trigger an assert
message that complains about a "programming error". This is not
user friendly and misleading.
So this changes GetSystemFromName to return an std::optional, which
allows for callers to check whether the system exists and handle
failures better.
Manually convert each argument to a UTF-8 std::string, because the
implicit conversion for wxCmdLineArgsArray to char** calls ToAscii
(which is obviously undesired).

Originally, Layer contained a std::map of Sections, which containted a std::map
containing the (key, value) pairs. Here we flattern this structure so that only
one std::map is required, reducing the number of indirections required and
vastly simplifying the code.
Ideally Common.h wouldn't be a header in the Common library, and instead be renamed to something else, like PlatformCompatibility.h or something, but even then, there's still some things in the header that don't really fall under that label
This moves the version strings out to their own version header that doesn't dump a bunch of other unrelated things into scope, like what Common.h was doing.
This also places them into the Common namespace, as opposed to letting them sit in the global namespace.
