This matches BootManager.cpp's old behavior.
Note: The other settings of the "Controls" section (WiimoteSource
and WiimoteSourceBB) are still handled in BootManager.cpp.
The "DSP" game INI section name was supported by BootManager.cpp
before the section was ported to the new config system.
For backwards compatibility, we should keep supporting it.

When I added the software FMA path in 2c38d64 and made us use
it when determinism is enabled, I was assuming that either the
performance impact of software FMA wouldn't be too large or CPUs
that were too old to have FMA instructions were too slow to run
Dolphin well anyway. This was wrong. To give an example, the
netplay performance went from 60 FPS to 30 FPS in one case.
This change makes netplay clients negotiate whether FMA should
be used. If all clients use an x64 CPU that supports FMA, or
AArch64, then FMA is enabled, and otherwise FMA is disabled.
In other words, we sacrifice accuracy if needed to avoid massive
slowdown, but not otherwise. When not using netplay, whether to
enable FMA is simply based on whether the host CPU supports it.
The only remaining case where the software FMA path gets used
under normal circumstances is when an input recording is created
on a CPU with FMA support and then played back on a CPU without.
This is not an especially common scenario (though it can happen),
and TASers are generally less picky about performance and more
picky about accuracy than other users anyway.
With this change, FMA desyncs are avoided between AArch64 and
modern x64 CPUs (unlike before 2c38d64), but we do get FMA
desyncs between AArch64 and old x64 CPUs (like before 2c38d64).
This desync can be avoided by adding a non-FMA path to JitArm64 as
an option, which I will wait with for another pull request so that
we can get the performance regression fixed as quickly as possible.

Most settings which affect determinism will now be synced on NetPlay.
Additionally, there's a strict sync mode which will sync various
enhancements to prevent desync in games that use EFB reads.
This also adds a check for all players having the IPL.bin file, and
doesn't load it for anyone if someone is missing it. This prevents
desyncs caused by mismatched system fonts.
Additionally, the NetPlay window was getting too wide with checkboxes,
so FlowLayout has been introduced to make the checkboxes take up
multiple rows dynamically. However, there's some minor vertical
centering issues I haven't been able to solve, but it's better than a
ridiculously wide window.
There are two reasons for this change:
1. It removes many repetitive lines of code.
2. I think it's a good idea to enable the use of old-style section
names even for settings that previously haven't been settable in game
INIs. Mixing the two styles in INIs (using the new style only for new
settings) is not ideal, and people on the forums don't even seem to
know that the new style exists (nobody knew a way to set ubershader
settings per game, for instance). Encouraging everyone to start using
only the new style might work long-term, but it would take take time
and effort to make everyone get used to it. Considering that this commit
*reduces* the amount of code by adding the ability to use old-style
names for more settings, I'd say that adding this ability is worth it.
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.
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.
This reverts commit 1fc910b3ea,
replacing the old INI setting EFBScale with a new INI setting
called InternalResolution, which has a simpler mapping:
| EFBScale | InternalResolution
----------------- | -------------------- | --------------------
Auto (fractional) | 0 |
Auto (integral) | 1 | 0
1x | 2 | 1
1.5x | 3 |
2x | 4 | 2
2.5x | 5 |
3x | 6 | 3
4x | 7 | 4
5x | 8 | 5
6x | 9 | 6
All the fractional IRs were removed in f090a943.
Settings that come from the SYSCONF are now included in Dolphin's
config system as part of the base layer. They are handled in a
special way compared to other settings to make sure they are only
loaded from and saved to the SYSCONF (to avoid different, possibly
contradicting sources of truth).
