This commit might fix some issues when colors were drawn slightly wrong in the DX plugins but correct in OpenGL. So please test this ;)
Thanks to Billiard for spotting.

still experimental, not totally optimized but must bring a nice speed up
please test for regressions an error. an please Linux people fix scons :)

use plain vertex arrays instead of VBOs to render in Opengl plugin as the nature of the data make VBOs slower. This must bring, depending on the implementation, a good speedup in opengl.
in my system now opengl and d3d9 have a difference of 1 to 5 fps depending of the game.
some cleanup and a little work pointing to future improvements in the way of rendering.
please test and check for any errors.

Really that happens because the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative.
Example: CPReadWriteDistance: -864 CPEnd: 10092672 fifo.CPBase: 9568416
In SMG this is because PI_FIFO_RESET is writing and after fifo.CPReadWriteDistance will be setted to 0.
To Prevent that, I've Implemented AbortFrame function in the CommmandProcessor. It should fix overflown because of that.
Note: There is other issue (Issue 2846) where the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative too but the effect is different.
I'm working to solve this.

Remove a member variable which I introduced in r5907 although it never actually got used. Restores binary compatibility (at least in that regard) to pre-r5907 video plugins, but breaks any binaries after that :P
Update FIFO watermark tightness recommendations. 1000 is quite a high value I guess, but some people seem to need it.

The code changes disable the usual pipeline flush for certain BP Writes that occur while the minimap is being drawn in Zelda: twilight princess. This significantly increases speed while in hyrule field. The way this is accomplished is described more in depth on page 42 of Xtreme's thread. Big thanks to Xtreme for doing a great job hosting that thread, and Kiesel-stein for initial work on the hack
Also, I used the resource editor in Visual studio to generate the GUI code for the DX11 plugin, and some code appeared to be removed, although the behavior of the GUI did not seem to change. Hopefully someone more experienced with resource files (forms?) can double check that no code was damaged

(those originating from a thread other than the gpu thread)
glxMakeCurrent is supposed to error out when the context is
still current in another thread. NVIDIA handles that, but mesa3d errors.

Also added a DSPCORE_STOP state. The DSP-LLE debugger window segmentation faults if it is openned when a game is not running.

- fix numerous warnings
- make some variables unsigned
- remove redundant code and header inclusions
- make code more compact in lots of cases
Committing some additional changes by myself:
- additional header cleanups
- cleanup DX11 initialization/shutdown process (hinted at by avindra)
- Remove the cgD3D9 stuff from Externals since it's no longer needed
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5903 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
- Eliminate the useless check for cpu modifications option from efb to ram as it must be enabled always
- use constant names in dx11 for buffer length calculation instead to simplify code reading
- implemented scaled efb copy in opengl, still bugy in some games, the option is not in the gui but will add it when it works perfect
- Change the depth calculation behavior:
if the game use z textures is exactly the same as before.
if the game do not use z texture calculate z values in the vertex shader. the advantage id this approach is that early z culling is applied,
improving fill rate. this mus speed up things, even with ssaa and msaa enabled.
please test for regression and enjoy.

Use linear filtering for various buffer copies, improves visual quality a lot.
Some other tiny changes as well.

Dynamically load a d3dx9 dll at runtime (I tested Dolphin with the first d3dx9 dll and it even worked fine there).
Should fix the flood of users asking why they can't select the DX9 plugin :P
Compilers should be able to stop bundling cgD3D9.dll now.
Minor changes in DX11.

Also two little changes which don't affect functionality or performance:
Change an IUnknown* cast to a T* cast.
Improve some error messages.

using it as a constant in several places. Saves a few bytes and the time
it takes to recompile a bunch of files whenever svnversion twitches.
Using the SVN version string as an integer is not portable as the Unix
svnversion always includes e.g. the "M" suffix for a modified tree.
Windows people, please check my change to Plugin_VideoDX9/Src/main.cpp
as I don't really understand how _T() and the %hs format string work.

i made this changes trying to found the origin of the sps in zww and sms but no look so far.
the code is looking nice so commit it

return to the old values in constants in pixelshader, the old values give mi 3 or 4 fps more,(maybe some kind of compiler optimization) in some games and with the current algorithm i notice no difference with this values, please report any problem.
optimizes SSAA to make it a little faster and, the quality should be the same but with a little speedup.
change the way the frame is processed depending is xfb is enabled or not to make this a little faster.
please test and report any problem

1 - Optimize pixelshadergen to avoid redundant register overflow math, with this if a game don't need this will be not applied.
this must bring some fill rate back and improve speed a little in fill rate limited systems.
2- some corrections to vertexshadergen to avoid uninitialized texture coordinates, dono if is the correct way to fix it but t least it will make house of the dead overkill playable in dx11.
the bad thing: still missing geometri in dx9, in dx11 it works exactly as on opengl.
3 - some optimization made to improve fps a little wih the latests changes made to fifo.
* back to the original code in beginfield as now it will work right.
* check for efb access more often as a lot of time is lost waiting for efb access
4 - apply a little fix for missing textures in nvidia opengl tanks to Wagnard28 for finding that nvidia does not like invalid shader id :)
please test for any regression

Dual Core sync fix.
When the FIFO is processing data we must not advance the cpu cycles in CoreTiming because in this way the VI will be desynchronized. So, We are waiting until the FIFO finish and while we process only the events required by the FIFO.
This should fix Issue 2072 .
This affect to all games in dual core mode.
Please, You can test all games with VPS limiter auto, 60, 50 depending of the game and compare with prev revision.
For example now NSMB in the video Intro has 60 fps (prev 30 fps) :D or SMG does't need anymore FPS Limitter Hack to get 55-60 fps
Beside the slowdowns now are more softly and the fps more stables because the VI sync is almost perfect.
The Core Timing and Fifo modifications are delicated. Please report if this hang any game. Don't forget check with prev revision.
Enjoy it! Thanks to Rodolfo for teach me all about dolphin.

Cleanups, documentation, ...
Theoretically enable anisotropic filtering if selected in the config, not sure if it works though.

Make font rendering a lot prettier.
Fix constant buffers in EmuGfxState::ApplyState() to really have a size which is a multiple of 16 instead of 65536.

Remove superfluous _WIN32 checks in DX11 and DX9. Meant to port that code over to Linux or what? :P

Fix all remaining window resizing issues.
Implement screenshot functionality (doesn't seem to work completely, yet).
Assign debug names to (hopefully) all remaining device objects.
Flush the GPU's command buffer in Close() to make the ReportLiveDeviceObjects output clearer.

Advantages:
- easier to use
- drops our dependence on d3d10.lib, without depending on the June 2010 DX SDK
- makes finding unreleased buffers easier
- possibly more ;P
