Each instance paced itself against the wall clock, so on a busy machine
the one that got less CPU fell behind, and anything a test times across
instances (a peer leaving, a matching timeout) came out differently with
the load: pair/vanish and pair/matching3 failed on macOS CI.
With --sync-file and --sync-count, instances on one machine share a file
of one slot per instance. CoreTiming ends a slice at every emulated
millisecond, publishes it there, and waits until every other instance
has reached it too, so they're never more than a millisecond apart. It
works for any number of instances. One that stops moving (a debugger
pause, a crash) is waited for 2 s and then left out until it moves
again, and one that blocks the CPU thread in real time on something the
others must do (the relay PTP connect) stands aside meanwhile.
Tools/adhoc_multi.py and adhoc_session.py use it (--no-sync turns it
off). The host's 1 s head start is gone: they wait for the server's
port instead. adhoc_multi writes each instance's output to a file, as a
full pipe would now stop the other instances too.

The POSIX path used mlock() as though it were a mutex. mlock only pins pages in
RAM - it provides no mutual exclusion at all, so the read-modify-write of the
cross-process instance counter was unsynchronized. Two instances launched at the
same moment could both come away with PPSSPP_ID == 1, at which point both pass
IsFirstInstance() and write ppsspp.ini over each other, and both compute the same
adhoc local IP. Take an advisory lock on the shm fd instead. (The Windows path was
already fine - it uses a named mutex.)
Also, next/total are uint8_t in a segment that outlives the processes using it, so
next climbs across runs and wraps. Landing on 0 is worse than it looks: it isn't a
valid instance id, IsFirstInstance() fails, and config saving is silently disabled
from then on. Skip past it on wrap.
* Rename LogType to Log
* Explicitly use the Log:: enum when logging. Allows for autocomplete when editing.
* Mac/ARM64 buildfix
* Do the same with the hle result log macros
* Rename the log names to mixed case while at it.
* iOS buildfix
* Qt buildfix attempt, ARM32 buildfix
