Headless replays frame dumps to compare them with references and with the PSP, which a game's
workarounds skew: DarkStalkers' present hack (16510) replaces the game's final upscale, so the
replay didn't match the PSP's. The app still applies them.

Partial red, green and blue write masks now always go through the shader with
a framebuffer read. Across the frame dump set this only improves games outside
the old list (Split/Second, Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins, older DiRT 2 and OutRun
dumps without a game ID). Partial alpha masks keep the old heuristic: alpha is
the stencil, with its own write mask, and taking the shader path for them made
Pro Yakyu Spirits and Gangs of London worse.

There are a few games that seem to rely on performance problems or
timing quirks to hold the correct pace when playing sceMpeg - have not
been able to nail down any other timing mechanism.
This adds a timing enforcement function.

Fixes#21776
Since only two games are known to need the cull-after-clip behavior
(previously known as inversion), we flag those and avoid unnecessary
soft clipping.
I had hoped to find a dynamic check that would work, but haven't managed
to figure out a good one yet.
This will improve performance a little bit in some other games since we
can avoid clipping in software at all in many cases.
This reverts to the old behavior before we started parsing mpeg headers,
that is, in 558b462 which is part of #8867.
LunaMoo has this under "HackFixVideo" in his build.
See #8991. This doesn't really "fix" that, but works around it.
* 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
Fixes#17014
Even if our depth-testing-equal heuristic believes that the game needs
lower depth resolution.
This removes some depth-fighting artifacts (that are present on the real
PSP, but nice to avoid) in Outrun, Split/Second and Cars: Race-o-Rama -
essentially reverting these to the behavior we had before the heuristic.
(The heuristic is good though - it means less compat.ini hacks going in
the other direction).
In the case of Outrun, this relies on two passes that pass exactly the
same vertex coordinates twice resulting in the exact same final
geometry. This is actually guaranteed by the spec if the vertex math is
exactly the same and "invariant" is set on the position output, though
I guess you never know.. Haven't seen any issues at least.
Also sneak in disabling some validation messages from using extra Vulkan
validation layers other than the default.
