The span pixel function and the four-pixel bilinear sampler work in vector lanes, a channel per
vector, but took and returned the colors a pixel at a time, so every span was transposed twice on the
way. Now they take a channel at a time with a stride. The staged rows keep each chunk's colors that
way from the start (their stage walks a channel at a time anyway), and DrawRectangle builds them so.

Where the pixel function is the C++ one, triangles and sprites now hand
it a whole span of four pixels. Unless the state has a stencil or color
test, a logic op or a signed blend factor, the span goes through one pixel
per vector lane: clamping, alpha test, fog, depth range, test and write,
blending, dither and the color write mask, as the per-pixel code does
them. Checked against the per-pixel code span by span in 8 games and 263
frame dumps.

The software renderer kept depth linear in VRAM, where the GE stores it
in the layout GPU/Common/DepthSwizzle.h describes, from the EDRAM address
translation and the color format. So a texture or anything else sharing
VRAM with a depth buffer saw depth land in the wrong places (the player's
shadow in Silent Hill: Origins, #22415). Now every depth access goes
through the layout: the generic pixel functions, the 2x2 depth test, the
depth clear in 16-pixel runs, and the x86 pixel JIT, whose IDs carry the
translation so the layout's constants are compiled in. It changes with
the color format and sceGeEdramSetAddrTranslation, after a flush.
Reading VRAM through its 0x04200000 and 0x04600000 mirrors undoes the
layout, as the GE does: texturing from them (drawn from a linear copy
made after a flush), and block transfers from or to them (Hayate no
Gotoku restores its depth buffer through 0x04600000, #17878). Saved and
debugger depth buffers read through the layout, so they're linear.
Socom's lens flare dump now matches a PSP replay where it changes. About
2-3% more cycles in God of War, Tekken 6, Wipeout and Burnout.

A code space clear frees the functions the current state points to, but
the state was kept as long as the GE registers didn't change. Track the
clear generations and recompute, also when a compile during the state
computation clears the caches.
Also skip the binner flush for compiles on builds without the software
JIT, where Compile() does nothing.

If the generation count happens to match, would still get a stale pointer
and crash. Let's just make the generation count static so it always
increases.
This is common (for example, maybe a pixel state is updated but sampler is
not), and reduces time spent in ComputeRasterizerState() quite a bit in
Darkstalkers, where jits are available (i.e. Intel currently.)
If we don't need to write stencil on sfail/zfail, we can do the depthtest
early, which allows us to more often skip texture sampling.
This gives a good improvement in Chains of Olympus.
