DIRTY_MIPBIAS wasn't part of DIRTY_BASE_UNIFORMS, so on Vulkan and D3D11 a
new bias (u_mipBias for 3D textures, u_texLodBias since the last commit)
only reached the shader along with some other base uniform. The fast prim
loop also changed texlevel in auto mode without dirtying it. Fixes the F1
Grand Prix railings on Vulkan, where the texture was drawn from the
smallest mip level.

MoltenVK doesn't support a sampler mipLodBias (the portability subset's
samplerMipLodBias is false), so the PSP's LOD bias did nothing on Mac and
iOS, and biased textures came out a mip level blurrier than on OpenGL and
the PSP: MLB's signs and crowd, Burnout Legends, MediEvil, Ridge Racer 2.
Query the portability subset, and where the bias is missing, pass the auto
mode bias to texture() from a uniform instead.
VK_ENABLE_BETA_EXTENSIONS, which declares the portability subset, is now
defined for App Store iOS builds too.

CheckDepthUsage marked the framebuffer's depth as used this frame before
SetDepthFrameBuffer looked for newer depth in a framebuffer sharing it, so
depth from an earlier frame never counted as newer. Brooktown High clears
depth through another framebuffer as the last thing in a frame, and the
next frame's draws test against it: everything failed the depth test and
the hardware backends showed a black screen (#7223).
Now a pass whose first depth use tests against the depth checks for newer
depth first. One that only writes depth keeps the old order, so it doesn't
copy what it overwrites anyway. Of the benchmark savestates, God of War and
Daxter now copy depth once a frame, and God of War comes closer to the
software renderer for it; Burnout and LocoRoco would have copied too
without that restriction.

The display can point inside a larger framebuffer: Silent Hill flips
between two halves of a 1024-wide 565 buffer. Presenting it found the
framebuffer and the offset, but screenshots looked up only an exact
address match, and otherwise read RAM, which with a hardware renderer
holds something stale (Silent Hill: Origins' savestate thumbnails showed
the loading screen). Screenshots of the display now use the same lookup
and read back the 480x272 at the offset.
Headless screenshots go the same way: eight Silent Hill frame dumps
(Origins and Shattered Memories) now match the PSP exactly on Vulkan and
OpenGL, from 0.8k-104k differing pixels.

The fast matrix loads and the joined PRIMs read their commands themselves, then skipped them with
UpdatePC(pc, pc + n * 4), which counts the commands up to pc and resumes counting after the skipped
ones: those were never counted, as for a jump. Now pc moves first and UpdatePC counts up to it. The
software renderer runs those commands one at a time, so the backends now agree on the timing.

Full-screen clears measured on a PSP (pspautotests gpu/timing/blittiming):
0.49ms on a 16-bit framebuffer whatever is cleared, 0.69ms on 8888, 1.02ms on
8888 with depth. Charging them may help games that spin hard on an empty
screen, but it's off (chargeClearTime) until tried on some. The video blit
cost moves into the same function, now EstimateFillCycles.

Movie players like the one in Star Wars: Lethal Alliance present every decoded
frame after a single vblank wait, with no clock or timestamp check, so the
frame rate depends on decode, CSC, ATRAC decode and the GE blit adding up to
more than a vblank. We charged nearly nothing for any of them, so such movies
ran at 60 fps until the ringbuffer's slack ran out.
Costs measured on a PSP with a copy of that player (pspautotests
video/mpeg/playertiming), for a 480x272 frame:
- sceVideocodecDecode: 3.4ms (sceMpegAvcDecode 5.8ms less sceMpegAvcCsc 2.4ms)
- sceMpegBaseCscAvc: 2.4ms, was a flat 4ms
- sceAudiocodecDecode, ATRAC3+ only: 2.5ms per frame
- GE: 9.7ms for a through-mode rectangle blit from a decoded video frame,
charged by area, only for textures in the buffer a decoder last wrote.
GE time also now carries across stall address updates. Before, a list sent
in stalled chunks only had its last chunk's time counted, so sceGeDrawSync
returned 39us after a blit that takes 9.7ms. This affects every game that
builds its lists incrementally, so GE-timing-sensitive games need checking.

NotifyWriteFormattedFromMemory appends to videos_ unconditionally. A game
blitting its decoded frame to the display buffer does that every displayed
frame while it waits for the next one to decode, so the same two or three
addresses come back over and over: Death Jr pushes 733 entries where there are
two distinct buffers, Tekken 6 around 53,000 where there are three. IsVideo()
walks that vector linearly on every texture. Refresh the matching entry instead
of appending a new one - Death Jr now holds 2 entries and Tekken 6 holds 18,
peak size 2 and 3.
The other half is the two TODOs that were already sitting there. A video
texture is new every frame by definition, so re-hashing it only confirms what
the VIDEO flag already said, and the secondary cache has nothing to offer a
frame that will never recur. Skip both, and with them the secondary lookup that
would otherwise key off a hash we no longer compute.

Previously, "Smart 2D texture filtering" was limited to through-mode
draws, but many games use fully transformed draws to do 2D elements.
An example of this is Outrun in the menus, and it's always been plagued by
horrible filtering artifacts.
With the improved Smart 2D texture filtering, the artifacts are gone!
Of course, instead of glitchy bilinear you instead get point sampled
texturing so it looks more pixellated, but no more ugly borders between letters
in the game.
