With block entries out of memory, the only fake opcode left is the one the CPU cores fetch in
place of a hooked instruction. Call it MIPS_CALL_REPLACEMENT_OP, and its handlers
Int_CallReplacement and Dis_CallReplacement, and remove the sub-op defines and the unused
MIPS_IS_REPLACEMENT.

The JITs used to find a block by overwriting its first instruction with an "emuhack" holding
the offset into the code space, and replacement functions installed their own emuhack the same
way. Anything that read code (savestates, the debugger, memory dumps, cheats, the function
hasher, games reading their own code) had to translate them back.
Blocks now live in a block shadow: one u32 per guest instruction, indexed by the PC masked with
BLOCK_SHADOW_MASK (1GB on 64-bit, folding the kernel and uncached mirrors; 256MB on 32-bit, iOS
and Switch, where address space is short), with the low bits cleared so a misaligned PC can't
read across two entries. Only the ranges under memory views are committed, so a bad PC still
faults in the dispatcher, and the shadow is reserved before the memory map so it can't land in
a gap of the 4GB window. Entries hold full 32-bit offsets, lifting the 16MB limit. The
dispatchers on every backend, and the IR interpreter's loop, look blocks up there.
A hooked instruction without a compiled block gets the JIT's hook value in its entry: the offset
of the dispatcher's compile path (1 for the interpreters, the IR arena keeping that offset
empty), so dispatching there compiles a block, and the frontends substitute the hook. Compiling
replaces the entry with the block's, and destroying the block puts the hook value back. The hook
value is rewritten when the JIT changes or regenerates its dispatcher.
Hooks live in a map keyed by the masked address, and are dropped when the game overwrites the
hooked instruction, or when an icache invalidation finds the function's hash (immediates masked,
as when matching it) changed. Those checks run when queued invalidations are processed, since
cheats and the debugger queue them before writing. Installing and removing hooks invalidates
deferred, as it happens in HLE calls that can run inside a block. The cache instruction goes
through MIPSState, so it drops changed hooks too.
With clean memory, the save/clear/restore around savestates, memory reads and dumps goes away,
as do the source-range invalidations in the memcpy replacements, sceDmac and the cheats.

flush_to_file() ends with clear(), but tracing stays on and the blocks
already compiled keep the index baked into their LogIRBlock instruction.
A second flush then indexed an emptied trace_info out of bounds.
Skip indices that no longer refer to anything and say so in the log, and
give the LogIRBlock placeholder an explicit invalid index so a block that
prepare_block failed to record doesn't dump block 0 instead.

step-over, step-out and run-until plant a one-shot breakpoint at the address
they want execution to return to. Keeping it in breakPoints_ alongside the
user's own meant the two kept colliding:
- Adding a log-only user breakpoint at the same address hijacked the temporary
one. AddBreakPoint() didn't match across temp-ness so both existed, and then
ChangeBreakPoint() looked up "the first enabled breakpoint at this address" -
a log-only breakpoint isn't enabled, so the temporary one won and had its
action overwritten to log-only. It lost PAUSE and the step never came back.
- RemoveBreakPoint() erased up to two entries per address to catch an
overlapping temporary one, so deleting either deleted both - including the
interpreter's cleanup path in CheckExecBreakpoints() taking the user's
breakpoint with it.
- ExecBreakPoint() handled one breakpoint per address, so with both at the same
address only one of them did anything: the step completed but the user's log
line never printed.
- Nothing dropped it when something *else* stopped us first, so an interrupted
step left a breakpoint armed at an address nobody was waiting for anymore,
which later fired as a phantom stop.
It's a single TempBreakPoint member now, invisible to the breakpoint lists and
untouched by user edits. One is enough: step over/out and cross-thread step into
all require the CPU to already be stepping and resume it immediately, so only
one can be in flight, and run-until now replaces rather than stacking (two
pending run-untils had no coherent meaning, and the loser stayed armed).
Behavior follows what other debuggers do. Both breakpoints at an address are
evaluated independently and their actions combine, so a log-only breakpoint
logs without stopping and still lets the step finish. Core_Break() drops the
temporary breakpoint on any stop, whatever the reason - the same way gdb deletes
its step-resume breakpoint and lldb discards the thread plan.
Two things to be careful of, both covered by the new TempBreakpoints test:
HasBreakPoints() has to account for it, or the interpreter's checked run loop
and the JIT skip breakpoint checking entirely and a step with no user
breakpoints set never returns; and IsAddressBreakPoint() (user-facing, for the
lists and disassembly markers) is now separate from NeedsBreakCheckAt() (what
the JIT frontends and interpreter ask), since only the latter should see 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
Otherwise, the block will be executed with the wrong rounding mode the
first time rounding is set. This could be important if it was set for a
single operation.
This is only a problem the first time it's set.
These generally work, but likely delay slots will make downcount slightly
off, and won't resume when you hit run again without manually stepping
through them.
