Improved dual core mode for "Metroid Prime 2", "Star Fox Adventures", etc.
I should have committed this long time ago, but I don't have every game to test compatibility... Any way, better late than never.
PS: If any regression observed, feel free to revert this rev.

Enable the thread by adding this line to the video plugin ini files, "User\Config\gfx_dx9.ini" and "User\Config\gfx_opengl.ini":
UseFIFOThread = True
The line should be added under the UseXFB line.
To disable the FIFO thread, use this line:
UseFIFOThread = False
If the line is not in the ini file, the default is disabled (i.e. False).
The FIFO thread causes an error when the OpenGL plugin is used. The D3D plugin works.
Only top left quarter of the screen can be seen when rendering to main window. The entire screen can be viewed when running in a window.

2. Fixed a bug (for Win 32bit) that reports "No possible memory base pointer found!" even when there IS valid memory base found.
3. Made Metroid Prime 2 (maybe also other games) boot
PS: There is definitely some initialization problem with Dolphin (not found exact location yet), which prevents Metroid Prime 2 from first time booting (If you boot some other GC game first, stop it, then MP2 can boot without problem).
So I added an instant BP hack that can make MP2 boot even at first time.
And I've tested all my games to guarantee it won't break any game that already boots before this hack.

Now the frame limiter yields on CPU thread, not as before on GPU thread mistakenly
2. Fixed clear of VI interrupts
I guess VI interrupts are not used at all, because they were never cleared before
3. Made GPU thread 0% processor usage when paused whatever your active config is.
I tried the event approach but somehow the thread resume latency is excessively long (Who can tell me why?)

"VideoFifo_CheckEFBAccess()" & "VideoFifo_CheckSwapRequest()" should be moved to a more suitable place than inside function "Fifo_EnterLoop()", which wastes considerable amount of CPU time (exhausting one core completely even when paused) and also makes VPS inaccurate.

This also fixed Ikaruga, not sure whether it could fix Metriod Prime. If not, how about disabling EFB copy?

2. Fixed Issue 1909
Multi-Nunchuck control problem
3. Updated SYSCONF, which should enable games that require MotionPlus, such as "Wii Sports Resort"

- FIFO changes - minor cleanup, code organization based on Nolan's changes
- Minor code cleanup
- CommandProcessor changes - Allow BP IRQ clearing for either raising or falling edges.
- Revived old SetFifoIdle code
Gets Pokemon XD to run, but will crash to any CPU-GPU desync. Other games like Metroid Prime, look happy with the new FIFO changes.
Please report any problems.

DSPHLE: Some warning fixes and added some logging for unknown voice cases
Please report if anything has broken.

Also fix an issue reported by baby.lueshi (issue 1074) in nJoy related to half press button being always pressed when unset.

2. AccessEFB will probably not hang (tell me if it does)
3. Stopping should be a little bit faster

Also, render target code is cleaned up. Post-processing shaders now work with multisampling and Real-XFB mode.

for the timer function please put it in Timer.h and not in each seperate file.
(And yes, I have a script that does that).

Is there no indication from the game when the screen refresh should occur? No, not what I could find, we currently calculate the refresh rate and m_VBeamPos from the CPU ticks progress. That works perfectly if the CPU and GPU is perfectly synced as in the single core and no-idle skipping mode. So I guess it's possible that the game doesn't indicate when the screen should be refreshed, but rather that the hardware calculate that from the CPU ticks progress. That leaves us with a problem in the dual core and idle skipping modes to calculate a CPU-GPU synced CPU ticks progress.

This change also includes tons of minor code formatting cleanup. Yeah, should've separated it ... sorry :(
Kills the old CPUCompare support. I'll resurrect it if I need it again, right now it mostly clutters the code.
