This fixes a problem I was having where using frame advance with the
debugger open would frequently cause panic alerts about invalid addresses
due to the CPU thread changing MSR.DR while the host thread was trying
to access memory.
To aid in tracking down all the places where we weren't properly locking
the CPU, I've created a new type (in Core.h) that you have to pass as a
reference or pointer to functions that require running as the CPU thread.
Previously, if a user on Windows launched Dolphin from the command line
and specified a path to an M3U file and included backslashes in this path,
Dolphin would fail to resolve relative paths in the M3U file.
I recently talked to a homebrew developer who was trying to add exception
handlers at link time but found out that Dolphin was overwriting their
exception handlers. I figure that's not the usual way to do exception
handlers, but... making us load the executable after setting up memory
rather than before is easy, and matches what we do when booting discs,
so I suppose there's no reason not to do it. It also matches the intent
of why Dolphin is writing default exception handlers – we're writing
them because some homebrew relies on exception handlers being left
around from whatever program was running before it (see 3dd777be70).
For a few years now, I've been thinking it would be nice to make Dolphin
support reading Wii games in the format they come in when you download
them from the Wii U eShop. The Wii U eShop has some good deals on Wii
games (Metroid Prime Trilogy especially is rather expensive if you try
to buy it physically!), and it's the only place right now where you can
buy Wii games digitally.
Of course, Nintendo being Nintendo, next year they're going to shut down
this only place where you can buy Wii games digitally. I kind of wish I
had implemented this feature earlier so that people would've had ample
time to buy the games they want, but... better late than never, right?
I used MIT-licensed code from the NOD library as a reference when
implementing this. None of the code has been directly copied, but
you may notice that the names of the struct members are very similar.

These values were obtained by setting a breakpoint at a game's entry point, and then observing the register values with Dolphin's register widget.
There are other registers that aren't handled by this PR, including CR, XER, SRR0, SRR1, and "Int Mask" (as well as most of the GPRs). They could be added in a later PR if it turns out that their values matter, but probably most of them don't.
This fixes Datel titles booting with the IPL skipped (see https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/8223), though when booted this way they are currently missing textures. Due to somewhat janky code, Datel overwrites the syscall interrupt handler and then immediately triggers it (with the `sc` instruction) before they restore the correct one. This works on real hardware due to icache, and also works in Dolphin when the IPL runs due to icache, but prior to this change `HID0.ICE` defaulted to 0 so icache was not enabled when the IPL was skipped.
This moves the only direct call to zlib’s crc32() into its own
translation unit, but that operation is cold enough that this won’t
matter in the slightest. crc32_z() would be more appropriate, but
Android has an older zlib version…

We should only try to load a symbol map for the new title *after* it
has been loaded into memory, not before. Likewise for applying HLE
patches and loading new custom textures.
In practice, loading/repatching too early was only a problem for
titles that are launched via ES_Launch. This commit fixes that.
In particular:
- Trying to play audio in a non-ready state returns the state-specific error, not an audio buf error
- Audio status cannot be requested in non-ready states
- The audio buffer cannot be configured in states other than ReadyNoReadsMade
- Using the stop motor command while the motor is already stopped doesn't change states
Additionally, the internal state IDs are used (which distinguish ReadyNoReadsMade and Ready), instead of the state IDs exposed in request error. This makes some of the weird behavior a bit more obvious.
State and error behavior of the seek command was not implemented in this commit.
...in addition to the existing function CreateVolume
(renamed from CreateVolumeFromFilename).
Lets code easily add constraints such as not letting the user
select a WAD file when using the disc changing functionality.
