This commit aims to implement the NVDEC (Nvidia Decoder) functionality, with video frame decoding being handled by the FFmpeg library.
The process begins with Ioctl commands being sent to the NVDEC and VIC (Video Image Composer) emulated devices. These allocate the necessary GPU buffers for the frame data, along with providing information on the incoming video data. A Submit command then signals the GPU to process and decode the frame data.
To decode the frame, the respective codec's header must be manually composed from the information provided by NVDEC, then sent with the raw frame data to the ffmpeg library.
Currently, H264 and VP9 are supported, with VP9 having some minor artifacting issues related mainly to the reference frame composition in its uncompressed header.
Async GPU is not properly implemented at the moment.

Now that the GPU is initialized when video backends are initialized,
it's no longer needed to query components once the game is running: it
can be done when yuzu is booting.
This allows us to pass components between constructors and in the
process remove all Core::System references in the video backend.
The puller register array is made up of u32s however the `NUM_REGS` value is the size in bytes, so switch it to avoid making the struct unnecessary large. Also fix a small typo in a comment.
Changes the GraphicsContext to be managed by the GPU core. This
eliminates the need for the frontends to fool around with tricky
MakeCurrent/DoneCurrent calls that are dependent on the settings (such
as async gpu option).
This also refactors out the need to use QWidget::fromWindowContainer as
that caused issues with focus and input handling. Now we use a regular
QWidget and just access the native windowHandle() directly.
Another change is removing the debug tool setting in FrameMailbox.
Instead of trying to block the frontend until a new frame is ready, the
core will now take over presentation and draw directly to the window if
the renderer detects that its hooked by NSight or RenderDoc
Lastly, since it was in the way, I removed ScopeAcquireWindowContext and
replaced it with a simple subclass in GraphicsContext that achieves the
same result
This function is called rarely and blocks quite often for a long time.
So don't waste power and let the CPU sleep.
This might also increase the performance as the other cores might be allowed to clock higher.
This commit uses guest fences on vSync event instead of an articial fake
fence we had.
It also corrects to keep signaling display events while loading the game
as the OS is suppose to send buffers to vSync during that time.
This commit ensures that the host gpu is constantly fed with commands to
work with, while the guest gpu keeps producing the rest of the commands.
This reduces syncing time between host and guest gpu.
