This is a compile definition introduced in Qt 4.8 for reducing the total
potential number of strings created when performing string
concatenation. This allows for less memory churn.

For a change that isn't source-compatible, we only had one occurrence
that actually need to have its type clarified, which is pretty good, as
far as transitioning goes.
Lets us keep the generic portions of the compatibility list code
together, and allows us to introduce a type alias that makes it so we
don't need to type out a very long type declaration anymore, making the
immediate readability of some code better.
This has gotten sufficiently large enough to warrant moving it to its
own source files. Especially given it dumps the file_sys headers around
code that doesn't use it for the most part.
This'll also make it easier to introduce a type alias for the
compatibility list, so a large unordered_map type declaration doesn't
need to be specified all the time (we don't want to propagate the
game_list_p.h include via the main game_list.h header).
Eliminates the need to rebuild some source files if the file_util header
ever changes. This also uncovered some indirect inclusions, which have
also been fixed.
The follow-up to 88597535d6, which
replaces most of the includes in the core header with forward declarations.
This makes it so that if any of the headers the core header was
previously including change, then no one will need to rebuild the bulk
of the core, due to core.h being quite a prevalent inclusion.
This should make turnaround for changes much faster for developers.
Avoids the need to rebuild multiple source files if the filesystem code
headers change.
This also gets rid of a few instances of indirect inclusions being
relied upon
Instead of tying the QFileSystemWatcher to the GameList and updating in
the UI thread, this change moves it to the worker thread. Since it gets
deleted and recreated as part of the worker thread, this prevents it from
ever getting used from multiple threads (which is why it was originally
done on the UI thread)
Corrects a few issues with regards to Doxygen documentation, for example:
- Incorrect parameter referencing.
- Missing @param tags.
- Typos in @param tags.
and a few minor other issues.
Fixes#1115.
Also improves the performances of DiskArchive’s directory
implementation a lot, simply by not going through the entire tree
instead of just listing the first level files.
