To keep the TAS inputs synced to the game speed even through lag spikes and loading zones, deeper access is required.
First, the `TAS::UpdateThread` has to be executed exactly once per frame. This is done by connecting it to the service method the game calls to pass parameters to the GPU: `Service::VI::QueueBuffer`.
Second, the loading time of new subareas and/or kingdoms (SMO) can vary. To counteract that, the `CPU_BOOST_MODE` can be detected: In the `APM`-interface, the call to enabling/disabling the boost mode can be caught and forwarded to the TASing system, which can pause the script execution if neccessary and enabled in the settings.
First of all, TASing requires a script to play back. The user can select the parent directory at `System -> Filesystem`, next to an option to pause TAS during loads: This requires a "hacky" setup deeper in the code and will be added in the last commit.
Also, Hotkeys are being introduced: CTRL+F5 for playback start/stop, CTRL+F6 for re-reading the script and CTRL+F7 for recording a new script.
The base playback system supports up to 8 controllers (specified by `PLAYER_NUMBER` in `tas_input.h`), which all change their inputs simulataneously when `TAS::UpdateThread` is called.
The recording system uses the controller debugger to read the state of the first controller and forwards that data to the TASing system for recording. Currently, this process sadly is not frame-perfect and pixel-accurate.

Some system configurations may see visual regressions or lower performance using GPU decoding compared to CPU decoding. This setting provides the option for users to specify their decoding preference.

This commit renames the "Services" tab to "Network" and adds a combobox that allows the user to select the network interface that yuzu should use. This new setting is now used to get the local IP address in Network::GetHostIPv4Address. This prevents yuzu from selecting the wrong network interface and thus using the wrong IP address. The return type of Network::GetHostIPv4Adress has also been changed.
According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/469508, we run into a
MSVC bug (since VS 2005) when using diamond inheritance for
RangedSetting.
This explicitly implements those functions in RangedSetting. GetValue is
implemented as just calling the inherited version. The explicit
converson operator is reimplemented. I opted for this over ignoring the
warning with a pragma since this specifies the inherited behavior, and I
have now less faith in MSVC to pick the right one.
In addition, we mark destructors as virtual to silence what I believe is
a fair MSVC compilation error.
Fixes a theoretical scenario where a Setting is using the BasicSetting's
GetValue function. In practice this probably only happens on yuzu-cmd,
where there is no need for a Setting's additional features. Need to fix
regardless.
Use VK_KHR_pipeline_executable_properties when enabled and available to
log statistics about the pipeline cache in a game.
For example, this is on Turing GPUs when generating a pipeline cache
from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:
Average pipeline statistics
==========================================
Code size: 6433.167
Register count: 32.939
More advanced results could be presented, at the moment it's just an
average of all 3D and compute pipelines.
This setting is best referred to as a speed limit, as it involves the limits of all timing based aspects of the emulator, not only framerate.
This allows us to differentiate it from the fps unlocker setting.
GLASM is getting good enough that we can move it out of advanced
graphics settings. This removes the setting `use_assembly_shaders`,
opting for a enum class `shader_backend`. This comes with the benefits
that it is extensible for additional shader backends besides GLSL and
GLASM, and this will work better with a QComboBox.
Qt removes the related assembly shader setting from the Advanced
Graphics section and places it as a new QComboBox in the API Settings
group. This will replace the Vulkan device selector when OpenGL is
selected.
Additionally, mark all of the custom anisotropic filtering settings as
"WILL BREAK THINGS", as that is the case with a select few games.
Some titles crash if the FPS limit is disabled when launching. This change ensures that titles launch with the limit in-place to avoid issues.
In order to simplify the change, the UI toggle was removed as it will always be overridden at launch to be disabled.
The setting can still be toggled during gameplay with the hotkey, and indicated by the fps label in the status bar.
