Plus: I added a _assert_msg_ in FIFO loop when the WriteDistance is negative. Please if that happens report it, this can help to solve strange issues with wrong WriteDistances.

In this way it prevents wrong fifo.CPReadWriteDistance in the future. That should fix RE0 Issue 2846 and others "Warning: GFX FIFO: Unknown Opcode (0x4d)" in dual core mode.

Really that happens because the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative.
Example: CPReadWriteDistance: -864 CPEnd: 10092672 fifo.CPBase: 9568416
In SMG this is because PI_FIFO_RESET is writing and after fifo.CPReadWriteDistance will be setted to 0.
To Prevent that, I've Implemented AbortFrame function in the CommmandProcessor. It should fix overflown because of that.
Note: There is other issue (Issue 2846) where the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative too but the effect is different.
I'm working to solve this.

This is EXPERIMENTAL, in theory don't break any game but if so Revert this commit immediately please.
Note: Beside Eternal Darkness needs DirectX 11 or DirectX 9 with Zelda Hack to works fine.

Dual Core sync fix.
When the FIFO is processing data we must not advance the cpu cycles in CoreTiming because in this way the VI will be desynchronized. So, We are waiting until the FIFO finish and while we process only the events required by the FIFO.
This should fix Issue 2072 .
This affect to all games in dual core mode.
Please, You can test all games with VPS limiter auto, 60, 50 depending of the game and compare with prev revision.
For example now NSMB in the video Intro has 60 fps (prev 30 fps) :D or SMG does't need anymore FPS Limitter Hack to get 55-60 fps
Beside the slowdowns now are more softly and the fps more stables because the VI sync is almost perfect.
The Core Timing and Fifo modifications are delicated. Please report if this hang any game. Don't forget check with prev revision.
Enjoy it! Thanks to Rodolfo for teach me all about dolphin.
