Some of the speed hacks were not approved for RetroAchievements, meaning that users had to choose between not getting hardcore achievements, or having poor performance.
Also, renamed the instances of `$Limit internal FPS to VPS (improves performance)` to `$Limit internal frame rate (speed hack)` for consistency. They are enabled by default, so unless the user disabled them, it won't break the configuration.
Example:
```
nand. r1, r2, r3
```
Assuming that none of these registers will be used again:
- Before #14278, all of them would be flushed on both sides of the branch.
- After #14278, r2 and r3 would have been flushed earlier, but r1 won't.
- With this, r1 is flushed in ComputeRC.
Found out when attempting to make a speed hack to help Dolphin detect an idle loop. The inserted `nop` was preventing it from considering it an idle loop.
Accomplished using `run-clang-tidy` with `performance-move-const-arg,performance-unnecessary-value-param,modernize-pass-by-value`.
Changed arguments to const references, removed them where inappropriate (e.g. sink parameters). Same with std::move.
Manually reviewed each change to make sure that it makes sense, and do something more appropriate if possible.
APPROVED_LIST_HASH is moved to a separate file, making tests compilation faster after changing it.
The error message prints the hash in a way that it can be directly copy-pasted (though it still needs clang-format).
JIT code related to Branch Watch was emitted if the debugging UI was active: the emitted code would dynamically check whether Branch Watch is active.
However, this causes two problems:
1. It decreases performance by just having the debugging UI enabled
2. It clutters the host assembly in the JIT tab, making it harder to read (unaware readers will wonder what these instructions are for)
With this PR, code related to Branch Watch is emitted only if Branch Watch itself is active, fixing the issues above.
The JIT cache will now be wiped whenever the feature is toggled, causing a slight stutter. However, this isn't the kind of feature that is toggled over and over, so IMO it is an acceptable trade-off.
Yellow squiggly lines begone!
Done automatically on .cpp files through `run-clang-tidy`, with manual corrections to the mistakes.
If an import is directly used, but is technically unnecessary since it's recursively imported by something else, it is *not* removed.
The tool doesn't touch .h files, so I did some of them by hand while fixing errors due to old recursive imports.
Not everything is removed, but the cleanup should be substantial enough.
Because this done on Linux, code that isn't used on it is mostly untouched.
(Hopefully no open PR is depending on these imports...)
Without cache emulation, these instructions are functionally identical.
In the interpreter, their only difference is related to HID registers checks, which the JIT already doesn't do for `dcbz`.
A loop with `dcbz_l` is used in the SDK function `LCEnable`, which is called frequently in some games.
Compared to the former, the latter invalidates the icache, which is
something that is likely desired for patches (especially if they are
applied while the game is running).
Invalidate icache only if target address has a different value. Take separate arguements,
instead of a struct, to allow easier usage elsewhere. Overload with u8,
u16 and u32 values for the same reason.
This feature allows overriding the frequency of the Vertical Blank Interrupt. For many games, this means that their gameplay speed will change without affecting audio, which would be useful by itself (e.g. grinding in RPGs).
However, there are games that use delta time for their game logic, which allows them to be played at >60 FPS at the same gameplay speed!
Some games aren't dynamic though, and require a patch to adjust their game speed variable.
`EFBEmulateFormatChanges = True` properly emulates the blur in the pause screen.
`ImmediateXFBEnable = False` to prevent epilepsy-inducing FMVs and main menu.

`Layer::Save` only does its thing if the layer has `is_dirty == true`.
But SYSCONF could have been modified by other layers, so if the base layer wasn't made dirty by anything else, then it wouldn't be restored.

This way, by pressing Continue on top of a breakpoint, the emulation will actually continue (like on Cached Interpreter and JIT), instead of doing nothing.
Before:
1. In theory there could be multiple, but in practice they were (manually) cleared before creating one
2. (Some of) the conditions to clear one were either to reach it, to create a new one (due to the point above), or to step. This created weird behavior: let's say you Step Over a `bl` (thus creating a temporary breakpoint on `pc+4`), and you reached a regular breakpoint inside the `bl`. The temporary one would still be there: if you resumed, the emulation would still stop there, as a sort of Step Out. But, if before resuming, you made a Step, then it wouldn't do that.
3. The breakpoint widget had no idea concept of them, and will treat them as regular breakpoints. Also, they'll be shown only when the widget is updated in some other way, leading to more confusion.
4. Because only one breakpoint could exist per address, the creation of a temporary breakpoint on a top of a regular one would delete it and inherit its properties (e.g. being log-only). This could happen, for instance, if you Stepped Over a `bl` specifically, and pc+4 had a regular breakpoint.
Now there can only be one temporary breakpoint, which is automatically cleared whenever emulation is paused. So, removing some manual clearing from 1., and removing the weird behavior of 2. As it is stored in a separate variable, it won't be seen at all depending on the function used (fixing 3., and removing some checks in other places), and it won't replace a regular breakpoint, instead simply having priority (fixing 4.).
Now it actually does what it says on the name, instead of creating a breapoint and doing nothing else (not even updating the widget).
Also, it now can't be selected if emulation isn't running.

Change misleading names.
Fix function usage: Intepreter and Step Out will not check breakpoints in their own wrong way anymore (e.g. breaking on log-only breakpoints).
