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.

The log filter was being ignored on initialization due to the logging instance being initialized before the config instance, so the log filter was set to its default value.
This fixes that oversight, along with using descriptive exceptions instead of abort() calls.
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 fixes a lost wakeup in SPSCQueue. If the reader is in just the right position, the writer's notification will be lost and this will be a problem if the writer then does something to wait on the reader.
This was discovered to affect my upcoming stacktrace PR. I don't think any performance decrease will be noticeable because an uncontended mutex is smart enough to skip the syscall. This PR might also resolve some rare deadlocks but I don't know of any examples.
This implements backtraces so we don't have to tell users how to use gdb anymore.
This prints a backtrace after abort or segfault is detected. It also fixes the log getting cut off with the last line containing only a bracket. This change lets us know what caused a crash not just what happened the few seconds before it.
I only know how to add support for Linux with GCC. Also this doesn't work outside of C/C++ such as in dynarmic or certain parts of graphics drivers. The good thing is that it'll try and just crash again but the stack frames are still there so the core dump will work just like before.
This simplifies the logging system.
This also fixes some lost messages on startup.
The simplification is simple. I removed unused functions and moved most things in the .h to the .cpp. I replaced the unnecessary linked list with its contents laid out as three member variables. Anything that went through the linked list now directly accesses the backends. Generic functions are replaced with those for each specific use case and there aren't many. This change increases coupling but we gain back more KISS and encapsulation.
With those changes it was easy to make it thread-safe. I just removed the mutex and turned a boolean atomic. I was planning to use this thread-safety in my next PR about stacktraces. It was actually async-signal-safety at first but I ended up using a different approach. Anyway getting rid of the linked list is important for that because have the list of backends constantly changing complicates things.
