Being able to preserve the address register is useful for the
next commit, and W0 is the address register used for loads. Saving
the address register used for stores, W1, was already supported.
If a host register has been newly allocated for the destination
guest register, and the load triggers an exception, we must make
sure to not write the old value in the host register into ppcState.
This commit achieves this by not marking the register as dirty
until after the load is done.
This does this following things:
- Default to the runtime automatic number of threads for pre-compiling shaders
- Adds a distinct automatic thread count computation for pre-compilation (which has less other things going on
and should scale better beyond 4 cores)
- Removes the unused logical_core_count field from the CPU detection
- Changes the semantics of num_cores from maximaum addressable number of cores to actually available CPU cores
(which is also how it was actually used)
- Updates the computation of the HTT flag now that AMD no longer lies about it for its Zen processors
- Background shader compilation is *not* enabled by default
This commit changes the default value of Fast Texture Sampling to true, and also moves the setting that controls it to the experimental section of the advanced tab. This is its own commit so that it can be easily reverted when we want to default to Manual Texture Sampling.

These messages apply to the User directory regardless of
whether it's global or local, so we shouldn't specify "global".
Also changing "directory" to "folder", just for consistency
with "GC folder" in the same sentence.
We implement this by first rounding to nearest integer using the current
rouding mode, then converting this value from floating point to an integral
value.
Prefer using eax to isolate the sign bit. This saves a byte when the
destination ends up as r8-15, because those require a REX prefix.
Before:
41 8B C5 mov eax,r13d
41 C1 ED 1F shr r13d,1Fh
44 03 E8 add r13d,eax
41 D1 FD sar r13d,1
After:
41 8B C5 mov eax,r13d
C1 E8 1F shr eax,1Fh
44 03 E8 add r13d,eax
41 D1 FD sar r13d,1
This moves the only direct call to zlib’s crc32() into its own
translation unit, but that operation is cold enough that this won’t
matter in the slightest. crc32_z() would be more appropriate, but
Android has an older zlib version…
The reload stub is at a fixed address (0x80001800) so its hook flag
should be HookFlag::Fixed.
Otherwise the hook is installed by HLE::PatchFixedFunctions but
immediately removed by HLE::PatchFunctions (which is called by
HLE::Reload right after PatchFixedFunctions).
Should fix https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12716
