GPU: Pass SpanOrArray for Texture SetData to avoid copy (#3745)
* GPU: Pass SpanOrArray for Texture SetData to avoid copy

Texture data is often converted before upload, meaning that an array was allocated to perform the conversion into. However, the backend SetData methods were being passed a Span of that data, and the Multithreaded layer does `ToArray()` on it so that it can be stored for later! This method can't extract the original array, so it creates a copy.

This PR changes the type passed for textures to a new ref struct called SpanOrArray, which is backed by either a ReadOnlySpan or an array. The benefit here is that we can have a ToArray method that doesn't copy if it is originally backed by an array.

This will also avoid a copy when running the ASTC decoder.

On NieR this was taking 38% of texture upload time, which it does a _lot_ of when you move between areas, so there should be a 1.6x performance boost when strictly uploading textures. No doubt this will also improve texture streaming performance in UE4 games, and maybe a small reduction with video playback.

From the numbers, it's probably possible to improve the upload rate by a further 1.6x by performing layout conversion on GPU. I'm not sure if we could improve it further than that - multithreading conversion on CPU would probably result in memory bottleneck.

This doesn't extend to buffers, since we don't convert their data on the GPU emulator side.

* Remove implicit cast to array.

Texture Sync, incompatible overlap handling, data flush improvements. (#2971)
* Initial test for texture sync

* WIP new texture flushing setup

* Improve rules for incompatible overlaps

Fixes a lot of issues with Unreal Engine games. Still a few minor issues (some caused by dma fast path?) Needs docs and cleanup.

* Cleanup, improvements

Improve rules for fast DMA

* Small tweak to group together flushes of overlapping handles.

* Fixes, flush overlapping texture data for ASTC and BC4/5 compressed textures.

Fixes the new Life is Strange game.

* Flush overlaps before init data, fix 3d texture size/overlap stuff

* Fix 3D Textures, faster single layer flush

Note: nosy people can no longer merge this with Vulkan. (unless they are nosy enough to implement the new backend methods)

* Remove unused method

* Minor cleanup

* More cleanup

* Use the More Fun and Hopefully No Driver Bugs method for getting compressed tex too

This one's for metro

* Address feedback, ASTC+ETC to FormatClass

* Change offset to use Span slice rather than IntPtr Add

* Fix this too

Add a Multithreading layer for the GAL, multi-thread shader compilation at runtime (#2501)
* Initial Implementation

About as fast as nvidia GL multithreading, can be improved with faster command queuing.

* Struct based command list

Speeds up a bit. Still a lot of time lost to resource copy.

* Do shader init while the render thread is active.

* Introduce circular span pool V1

Ideally should be able to use structs instead of references for storing these spans on commands. Will try that next.

* Refactor SpanRef some more

Use a struct to represent SpanRef, rather than a reference.

* Flush buffers on background thread

* Use a span for UpdateRenderScale.

Much faster than copying the array.

* Calculate command size using reflection

* WIP parallel shaders

* Some minor optimisation

* Only 2 max refs per command now.

The command with 3 refs is gone. 😌

* Don't cast on the GPU side

* Remove redundant casts, force sync on window present

* Fix Shader Cache

* Fix host shader save.

* Fixup to work with new renderer stuff

* Make command Run static, use array of delegates as lookup

Profile says this takes less time than the previous way.

* Bring up to date

* Add settings toggle. Fix Muiltithreading Off mode.

* Fix warning.

* Release tracking lock for flushes

* Fix Conditional Render fast path with threaded gal

* Make handle iteration safe when releasing the lock

This is mostly temporary.

* Attempt to set backend threading on driver

Only really works on nvidia before launching a game.

* Fix race condition with BufferModifiedRangeList, exceptions in tracking actions

* Update buffer set commands

* Some cleanup

* Only use stutter workaround when using opengl renderer non-threaded

* Add host-conditional reservation of counter events

There has always been the possibility that conditional rendering could use a query object just as it is disposed by the counter queue. This change makes it so that when the host decides to use host conditional rendering, the query object is reserved so that it cannot be deleted. Counter events can optionally start reserved, as the threaded implementation can reserve them before the backend creates them, and there would otherwise be a short amount of time where the counter queue could dispose the event before a call to reserve it could be made.

* Address Feedback

* Make counter flush tracked again.

Hopefully does not cause any issues this time.

* Wait for FlushTo on the main queue thread.

Currently assumes only one thread will want to FlushTo (in this case, the GPU thread)

* Add SDL2 headless integration

* Add HLE macro commands.
