This is a hassle-free BBA option intended for local play with multiple
Dolphin instances running *in the same system*. After selecting
**Broadband Adapter (IPC)** in the **SP1** slot in the GameCube section
in the settings, games that support LAN play will be able to discover
each other, without requiring third-party software or relatively complex
TAP setups.
The implementation is based on cpp-ipc, a high-performance inter-process
communication library that uses shared memory as transport layer.
Supported platforms are:
- [x] Linux
- [x] Windows
- [ ] macOS (cpp-ipc does not support this platform)
- [ ] FreeBSD (cpp-ipc does not support this platform)
- [ ] Android (cpp-ipc needs some adjustments; while it could work,
launching two Dolphin instances within the same Android system may be
both challenging and impractical)
Added some new visibility toggles so players can choose what to show (or hide) during their RetroAchievements runs:
Toggle for the Speedrun Leaderboards timer
Toggle for Achievement Challenge badges
Rename m_session to m_last_value_session to better reflect its meaning
and distinguish it from m_current_value_session which will be introduced
in another commit.
USBDevicePicker: Modify USBDeviceAddToWhitelistDialog to be more generic, and use it for a new "More Options..." selection in Bluetooth Passthrough adapters
The `QtUtils::AdjustSizeWithinScreen()` function now centers the
widget on their parent window after the widget's size is adjusted. This
is required in some desktop environments (generally on Linux systems) to
ensure that the just-resized widget remains aligned with its parent
window.
The creation of the **Cheats Manager** dialog is now deferred to first
show, as creating it within the main window's constructor prevents the
dialog from knowing the real position of its parent window, which is
only properly calculated on first show.
For the same reasons, the analytics prompt is now shown only when the
application is ready (i.e. when the main window has been shown).

When opening a file dialog to set the location of a custom path, use the
corresponding user path as the starting location instead of the current
custom path.
When no custom path was set the dialog would be opened with a blank path
which causes Windows (not sure about other platforms) to open the dialog
at the same location where the last dialog was closed, or at the current
working directory if no previous dialog had been opened.
If a nonempty custom path has been set then it has also set the
corresponding user path, so the behavior in that case is unchanged.
