should be done with VAO, but atm, this is not possible :-(
this also partial revert the fix in fb92c338af83 (activating texture0 globally).

the amount and size of the buffer is now changed to "new hardware" frienly values and will fall back to the right values if hardware does not support them.
my next commit will be to a branch, with my ogl work.
So to compensate lets bring back some speed to the emulation.
change a little the way the vertex are send to the gpu,
This first implementation changes dx9 a lot and dx11 a little to increase the parallelism between the cpu and gpu.
ogl: is my next step in ogl is a little more trickier so i have to take a little more time.
the original concept is Marcos idea, with my little touch to make it even more faster.
what to look for: SPEEEEEDDD :).
please test it a lot and let me know if you see any problem.
in dx9 the code is prepared to fall back to the previous implementation if your card does not support the amount of buffers needed.
So if you did not experience any speed gains you know where is the problem :).
for the ones with more experience and compression of the code please test changing the amount and size of the buffers to tune this for your specific machine.
The current values are the sweet spot for my machine.
All must Thanks Marcos, I hate him for giving good ideas when I'm full of work.
Very useful to compare performance between two builds, check the impact of
a configuration option, etc. FPS log is stored in User/Logs/fps.txt and is
reset each time you launch a game. Only enabled if you check the "Log FPS
to file" option in your graphics settings.
Could be improved a bit: currently logs only every 1s (so you can't really
see small variations), maybe output more infos to the fps.txt like
average/stddev (but Excel/Libreoffice/Google Docs can compute that easily
too).
Super Mario Sunshine is using a cool trick: To determine how much goop has been cleaned in ep. 6 of Sirena Beach, it counts the number of pixels that are input to the blending stage. For that it's using the PE performance registers ;)
Fixes issue 1498.
Reason:
- It's wrong, zcomploc can't be emulated perfectly in HW backends without severely impacting performance.
- It provides virtually no advantages over the previous hack while introducing lots of code.
- There is a better alternative: If people insist on having some sort of valid zcomploc emulation, I suggest rendering each primitive separately while using a _clean_ dual-pass approach to emulate zcomploc.

The GL EFB cache did not clamp correctly the coordinates when computing
the rectangle it needed to cache, leading to negative values being used
as indexes and often crashes.
Fixes issue 5510.
