This is used as a base pointer inside CustomPipelineAction, so this
should probably really have a virtual destructor to ensure derived
objects are torn down properly.
The point of farcode is to provide a separate location for code that
rarely runs, so that it doesn't pollute the icache. Taking a conditional
branch is something that happens very often, so the code for that
shouldn't be in farcode.

On macOS 13.6 / Intel HD 5000, Dolphin crashes with this message:
> -[MTLIGAccelDevice setShouldMaximizeConcurrentCompilation:]: unrecognized selector
This should be available on all macOS 13.3+ systems – but when using OCLP drivers,
some devices use an older version of Metal.framework, which doesn't expose the selector.
This concerns Intel Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Nvidia Kepler when using OCLP on macOS 13.3
or newer.

As the behavior is an optional optimization anyway, perform a dynamic
detection to avoid crashing if the feature is not available.
Some state changes are meant to be near instantanoues, before switching to something else. By reporting ithe instant switch, the UI will flicker between states (pause/play button) and the debugger will unnecessarily update. Skipping the callback avoids these issues.
This was implemented to prevent UI flickering due to the state rapidly switching between pause/play. Recently, it has been causing issues with debugger windows, which update during frame advance.
This way, the number of loop iterations is equal to the number of set
bits in the bitset rather than the number of bits in the bitset,
which is a good improvement because usually very few bits are set.
This caused us to update the indirect texture information in shaders more often than we needed to, which probably doesn't matter in practice since it's only used in ubershaders and copyyscale and stride are generally only updated before EFB/XFB copies, which generally will have other changes afterwards.
As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with the mipmap/half_scale functionality, but does change based on the width of the destination texture (and the destination texture is half the width if half_scale is set). The comment that was there (which dates back to the initial megacommit) seems to not have accounted for the width aspect; it was first used as an actual stride in bbbe898839467c312c31456334540c20fedc7be3 (the first commit that used it at all).
