`PreferenceSettings` was removed in favor of:
* `AppSettings`: stores general purpose settings mostly used for UI configuration and state
* `EmulationSettings`: stores emulation-related settings, most of these are passed to native emulation code
This commit reverts PR #2037. Passing `NativeSettings` to emulation code through a member reference, instead of a local variable, caused unpredictable crashes when using custom GPU drivers (v615+) on some Qualcomm SoCs.
The exact cause of the issue remains unknown, my best guess is that it was caused by an incorrect optimization performed on the Kotlin bytecode in release mode, which caused an issue when reading memory that had been forked, because of running emulation in a separate process.
Runtime settings modification will be reimplemented in the future via an alternative method.
Indirect layers are used by the game to render layer on its own, the game allocates a buffer with the size from `GetIndirectLayerImageRequiredMemoryInfo` and uses `GetIndirectLayerImageMap` to draw the applet contents into the buffer.
As we don't LLE applet implementations nor do our HLE implementations draw equivalent applets, we cannot submit this to the guest. As a result, these functions are stubbed with the framebuffer being cleared to red.
Stubbing these functions allows titles such as Dark Souls to not crash while initializing indirect layers.
Accessing the settings class during the execution of the `OnChangedCallback` results in a deadlock, as accesses to values are protected by a mutex. Instead, we now keep a local copy of the relevant settings and update those with the new value.
I missed that addSubpass was only called once-per-subpass, meaning that if a new barrier req was discovered several draws into the RP it wouldn't be applied. Split out barriers into a seperate function to avoid this.
Full pipeline barriers between every RP can be extremely expensive on HW, by analysing the inputs and outputs of a draw it's possible to construct a much more optimal barrier that only syncs what is neccessary.
Sometimes view pointers may change despite the underlying Vulkan image view not actually changing, so use vk::ImageViews for tracking to keep RP breaks to a minimum.
The layer stride provided by the depth register in Maxwell3D needs to be shifted by 2, this caused the stride to be 1/4th of what it needed to be resulting in OOB access.
When calculating mip-level dimensions in terms of GOBs, they need to be divided by 2 while rounding upwards rather than downwards. This fixes corrupted textures and OOB access on lower mip levels across a substantial amount of titles, reducing arbitrary crashes as a result.

Since we align up when allocating, not doing so when deallocating would result in a gradual buildup of boundary pages that eventually fill the whole address space.
These are about 100x as expensive on adreno than nvidia due to the lack of a dedicated instruction, since some games work fine without them add a hack to disable them.
The vulkan guest driver doesn't expect a 0xB return code from SyncptEventWait, even though this is valid when an event is being signalled. Just ignore the intermediate state instead as doing so avoids races without causing any more.
The excessive blocking caused by initial compilation happening async to the guest caused issues in some cases, now we have a Vulkan pipeline cache to speed it up we can wait for a full compile before launch without too many issues.
By only using what we need, and mirroring the descriptor structs to allow for much tighter packing (while keeping the same member names) we can reduce pipeline memory to about 1/3 of what it was before.
Certain titles such as Super Smash Bros Ultimate can use SVC `UnmapPhysicalMemory` to punch holes into physical memory mappings, this wasn't handled correctly as we completely deleted the portion after the hole. It has now been fixed which results in these titles which depend on this behavior to work now.
Since the waitermutex is only ever locked for a short amount of time, spinning in contention-heavy scenarios ends up quite a bit more efficient than a kernel wait.
This removes the need to concatenate the variable multiple times, recycles the scaled bitmap after it has been stored, addresses the Android Studio complaint about that method name, and generates a preview of the current profile image as the preference icon.
