PCSX2 SVN r2250

PCSX2 SVN r2250 is released.PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.

PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
r2242
Added AtomicBitTestAndReset() to thread tools and added a Normalize helper to 'Path' namespace.
r2243
MTGS Optimization! Implemented EEcore thread sleeping and signaling. [as always:
MTGS changes are experimental, and need testing to isolate potential thread sync bugs, which are usually quite random in nature]
Important Notes: I designed the new MTGS to largely favor speed on GS intensive scenes, at the possible cost of some speed loss on scenes that do very little GS work (simple boring menus, mostly). The idea is that losing 5-10% on a menu screen that already runs *really* fast is a valid trade off for possibly gaining a few FPS for in-game scenes (especially slow ones that need it most). So don't benchmark this thing on game menus and expect it to be faster.
The new MTGS also has several other benefits that do not currently reflect well in benchmarking:
* It renders only two frames ahead instead of 8. This is great for fixing laggy input problems, but bad for benchmarking. If the new MTGS manages the same speed while having lost the queued frames count, it's a sizable achievement.
* It works a lot nicer with the GSdx software rasterizer in general.
* It's new design will work nicer with future DX11 multithreaded features, when supported.
r2244
Change an assert not to be fatal, to prevent a few games from dying if skipping the bios in dev mode.
r2245
MTGS sync bugfix, and remove some console spam caused by a last sectond addition to my prev commit.
r2246
MTGS sync fixes (thanks XS2, for being such an MTGS bitch)
r2247
Couple more MTGS sync fixes, and some final optimizations.
r2248
GSdx:
- Removed the outer pixel cropping, it causes blur in some games. (I knew I should've done it elsewhere :p )
r2249
GSdx: Turn of the spam :p
r2250
More MTGS optimizations.
