PCSX2 SVN r3276

PCSX2 SVN r3276 is released. PCSX2 is an open source 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:
r3272
[cmake]
* Fix again a stupid things...

Summary of fixes
Games
- Resident Evil Dead Aim flickering graphics fixed.
- Flatout games should now boot everytime (instead of randomly)
- Sega Superstar Tennis flashing fixed
- Destruction Derby graphics fixed (NTSC confirmed, PAL unsure)
- Tenchu Fatal Shadows flickering textures fixed, Issue 748
- Spyro Hero's Tail should boot again, Issue 746

General Info
- General reworking of the GS paths with all paths prioritizing more correctly.
- XGKICK can stall if another GS transfer is in progress
- Major reworking of Path3 masking, could still be combined with normal Path3 transfers, but lets get it working first :P
- Taken in to account a few conditions which could have caused VIF to lock up/crash when stalling on ends.
- Unreversed GIF and SPR and VIF so its the normal way round
- all DMA paths should now resume correctly after being stopped by hardware
- GIF FIFO now actually transfers stuff :P
- VIF CMD's simulated by the length of the interrupts at the end.

Phew, i think that's everything :S
r3275
Removed the TestOnly parameter on the MTGS packet sender, and replaced it with a direct call to GIFPath_ParseTag. Simpler, more efficient, and avoids constant assertion failures when running PCSX2 in debug mode. :D
r3276
Fix patch application, which I broke in r3273. :)

DevNote: Adding SysForwardDefs.h, which I'm going to use for forward declaring a bunch of PCSX2 classes and other simple dependency-free include content. This is the SysCore version of AppForwardDefs, and hopefully helps minimize header file hell.
