PCSX2 SVN r3320

PCSX2 SVN r3320 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:
r3313
Revert some changes from r3310 -- I forgot that the GS plugin still needs to manage three separate instances of the GIFpath until the MTGS packet reordering system is finished later. (this was my attempt to try and make this change more baby-stepish but it failed).
r3314
Since we're not using MMX registers to hold EE data in the recompilers anymore, we should be safe to exclude them from register saving / storing.
Pretty big speedup in games with lots of GIF activity (Soul Calibur 3 goes from 40 to 48fps).
r3315
SPU2-X:
Revert all reverb area tryouts, caused bleeps in many games (breaking Ys and that shonen jump game, but oh well).
r3316
Implemented a better "host:" rewrite system, which takes the path of the elf being loaded as the root of the virtual "host:". This is the same behaviour as pc-side ps2link clients. The code could probably be cleaned up a lot or made more configurable, if someone wants to improve it.
r3317
I forgot to change one line. Also took the time to set a toggle for this other feature.
r3318
SPU2-X:
- Some preliminary work on better resets. Also some commented out yet changes.
r3319
zzogl-pg: Assorted cleanup. Added ZZoglCRTC.h, to clean up some clutter in ZZoglCRTC.cpp.
r3320
Correct handling of FINISH events on the GIFpath; the FINISH is not posted until *after* all GIFpaths have been drained (nloop is 0 and EOP is 1). This fixes Ys6 bootup hangs.

Note: I'm reasonably sure this is the correct implementation for FINISH. There's a *good* chance this could cause regressions in some other games that use PATH3 or other DMA tricks. This will likely be due to hacks or bugs in the GIF/VIF dma code, and not FINISH. That is, we've been catering to a broken FINISH tag this entire time -- basically telling games the GS paths are clear when they're not. ;)
