This commit removes early placeholders for an implementation of async nvdec. With recent changes to the source code, the placeholders are no longer accurate, and can cause a nullptr dereference due to the nature of the cdma_pusher lifetime.
Instead of using a two step initialization to report errors, initialize
the GPU renderer and rasterizer on the constructor and report errors
through std::runtime_error.
This commit aims to implement the NVDEC (Nvidia Decoder) functionality, with video frame decoding being handled by the FFmpeg library.
The process begins with Ioctl commands being sent to the NVDEC and VIC (Video Image Composer) emulated devices. These allocate the necessary GPU buffers for the frame data, along with providing information on the incoming video data. A Submit command then signals the GPU to process and decode the frame data.
To decode the frame, the respective codec's header must be manually composed from the information provided by NVDEC, then sent with the raw frame data to the ffmpeg library.
Currently, H264 and VP9 are supported, with VP9 having some minor artifacting issues related mainly to the reference frame composition in its uncompressed header.
Async GPU is not properly implemented at the moment.

Changes the GraphicsContext to be managed by the GPU core. This
eliminates the need for the frontends to fool around with tricky
MakeCurrent/DoneCurrent calls that are dependent on the settings (such
as async gpu option).
This also refactors out the need to use QWidget::fromWindowContainer as
that caused issues with focus and input handling. Now we use a regular
QWidget and just access the native windowHandle() directly.
Another change is removing the debug tool setting in FrameMailbox.
Instead of trying to block the frontend until a new frame is ready, the
core will now take over presentation and draw directly to the window if
the renderer detects that its hooked by NSight or RenderDoc
Lastly, since it was in the way, I removed ScopeAcquireWindowContext and
replaced it with a simple subclass in GraphicsContext that achieves the
same result
This commit uses guest fences on vSync event instead of an articial fake
fence we had.
It also corrects to keep signaling display events while loading the game
as the OS is suppose to send buffers to vSync during that time.
std::move within a copy constructor (on a data member that isn't
mutable) will always result in a copy. Because of that, the behavior of
this copy constructor is identical to the one that would be generated
automatically by the compiler, so we can remove it.
Like with CPU emulation, we generally don't want to fire off the threads
immediately after the relevant classes are initialized, we want to do
this after all necessary data is done loading first.
This splits the thread creation into its own interface member function
to allow controlling when these threads in particular get created.
Since C++17, the introduction of deduction guides for locking facilities
means that we no longer need to hardcode the mutex type into the locks
themselves, making it easier to switch mutex types, should it ever be
necessary in the future.
The pusher instance is only ever used in the constructor of the
ThreadManager for creating the thread that the ThreadManager instance
contains. Aside from that, the member is unused, so it can be removed.
