Fixes a crash that could occur if the static constructor function for
the MainSettings.cpp TU happened to run before the variables in
Common/Version.cpp are initialised. (This is known as the static
initialisation order fiasco.)
By using wrapper functions, those variables are now guaranteed to be
constructed on first use.
This extends the timeout to 30 seconds, so users who have brief
connection issues won't be so swiftly disconnected, allowing the
NetPlay session to continue.
This is done entirely through interpreter fallbacks. It would
probably be possible to implement this using host exception
handlers instead, but I think it would be a lot of complexity
for a rarely used feature, so let's not do it for now.
For performance reasons, there are two settings for this feature:
One setting which does enables just what True Crime: New York City
needs and one setting which enables it all. The latter makes
almost all float instructions fall back to the interpreter.
Now that we have enum helpers for inserting values into packets and have
migrated all other enumerations over, there's no need to keep this alias
around any longer.
This actually eliminates any setting pertaining to SD cards from the
NetPlay dialog, as it would effectively just be a duplicate of the
setting in the Wii pane, potentially causing confusion.
This also enables save data writing by default, as this is probably
what most players want, and should avoid them losing hours of progress
because they forgot to tick a checkbox.

When I added the software FMA path in 2c38d64 and made us use
it when determinism is enabled, I was assuming that either the
performance impact of software FMA wouldn't be too large or CPUs
that were too old to have FMA instructions were too slow to run
Dolphin well anyway. This was wrong. To give an example, the
netplay performance went from 60 FPS to 30 FPS in one case.
This change makes netplay clients negotiate whether FMA should
be used. If all clients use an x64 CPU that supports FMA, or
AArch64, then FMA is enabled, and otherwise FMA is disabled.
In other words, we sacrifice accuracy if needed to avoid massive
slowdown, but not otherwise. When not using netplay, whether to
enable FMA is simply based on whether the host CPU supports it.
The only remaining case where the software FMA path gets used
under normal circumstances is when an input recording is created
on a CPU with FMA support and then played back on a CPU without.
This is not an especially common scenario (though it can happen),
and TASers are generally less picky about performance and more
picky about accuracy than other users anyway.
With this change, FMA desyncs are avoided between AArch64 and
modern x64 CPUs (unlike before 2c38d64), but we do get FMA
desyncs between AArch64 and old x64 CPUs (like before 2c38d64).
This desync can be avoided by adding a non-FMA path to JitArm64 as
an option, which I will wait with for another pull request so that
we can get the performance regression fixed as quickly as possible.
