Our Vulkan backend inserts image barriers when a texture is sampled after it is rendered. This is done via a "modification flag" which is set when a render target is unbound (presuming that a texture has finished drawing to it).
Imagine the following scenario:
- Game sets render target to texture A
- Game renders to texture A
- (render pass ends)
- Game binds texture A to a sampler
- Game sets render target to texture B
- Renders to texture B using texture A (barrier required)
Because of the previous behaviour, the check to add a barrier for sampling a texture actually happens before it is registered as modified, meaning no barrier was added at all. This isn't always the case, but it was definitely causing issues in Xenoblade 2.
This doesn't fix any more complicated issues where a texture is repeatedly sampled while it is currently being rendered.
Fixes visual glitches at lower resolutions in Xenoblade 2. May fix other cases.

* Remove copy&paste sins
* ava: Leave a little more room between the options
* gtk: Fix hide cursor issues
* ava: Only hide cursor if it's within the embedded window
* GPU: Keep sampled textures without any pool references alive
Occasionally games are very wasteful and clear/write to a texture without ever sampling it. As rendered textures in NVN games seem to all have overlapping memory ranges, the texture will eventually get overwritten.
Normally, this would trigger a removal from the auto delete cache, but a pool entry would keep the texture alive. However, with these textures that are never used, they will get deleted immediately and recreated on the next frame.
This change makes it so the ShortTextureCache can keep textures that have naver had a pool reference alive for a few frames, so they're not constantly being created and deleted.
This improves performance in Zelda BOTW a little.

* GPU: Fix errors handling texture remapping
- Fixes an error where a pool entry and memory mapping changing at the same time could cause a texture to rebind its data from the wrong GPU VA (data swaps)
- Fixes an error where the texture pool could act on a mapping change before the mapping has actually been changed ("Unmapped" event happens before change, we need to signal it changed _after_ it completes)

* Vulkan: add situational "Fast Flush" mode
The AutoFlushCounter class was added to periodically flush Vulkan command buffers throughout a frame, which reduces latency to the GPU as commands are submitted and processed much sooner. This was done by allowing command buffers to flush when framebuffer attachments changed.
However, some games have incredibly long render passes with a large number of draws, and really aggressive data access that forces GPU sync.
The Vulkan backend could potentially end up building a single command buffer for 4-5ms if a pass has enough draws, such as in BOTW. In the scenario where sync is waited on immediately after submission, this would have to wait for the completion of a much longer command buffer than usual.
The solution is to force command buffer submission periodically in a "fast flush" mode. This will end up splitting render passes, but it will only enable if sync is aggressive enough.
This should improve performance in GPU limited scenarios, or in games that aggressively wait on synchronization. In some games, it may only kick in when res scaling. It won't trigger in games like SMO where sync is not an issue.
Improves performance in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet (res scaled) and BOTW (in general).
* Add conversions in milliseconds next to flush timers.
* ARMeilleure: Move TPIDR_EL0 and TPIDRRO_EL0 to NativeContext
Some games access these system registers several tens of thousands of times in a second from many different threads. While this isn't really crippling, it is a lot of wasted time spent in a reverse pinvoke transition.
Example games are Pokemon Scarlet/Violet and BOTW. These games have a lot of different potential bottlenecks so it's unlikely you will see a consistent improvement, but it definitely disappears from the cpu profile.
* Remove unreachable code.
* Add ulong conversion for offsets
* Nit
This seems to have been removed by the Post-Processing PR, but it is required for the display in OBS to be the right way up and properly scaled.
I've tested this with AA and FSR on MK8D and it seems to behave properly. Testing is welcome.
