As an optional feature which can be enabled in the advanced graphics configuration, all pipelines that get built at the initial shader loading are stored in a VkPipelineCache object and are dumped to the disk.
These vendor specific pipeline cache files are located at `/shader/GAME_ID/vulkan_pipelines.bin`. This feature was mainly added because of an issue with the AMD driver (see yuzu-emu#8507) causing invalidation of the cache files the driver builds automatically.
[REUSE] is a specification that aims at making file copyright
information consistent, so that it can be both human and machine
readable. It basically requires that all files have a header containing
copyright and licensing information. When this isn't possible, like
when dealing with binary assets, generated files or embedded third-party
dependencies, it is permitted to insert copyright information in the
`.reuse/dep5` file.
Oh, and it also requires that all the licenses used in the project are
present in the `LICENSES` folder, that's why the diff is so huge.
This can be done automatically with `reuse download --all`.
The `reuse` tool also contains a handy subcommand that analyzes the
project and tells whether or not the project is (still) compliant,
`reuse lint`.
Following REUSE has a few advantages over the current approach:
- Copyright information is easy to access for users / downstream
- Files like `dist/license.md` do not need to exist anymore, as
`.reuse/dep5` is used instead
- `reuse lint` makes it easy to ensure that copyright information of
files like binary assets / images is always accurate and up to date
To add copyright information of files that didn't have it I looked up
who committed what and when, for each file. As yuzu contributors do not
have to sign a CLA or similar I couldn't assume that copyright ownership
was of the "yuzu Emulator Project", so I used the name and/or email of
the commit author instead.

- Avoids new GCC 12 warnings when Type is of form std::optional<T>
- Makes more sense this way, because ranged is not a property which would change over time
The latest git version of GCC has issues with my diamond inheritance
shenanigans. Since that's now two compilers that don't like it I thought
it'd be best to just axe all of it and just have the two templates like
before.
This rolls the features of BasicRangedSetting into BasicSetting, and
likewise RangedSetting into Setting. It also renames them from
BasicSetting and Setting to Setting and SwitchableSetting respectively.
Now longer name corresponds to more complex thing.
Adds an option `-c` or `--config` with one required argument that allows
the user to specify to where the config file is located. Useful for
scripts that run specific games with different preferences for settings.
Inlines implementation of exclusive instructions into JITted code,
improving performance of applications relying heavily on these
instructions.
We also fastmem these instructions for additional speed, with
support for appropriate recompilation on fastmem failure.
An unsafe optimization to disable the intercore global_monitor is also
provided, should one wish to rely solely on cmpxchg semantics for
safety.

Motion inputs were not being read in by the config when yuzu-cmd boots
up. This adds support for those.
While we're at it, make a reference to the current player controls to
improve readability. Also updates the if statements in the Analog and
Button loops with curly braces to keep the style consistent.
Some system configurations may see visual regressions or lower performance using GPU decoding compared to CPU decoding. This setting provides the option for users to specify their decoding preference.

Currently yuzu will read the mapping but does not connect a controller
despite adding subsequent configurations for it. Read the `connected`
setting for now as a boolean like the Qt frontend.
Use VK_KHR_pipeline_executable_properties when enabled and available to
log statistics about the pipeline cache in a game.
For example, this is on Turing GPUs when generating a pipeline cache
from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:
Average pipeline statistics
==========================================
Code size: 6433.167
Register count: 32.939
More advanced results could be presented, at the moment it's just an
average of all 3D and compute pipelines.
This setting is best referred to as a speed limit, as it involves the limits of all timing based aspects of the emulator, not only framerate.
This allows us to differentiate it from the fps unlocker setting.
GLASM is getting good enough that we can move it out of advanced
graphics settings. This removes the setting `use_assembly_shaders`,
opting for a enum class `shader_backend`. This comes with the benefits
that it is extensible for additional shader backends besides GLSL and
GLASM, and this will work better with a QComboBox.
Qt removes the related assembly shader setting from the Advanced
Graphics section and places it as a new QComboBox in the API Settings
group. This will replace the Vulkan device selector when OpenGL is
selected.
Additionally, mark all of the custom anisotropic filtering settings as
"WILL BREAK THINGS", as that is the case with a select few games.
Reverts 48259de0c1a6a1aca77eec31cb8aca5ca2b680dd to the previous
hierarchy and fixes the resolution issue with this fullscreen mode.
yuzu-cmd will now read the fullscreen_mode setting and use it
appropriately.
Many settings in common/settings.h are missing from yuzu-cmd, either
they were added to default_ini.h but not read in, or vice versa, or the
setting was altogether omitted from yuzu-cmd. Some defaults were
reported wrong, so those were fixed where noticed.
Creates a new BasicSettings class in common/settings, and forces setting
a default and label for each setting that uses it in common/settings.
Moves defaults and labels from both frontends into common settings.
Creates a helper function in each frontend to facillitate reading the
settings now with the new default and label properties.
Settings::Setting is also now a subclass of Settings::BasicSetting. Also
adds documentation for both Setting and BasicSetting.
