It was reported that this method causes crashes on certain Linux decoding backends, hence the check to avoid it.

This subsequently caused Windows GPU decoders to never be selected and always fall back to CPU decoding, disable the check on Windows for now.

BufferCache: Find direction of the stream buffer increase.

dynarmic: Accelerate SHA256 and implement for A32 frontend

 * Implements hardware acceleration for SHA256 instructions.
 * Adds SHA256 instructions introduced in ARMv8 to A32 frontend.
 * Implements polyfill for processors that do not support hardware
   accelerated SHA instructions.

vk_texture_cache: Do not reinterpret DepthStencil source images

texture_cache: Amend unintended bitwise OR in SynchronizeAliases

KHandleTable: Optimize table entry layout

.ci/build-msvc: Disable YUZU_TESTS cmake variable

yuzu_cmd: Allow user to specify config file location

bsd: Allow inexact match for address length in AcceptImpl

general: Reduce core.h includes

Since the handle type is not being used, we can reduce the amount of space each entry takes up by 4 bytes.

Fixes star pointer interactions in Super Mario Galaxy on some drivers, notably Nvidia.

Add shader support for const buffer indirect addressing

Vulkan: convert S8D24 <-> ABGR8

applet: mii: Simple implementation of mii applet

Kernel Memory Updates (Part 6): Use guest memory for slab heaps & update TLS.

maxwell_3d: Implement a safer CB data upload

default_ini: List use_extended_memory_layout in default config file

Minecraft passes in zero for length, but this should account for all possible cases

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.

build(cmake): fix missing Qt5::DBus link target for bundled linux package

- Fixes a crash where on subsequent boots, long-lived host threads would have their dummy threads freed.

- It is not impossible to leak kernel objects, so this is not really any issue anymore (albeit, still interesting).

core: hle: kernel: Make object list container global and ensure it is reset on each emulation session.

- These are now allocated/managed by emulated memory, so we do not need to track and free them on shutdown.
