This can fix a lot of performance issues, like audio crackling and frame
time spikes. This requires the GameMode package to be installed. See:
https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode
This commit adds a "Game Mode" bool option to the "Power
Management" and "Latency" settings sections, and it can be toggled
on/off without restarting RA.
The actual toggling of game mode happens in a new frontend platform
interface function. Perhaps this will become useful for other platforms
that provide some equivalent of Linux GameMode.
Since the GameMode ABI is fixed, and the API comes as a single,
header-only file with no actual deps, we simply bundle the header
(deps/feralgamemode/gamemode_client.h.) That way, all Linux builds will
have support for GameMode regardless of whether the GameMode development
package is installed or not.
* Added setting to allow/disallow players other than the host from pausing the game.
* Added a sublabel for netplay max connections.
* Fixed port override macro from not being set immediately after the port setting.
* Fixed memory leaks.
Adds new entry (where the entry for dumping CD is) to eject the disc -
in case the CD drive has no physical button to eject the disc / the
button does not work. Useless for most, but quality of life improvement
for some.

Pressing the START button removes the device pairing. Useful in case
the device (e.g. gamepad) was paired with a different adapter/computer
and needs to be paired again with current adapter/computer.
To pair again, RetroArch needs to be restarted, so the device list is
populated again.

== DETAILS
So, basically this back-and-forth is because we used fixed-size
data types (i.e. `uint32_t`) which maps to different primitive data
types on different platforms. So `uint32_t` might be a `long` on some
platforms (e.g. Wii U), while it's just a plain integer on others (PC).
And the format specifier works off primitive data type, not data type
size.
So, to resolve this, we:
- keep `%lx` as the format specifier
- cast the parameter to printf to unsigned long
This is better than the alternatives that could cause problems trying to
cast a long down to an int.
== DETAILS
These changes fall into a few broad categories:
1. Explicitly undefine things we want to re-define due to conflicts with
the version of devkitpro we're using
2. Clean up hex format specifiers to use `%lx` or `%lX` when working with
long integers
3. Move variables inside the ifdef they're used in to squelch "unused variable"
messages
4. Add parenthesis to make Wii U shader declarations stop complaining
And then there's a weird "misleading indent" warning that I fixed by just
rewriting a block of code to use a switch statement instead of if-then-else.
These changes work fine on Wii U, but we'll need to keep an eye on CI/CD to see
if other platform builds break.
