## Description of change
Add an option that forces requested refresh rate value for the second
monitor; i.e., instead of 60Hz allow the user to override the adapter to
be 70Hz.
Useful for people who have a touch screen that can't do 60Hz.
I don't know if this would cause any timing issues in IIDX or SDVX, but
it seems to boot and monitor check is unaffected.
## Testing
Tested TDJ And UFC mode with a submonitor that can only do 61Hz.

## Description of change
Turning on Image Resize feature completely tanks performance of Live2D
in some SDVX songs. Add a giant warning next to the UI.
On my system with RTX 4070, Sudden Death is normally a rock solid
120FPS, but drops to 30-40FPS when resizing is on.
* linear filter does not affect this at all
* window resize options also have no effect
It's really just rendering on a larger surface + calling `StretchRect`
that does this.
Additionally, hide the resolution swap option since it sees very low
usage & has potential gotchas likes this.

## Description of change
Apply SOCD cleaner algorithm to deal with the case where both
counter-clockwise and clockwise buttons are pressed at the same time.
In SDVX, default algorithm is to prefer the most recently pressed
direction. This is better for dealing with slams in rapid succession,
for example, as you don't have to completely let go of one direction to
hit the other now.
In IIDX, default algorithm is neutral (same behavior as before). Using
last or first algorithm results in double scratches which means you'll
likely end up with an excessive poor after hitting a scratch, so neutral
is actually beneficial. Besides, if you are serious about playing on the
keyboard, you should be using `TT +/-` and `TT +/- Alternate`.
## Testing
Tested SDVX 3, EG (old cab), EG valk cab modes, IIDX 24, 27, 33

## Description of change
Inspired by the Linux issue above in the fork, cache lstat calls for
thumbnail. IIDX 32 and 33 make a call for this every frame which can
cause significant overhead on Linux.
This is being enabled for all versions and not just the Linux variant of
the executables since it provides some marginal performance gain on
Windows.
## Testing
Tested IIDX 32/33, with the option on/off, and with AVS verbose logging
on/off.
Tested with ifs_layeredfs hook as well just to verify functionality.

## Description of change
If TDJ / VM mode is active AND user is enabled `-monitor` option (and
the value isn't 0, the primary monitor)
then disable the subscreen overlay, show an error message instead.
We're doing this because both games cannot accept emulated touch input
if `-monitor` option is in use. There is not much point in displaying
the second screen's image, other than to REALLY confuse people when
nothing happens when they click on it.
## Testing
Tested both games with `-monitor`.

## Description of change
For IIDX31+, detect if BI2A or BI2X I/O emulation becomes active, and
see if there is a mismatch between the -iidxtdj setting.
Right now a mismatch results in warning in log + deferred error log, but
in the future we could turn this into a fatal error and crash the game
to make it more obvious.
## Testing
Tested 4 combinations:
1. DLL in LDJ mode + -iidxtdj off (pass)
2. DLL in LDJ mode + -iidxtdj on (error)
3. DLL in TDJ mode + -iidxtdj off (error)
4. DLL in TDJ mode + -iidxtdj on (pass)

option to hide it back.
This is to help with cases where people get stuck with being in LDJ mode
when they meant to turn on TDJ.

## Description of change
* Split the MDXF I/O option into three: auto, thread, and backfill.
`auto` is the same as what `thread` used to be before this change (based
on I/O poll rate), but `thread` now always forces thread poll mode.
`auto` is the default (behavior wise, same as before)
* For the poll rate measurement, start polling after 20s mark to avoid
frame drops during game boot
* Minor code clean up
## Testing

Disable camera access by default by setting `CONNECT_CAMERA` environment
var to 0 before launching. This was one of those "required" things
people clicked on, but now it's done automatically to reduce friction
for new users.
On cab setups (i.e., running without -iidx module), cameras will remain
on, unless user overrides it.
On franken setups (partial I/O) - user will need to specify what they
want via the new option, we can't guess correctly.

(this does not fix the issue!)
## Description of change
Add an option to omit `-noCamera` option. Doing so allows the game to
boot and search for a compatible camera using KS API, but will likely
fail since we don't know what cameras are compatible. You end up with a
camera error during boot, which can be ignored by flipping a switch in
the test menu to disable the camera.
No hooks are currently done to make the camera work!
## Testing
Tested to see that turning this on triggers the camera error. No known
camera at the moment.

## Description of change
Add an option for detecting window focus when accepting input.
The new default will be to have the following:
* naive bindings will check for window focus
* rawinput binds are not affected, will continue to be accepted
regardless of focus
Other options (always / never choices) can be picked by the user to
tweak the behavior if needed.
Clean up usage of `0xff` constant to represent invalid naive vkey.
## Testing
Still in progress, especially in regards to performance.
On a i7-9700 system, 10000 calls to `superexit::has_focus()` takes
250-350 microseconds, so this should not be a big deal at all.

## Description of change
For JSON config files of the following features:
* patch manager
* screen resize
* IIDX camera hook
* card manager
when saving a new file, store them in %appdata%\spice2x instead of
%appdata%.
On load:
1. If the JSON file exists in %appdata%\spice2x, use that (new path)
1. If the JSON file exists in %appdata%, continue to use that (legacy
path)
It's common for people to have mixed versions of spicetools/spice2x so
we'll continue to read from the %appdata% root if the files are there,
but with a preference for the new path. We will not forcibly move files.
spicetools.xml will continue to live in the %appdata% root. Moving this
will confuse a lot of people, so I'm avoiding this.
Also, this fixes `-patchcfgpath` and `-resizecfgpath` to create
directories as needed (previously the parent directory must have existed
first)
## Testing
Tested -
* existing config files are continued to be read from %appdata%
* new files get created in %appdata%\spice2x\... (both in spicecfg and
in overlay)
* can provide custom path for `-patchcfgpath` `-resizecfgpath` and
observe directories + file created in custom path, try absolute or local
relative paths

To avoid confusion, temporarily remove `-sdvxlandscape` because of the

## Description of change
Note: this change is not compatible with previous screen resize config;
i.e., if you had the zoom setting dialed into a certain view, after this
change it won't be the same area, so you'll have to set up a scene
again. I think this is a worthwhile cost since the old logic is just
broken in weird ways, and preserving old settings is really tedious math
(for a feature that not many people use). Besides, this change will only
use the new Scenes values from the JSON.
Rewrite the DX9 image scaler logic.
* Previously, the rendering surface was fixed at `4096*4096 px`. Now,
this is relative to the backbuffer dimensions, which depends on the game
& respects user provided `-forceres`.
* Remove "center" option, make it the default.
Above two changes fix the aspect ratio issue (scaling in portrait games
not respecting screen ratio) and things breaking at higher res (1080p
when zoomed out far enough, or when forced to run at 4k resolution for
example)
* Use `scenes` leaf of screen resize JSON config for Scene 1 as well,
completely removing ourselves from being compatible with older spice2x
versions for these values.
* Add additional bounds check before calling `StretchRect` to avoid
users getting stuck with a bad layout, which can kill performance.

## Description of change
Add `SDVX Landscape Mode` option, allowing you to play SDVX in landscape
monitor orientation, with black borders on left and right - similar to
how EAC does it. This is meant to be an alternative to what people do
today, which is launching in windowed mode.
By default, with just `-sdvxlandscape` enabled, EG will launch at
1920x1080 (transposed from the original 1080x1920 resolution).
It is possible to combine with `-forceres` to launch at higher
resolutions. At some point though, when rendering at large resolutions
past 1440p, at some point scaling may break due to #276.
Disabled on 32-bit SDVX since dx9 `CreateDeviceEx` call is required;
`CreateDevice` won't work. For the same reason this isn't being made a
generic option for museca/rb/etc. In theory you can supply
`-sdvxlandscape` to games like IIDX and play landscape games in portrait
mode, although again, scaling my break due to #276.
Also, add new options (bottomleft/right) for subscreen overlay position
so that they don't overlap with the main screen in landscape mode.

🔺
## Testing
Seems to be showing similar results as -windowscale:
* Works GREAT for IIDX/SDVX
* popn launches at correct resolution but only draws a small image (at
native res) - can be scaled with F11 menu
* nostalgia is broken in weird ways, image is drawn correctly but bottom
`credits` text draws at wrong offset, game's wintouch logic broken
(perhaps expectedly)
## Other notes
In theory this could enable "play sdvx in landscape mode" option but the
image scaling doesn't quite work with extreme values.
