bicarus-dev 1dfcf8c087 ddr: check for common DLL errors (#355)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
#345 

## Description of change
Check if the path to codecs directory contains non-ASCII characters, and
display a giant warning. This is to help with troubleshooting, since
registration of xactengine silently fails (creates a bad registry entry)
if the path contains non-ASCII chars.

Log the size of codec DLLs, and log any failures from `regsvr32`.

Detect the case where user specified `-exec gamemdx.dll` for DDR which
seems to be a common pitfall. This doesn't work because gamemdx.dll does
not have a DLL entry, but for some reason people are really tempted to
do this.

## Testing
Validated the error cases.

bicarus-dev f6b63473a0 ddr: automatically register codecs on launch (#351)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
#345 

## Description of change
On launch of spice.exe / spice64.exe, call `regsvr32` on known codecs in
the `com` directory.

Add an option to skip this (`-ddrnocodec`) as a chicken bit.

## Testing
Tested 32 and 64 bit DDR.
