similar issue as #499
## Description of change
Fix broken bi2x_hook implementations that did not properly allocate I/O
buffers with correct sizes.
People keep copy-pasting other implementation that allocate 0 bytes of
memory, but we run the risk of memory corruption or/or game crashes if
we keep doing this.
We've seen some mystery crashes with CCJ for example, maybe this will
fix that.
While I'm here, implement SOCD cleaner for Polaris Chord.
## Testing
Tested I/O menu with CCJ, play through tutorial (didn't test matches)
Tested GWDelta (test menu and a few songs in guitar)
Tested PC (played a credit)
Tested QKS (still can't get past the title screen)

## Description of change
This is a work in progress.
What works:
- [x] subscreen overlay shows the touch screen image (in windowed mode)
- [x] touch works in the overlay
- [x] only the main window is shown, other windows are not launched
What doesn't:
- [ ] game occasionally crashes when entering test menu?
- [ ] full screen mode is not tested at all due to monitor requirements
- [ ] need more polish (various options to control the behavior)
## Description of change
Add coin handling to SDVX BI2X. I also tried to populate the structs as
best I could.
## Testing
Tested via running spice2x on EG final, using F1 to insert coins.

Fixes#512
## Description of change
Fix digital wailing not being recognized consistently.
Also address the fact that wailing was completely broken when lefty mode
was on. This requires a new option that the user needs to check off in
the configurator since we can't magically guess if the user is holding
the guitar in lefty mode.
- [x] fix downward wail
- [x] digital lefty mode
- [x] implement all of this for arena model i/o
- [x] test dx cab 2p
- [x] lefty toggle in overlay
- [x] fix analog not working for 2p guitar
- [ ] analog lefty mode?

## 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
(tdj/ldj)

see my previous attempt #496, which has been reverted by #500
## Description of change
Two issues:
1. the original implementation of bi2x_hook for iidx misunderstood what
`aioNMgrIob2_Create` does. In the original I/O code it returns a pointer
to a C++ class instance, which would also have a vptr (pointer to a
vtable) in the beginning. The original author of this code of the hook
in spice thought that `aioNMgrIob2_Create` returns a pointer to a
pointer. This may happen to work but it's not 100% accurate, so this has
been fixed by separating out the class and the vtable allocation.
Without this, the game could have accessed memory outside this buffer.
2. And then the SDVX implementation blindly copy-pasted the IIDX
`bi2x_hook`. Along with the issue above, they also forgot to check the
I/O DLLs to see how much memory needs to be allocated and change that.
Instead, they kept the same value as IIDX, which was too small. Fix that
as well.
## Testing
Doing some extensive testing with IIDX (27-33) and SDVX versions (EG).

## Description of change
Both games take the address returned by `aioNMgrIob2_Create` and reads
values offset from that address as part of the I/O routine. This means
that the I/O routines of these games have been accessing random
variables in data/bss segments for years, they just happened to get a
value that doesn't lead to a crash.
Stumbled upon this while trying to add a new feature that required
adding more globals, but suddenly the game stopped polling I/O when I
changed a value of my global. Scary.
## Testing
Tested both games I/O

SDVX EG final started to pick an ASIO driver at random and tries to open
it, which causes crashes / hangs if the driver is not compatible

Only allow the game to access `HKLM\SOFTWARE\ASIO` if the user has a
Xonar AE, or if ASIO was configured using -sdvxasio.

## 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)

## Description of change
Added `Sleep(4)` call to regulate how fast the `device_io` function will
call `getState` for each button. The panel buttons were commented out
because those are handled by the MDXF Control Status Buffer functions
anyways, so the work was redundant. It's also why the timing precision
from this function doesn't matter, so it can afford a longer sleep
## Testing
- Verified IO still functions properly
- Verified decrease in overall CPU usage

## Description of change
When touch monitors send touch area size information
(`TOUCHEVENTFMASK_CONTACTAREA` flag and `cxContact` / `cyContact` fields
of `TOUCHINPUT` struct) from `GetTouchInputInfo`, IIDX gets confused and
does some unexpected things when interacting with the subscreen.
As a workaround, hook `GetTouchInputInfo` and clear out the flag &
values.
This is only done for IIDX AND when -iidxnativetouch is on.
## Testing
Tested on a Dell touch monitor, simulating "bad" values.

## Description of change
Warn user via warning message in log + auto-troubleshooter entry when
-monitor option is used in full screen with TDJ and UFC mode.
This covers yet another case where TDJ subscreen does not respond to
mouse clicks (because the game expects them to come through the primary
display). For UFC, -monitor usually results in a failure to create DX
adapter.
## Testing
Manual verification with TDJ/UFC modes and two monitors.

## Description of change
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.
