## 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.

Regressed by #401
## Description of change
Two things from testing SDVX Live2D -
1. ColorFill is almost always too expensive and will lead to drops
1. Scale factor of 0.5 causes GPU to sync and causes drops
(ARGB/XRGB doesn't matter, linear filtering doesn't matter)
1 is fixed by removing ColorFill calls on every frame - instead only do
this once when the user changes the duplicate option (on the next frame)
2 is fixed by updating the UI (limit the slider) though people can
ctrl+click to override these slider limits.
The warning label will be kept with slightly reworded text.
## Testing
tested in sdvx eg final (sudden death) - on my RTX 4070, my FPS is rock
solid 120 fps even with image resize on now.

## 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

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

## 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

## 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)

#452
## 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
* 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

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.

## Description of change
(Another extension of #450)
Merged the old threading implementation into the current backfill
implementation because it was showing signs of having slightly better
timing performance. The following description is taken from the
strikethrough text from the referenced PR above:
>When the module is booted, it counts how many times
ac_io_mdxf_update_control_status_buffer was called in the first three
seconds, then calculates the approximate refresh rate of the current
game instance. If the refresh rate is under THRESHOLD_REFRESH_RATE
(120Hz), a low-priority thread dedicated to inserting polls into the
ring buffers is started and run at THREAD_REFRESH_RATE_HZ (125Hz).
Combined with the polls inserted by the main arkmdxp4 thread and
rawinput real-time events, the 125Hz update cadence is enough to bring
the span of poll history represented by the ring buffers closer to
parity with what arkmdxp4 expects.
The default mode is `THREAD_MODE` but can be switched to `BACKFILL_MODE`
(which could possibly be made as a `spicecfg` option).
There was also a fixed bug in the `ac_io_mdxf_get_control_status_buffer`
function, which should not have been writing to the `head` pointer. This
was allowing for an edge case situation where the `head` pointer was
advanced in another thread then rewound back to the previous `head` in
this thread. The real implementation only reads the pointer and returns
it.
## Testing
- Logged the ring buffer states after many iterations and verified
regular structure
- Same playtesting as the prior PRs
