bicarus e59a50b64c popn: boot with 3 monitors (#636)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#618 

## Description of change
Take the monitor hooks added for IIDX/SDVX #612 and apply it to popn as
well now that popn has a subscreen.

There is a debug option in game that actually uses three monitors, which
can be activated via hex edits. This will prevent that from working.

## Testing
Tested with 3 monitors, fs and windowed.

bicarus 2042b629e9 popn: allow game to launch on PCs with only one monitor (#633)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#618 

## Description of change
The game insists on having two monitors. Hook various DX9 and Win32
monitor APIs to fake a monitor if the user only has one. This correctly
convinces the game that it needs to draw two screens instead of just
one.

## Testing
WIP

bicarus b281517429 popn: hook DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo to allow for any GPU port to be used for monitor, get past I/O check (#622)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#618 

## Description of change
The game expects the main display to be *not* HDMI, and at port 2.

Hooking DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo allows us to boot the game on any
monitor.

Add basic I/O hook. It gets stuck in `USB I/O Checking...` for a couple
minutes but it'll eventually skip and boot to title screen.

## Testing
ugh.

bicarus 45debeb5c9 iidx, sdvx: booting fullscreen with three or more monitors (#612)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#345 

Hoping that #180 is also addressed by this change, but I can't test it.

## Description of change

IIDX (TDJ) and SDVX (Valk) will now be able to boot in full screen even
with 3 or more monitors attached.

spice will "hide" from the game any monitors other than the primary
monitor and one other monitor for subscreen, allowing it to boot without
crashing - accomplished by clearing `DISPLAY_DEVICE_ATTACHED_TO_DESKTOP`
flag when monitors are enumerated over `EnumDisplayDevicesA`, and
fortunately both games seem to respect that flag.

Add options (one for IIDX, another for SDVX) that lets you specify the
monitor ID of the second monitor.

When the option is set, user-specified monitor will be used as the
subscreen. When the option is not set, spice will just pick the
lowest-indexed monitor as the subscreen, not counting the primary one of
course.

## Testing
Tested both games with three monitors. Should probably work for four or
more.

Will e452734bc1 Build a WinXP compatible version of Spice (#611)
This was a lot more background work than expected, but that is the
nature of unnecessary hobbies I guess. Most things in here are obvious,
so here's the non-obvious thoughts and notes:

1. All the XP stuff is optional, if the toolchain isn't available it
won't even try
2. The docker build is the "known good" build and now has all the
required tools for XP and checking binaries
a. If you're OK with it, can add the XP_MUST_BUILD flag to
build_docker.sh
4. New `SPICE_XP` flag to comment out blocks
5. We could technically build using the Docker image I've made for my XP
compatible LLVM toolchain, but combining the binaries into a single zip
at the end of it is somewhat tedious, so I've chosen to grab the
binaries from my release
6. I also wrote a DLL checker to make sure the final binaries are
_actually_ XP compatible, which found some issues on x86_64 (I don't
know a single game that runs on 64 bit XP, but it wasn't too much effort
so whatever). This also won't run if missing, just to save the trouble.
7. The build script is still pretty shit, I've made some minor
improvements
  a. `/usr/bin/env bash` instead of `/bin/bash` as it's more correct
  b. Adding `-it` to the docker build, so Ctrl+C actually halts it
c. Main issue is that failures don't halt, because of the custom error
catching function. This has caused a lot of frustration, maybe we can
change that

## Testing
It runs on 32 and 64 bit installs of XP. My jubeat cab is on Win10 these
days and I haven't got around to testing an actual game, but I've
distributed test builds of this to people who *have* confirmed it works
as expected.

bicarus ee3fa58bfa graphics: option to change primary monitor before launching game (#608)
## Description of change

Adds `-mainmonitor` option which changes the monitor layout before
launching the game. This is much more reliable than the old `-monitor`
option which operated at DX9 level. This works for TDJ/UFC subscreens,
for example.

Rename `-monitor` option to `-dx9mainadapter` to discourage use.
`-monitor` will continue to work, of course.

Changing of primary monitor happens first before any orientation changes
/ refresh rate changes, which means those options will result in the
logically correct configuration.

Create a new option category for `Monitor` (rotate, refresh rate, etc).

Add a monitor selection widget for `-mainmonitor` option in the
configurator.

Improve how we log names of monitors in the log during boot - should be
less of "Generic PnP Monitor" after this.
