27188e102d Support for savestate loading over netplay
Assuming the core supports saving/loading states, and (crucially)
assuming the states are portable across the architectures on both sides
of the connection, Netplay now supports the transmission of savestates.
Right now the frontend doesn't actually send any such requests, as it's
not clear exactly where the code for that should be.

This works in either direction, although I'll admit I have no idea what
happens if they both load at the same time.

96186438ec Remote pausing
Support for remote pausing, and with it, support for Netplay pausing the
frontend correctly. With this patch alone this doesn't work, since
there's no clean way for the frontend to tell Netplay that it's paused.

5edfbeafb0 Switched Netplay over to TCP. A lot of the stalling logic had to change
for this, and in particular, it now sometimes stalls in a way that makes
it very difficult to actually input anything (whoops :) ). Simply
setting the sync frames higher avoids that. With supported cores, this
is incredibly risilient, but when it fails, it mostly fails to freezing,
which is less than ideal.

TODO: Stall frames should be configurable. All the UDP code is still
there but commented out, should be gutted. The original fast-forward
code is now commented out, but really both fast-forward and stalling
should be options; the only complication is that it needs to send
simulated self-input for fast-forward.
