Pcsx2 now has a gifUnit class which acts like the ps2's gif and executes a single gif transfer at a time (and performs path arbitration according to priority and path3 slicing).
This new code is generally a speedup for most games. Particularly VU heavy games like GoW.
This revision breaks old saved state compatibility so don't update if you wish to keep playing with your old saved states.
Leave comments if this revision fixes or breaks anything...
Message to GS Plugin authors:
This new code now uses only 1 gif callback to transfer data to the gs plugin (GSgifTransfer).
pcsx2 also is garaunteed to send full GS primitives to the plugin. So you don't have to account for partial-transfers anymore.
Thanks goes out to shadowlady who tested around 500 games for me :D
Note 1: The old gif code is still in this revision, and can be enabled by the USE_OLD_GIF macro. The old code will be deleted soon.
Note 2: This revision also enables assertion dialogs in devel builds, and changed a lot of assume cases into assertions.

I also re-implemented R5900 runtime exception handling for TLB Miss and such (devbuilds only, for now).

* Fixed several obscure deadlock issues.
* Savestate actions block; such that only one load or save is permitted at a time.
* Savestates now work through temp files, so that the existing file is not corrupted in case errors occur.
* Exiting the emu while a savestate is saving will still save the state before completely quitting.
* Plugin init errors are handled more gracefully.
Developer Notes:
* Added some event diagnostic trace logging stuff.
* More preliminary work on memorycards -- moved them to their own dialog box and started implementing things, but still a lot of work to do before it's ready for use.

* Added versioning info to savestates! (along with some other bugfixes)
* Simplified the Boot and System menus -- removed the old Skip BIOS hack and replaced it with the new BOOT2 injection method (which is considered hack-free at this time).
* Removed lots of UI deadlock gotchas.
* Some new confirmation dialogs and better error handling.
* Implemented an exclusive SysExecutor thread, which serves the purpose of executing system/VM commands and events in uninterrupted order (including suspend, resume, savestates, etc.)
* ... and probably broke linux!

* Likely fix for various plugin configuration button hangs/crashes.
* Worked on the new GS window text label stuff a bit more (still needs more tho)
Devel Note:
* Lots of code cleanups regarding app message handling
* Added wxAppWithHelpers.cpp/h files (linux projects need updated but too tired.. >_<)

* Configuration panels are all modal-less now, so that you can open the config panel and leave it open while running games.
* Handful of thread sync improvements.
* Fixed on-the-fly interpreter/recompiler configuration.
* Fixed plugin hotswapping (mostly works, but still a little funny at times)
* All new assertion dialogs and popup message handlers.
* RecentIsoList defaults to 12 instead of 6
Dev Notes:
* I had to create a new set of assertion functions called pxAssume*. Originally I hoped to avoid that complexity, and just use a single one-assert-fits-all case, but turned out blanketly using __assume() for all assertion cases wasn't reliable.
* wxGuiTools: Replaced the operator, with operator& -- the latter has proper order of precedence, the former required () to scope correctly. >_<

Renamed a bunch of functions/methods in the Threading namespace that have been bugging me for a while. (MutexLock is renamed to Mutex, Lock() is renamed to Aquire(), etc)

* Exception/Signal handling now uses an EventSource, so that multiple handlers can be registered. This is in preparation for (eventual) more complete MIPS TLB support in the VTLB memory model.
* Improved code isolation, so that recompiler-specific code is primarily in iR5900-32.cpp (cleans up Counters.cpp and SysCoreThread.cpp)
