This insufferable work tries to cover some holes on previous threading implementation from yuzu's team, starting with Windows and Linux reordering of priorities (NICE), reworks previous Android's threading and cpu affinity with adpf, adjust emulated clocks/gpu for better "accuracy" with their work, bumps android minSDK for all flavors, legacy will now work with AP 29 to cover A10 - A12, standard will reach A13 as base and finally the optimized build will come with API 35, mostly targeted on devices with A15 support and newer, NDK and AGP wasn't upgraded yet. The performance cost efficiency have been improved based on device power configuration; preventing overheating if certain devices tended to fall into NICE0 (not allocated threads priority, all task ran with higher priority, 11 tasks running within the limited 2 - 7 threads available on the most common configuration 1x3x4 or 1x4x3).

This is an adjustment made due to problems caused by my ASTC changes some pr's earlier; added sanity to decoded blocks, removes the inconditional storage view for ASTC formats (verified against MaxwellToVk logic), added support to VK_EXT_astc_decode_mode which will ensure a better way to resolve RGFA16/RGFA32 on tilers, simplified ASTC HDR decoding into LDR valid formats.
This fixes some issues with SteamDeck, Fire Emblem: Engage washed colors and other problems related to ASTC.

Based on the register of the ASTC implementation from Ameerj (yuzu), currently our conversion from ASTC on Desktop tends to duplicates the unpacking of ASTC converted textures, leading to bad performance; since there are some graphical effects that actually access on the band of 32bits (RGAF32) than the common 16bits (RGAF16) from our ASTC path decoding method, which commonly uses ARGB8 (degradation -> LDR) transformation to reduce the memory cost per conversion; meanwhile it could actually provide initially better performance; the engine tended to get stalled when this writted stage effect got skipped; mostly because CPU tends to look for an unimplemented texture/ format query (from which doesn't exist on our MaxwellToVK); unlike what's commonly believed HDR was a format to write enviroment effects even before their appearance on video output (since Switch doesn't have HDR, only SDR on certain engines).
The test result on this PR showed games like Astral Chain and other heavy reliant on ASTC decoding improved their performance and stability by around 15%; meanwhile could it be tied to a hardware gain, it's clearly a gain for direct access on what's required on most games. This PR also contains few Vulkan bug fix I encountered along this implementation.

We can iterate through the AdvancedGraphics settings and generate the UI
during runtime. This doesn't help runtime efficiency, but it helps a ton
in reducing the amount of work a developer needs in order to add a new
setting.
Visual Studio has an option to search all files in a solution, so I
did a search in there for "default:" looking for any missing break
statements.
I've left out default statements that return something, and that throw
something, even if via ThrowInvalidType. UNREACHABLE leads towards throw
R_THROW macro leads towards a return
Given the issues with GPU accelerated ASTC decoding with NVIDIA's latest drivers, parallelize astc decoding on the CPU.
Uses half the available threads in the system for astc decoding.
