removed some unnecessary logic
we used to overwrite where the codehandler looks for the gecko codes... but we don't run the codehandler anymore past initializing the bootloader. Plus given the codehandler was different than in Ishii, this overwrite location was totally wrong anyway.

My change in 867cd99 caused farcode to fill up much more than before.
Most games still ran fine, but certain games would have multiple
cache clears per minute, on top of being overall slow.
Maybe there's something prettier we can do about this than just
allocating more RAM, but we have the resource budget for making
Dolphin use more RAM, so I consider increasing the size of the
cache to be a good solution at least for the time being.
At least for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, 48 MB isn't
enough to stop the cache clears, but 64 MB is. (I only played the
game for a few minutes when testing, though.)
To do this, I had to decouple framebuffer fetch from shader blending. We need to be able to access framebuffer fetch input when using shader logic ops.
If InputConfig::LoadConfig() was called once with a non empty/customized config,
then called again after manually deleting the config (dolphin calls LoadConfig() every time it opens the mapping widget),
the second load would fail to clear the values on any non first EmulatedController and would instead keep the
previous config values despite it being deleted (while it would instead correctly default the first EmulatedController).
This is not a big bug though the code is better now.

Before e1e3db13ba
the ControllerInterface m_devices_mutex was "wrongfully" locked for the whole Initialize() call, which included the first device population refresh,
this has the unwanted (accidental) consequence of often preventing the different pads (GC Pad, Wii Contollers, ...) input configs from loading
until that mutex was released (the input config defaults loading was blocked in EmulatedController::LoadDefaults()), which meant that the devices
population would often have the time to finish adding its first device, which would then be selected as default device (by design, the first device
added to the CI is the default default device, usually the "Keyboard and Mouse" device).
After the commit mentioned above removed the unnecessary m_devices_mutex calls, the default default device would fail to load (be found)
causing the default input mappings, which are specifically written for the default default device on every platform, to not be bound to any
physical device input, breaking input on new dolphin installations (until a user tried to customize the default device manually).
Default devices are now always added synchronously to avoid the problem, and so they should in the future (I added comments and warnings to help with that)
This fixes the bad rendering on the first frame when using the software renderer: the software renderer's Z buffer started out at 0, but most games clear it to 0xffffff instead; this means that things don't render correctly except for in the regions where the screen was cleared by an EFB copy earlier in the frame.
The system menu does clear the RTC flags, but we currently aren't updating the cache file, and since we clear them the system menu doesn't know to update the cache either. This means that launching a game via the system menu, and then launching a game directly and exiting via HOME will result in the system menu using an outdated cache and displaying the old game. This causes it to fail to launch the game on the disc channel (since it doesn't match the cache), resulting in it resetting (though it will ignore the cache after resetting). Not clearing the cache avoids this issue.
