"* Various cleanups and TODOs.
* Partially revert revision d511b506120c.
Slightly slows down emulation, but deobfuscates the pixel shader gen greatly...
* Replace the pixel shader UID generation algorithm with a better one which reduces the number of redundant shader compilations by around 30% (can be optimized even further though).
This should help some games which suffer from heavy stuttering like e.g. F-Zero GX or Red Steel 2.
* Fix a critical bug which caused shaders to be redundantly recompiled when disabling per-pixel depth.
As a nice side effect, the number of redundant shader compilations is now next to zero ;)
* Reduced the number of redundant vertex shader compilations (possibly to zero).
That one was almost too easy ;P"
