[GENESIS] Fixed some bugs with interrupt generation upon register changes
[GENESIS] Some cleanups to state code and performance improvements
[GENESIS] Added main CPU overclock option to improve framerate of some games (Skitchin, Road Rash, Lotus, Out of This World, etc)

[CORE] Added much faster texture upload which allow HD videos and emulators to not use as much CPU transfering data
[CORE] Added over 15 GPU based filters using GLSL shaders. Includes 2xSAI, color limiting, flicker, geomorphic effects, etc. Uses your GPU power instead of CPU for filtering
[CORE] Added GPU based scanlines, with 3 main options (Vertical, Horizontal, Grid) and configurable brightness, width that can be combined with every other filter.
[CORE] Added HQ2X, HQ3X, HQ4X, HQFAST2X, HQFAST3X, HQFAST4X, PIXEL2X,PIXEL3X,PIXEL4X graphics filters (CPU)
[CORE] Optimized multithreading code in the core, freeing up the video and audio threads resulting in better throughput and reduction in rare audio glitches.
