In case someone wants to be very careful with how much bandwidth
they use or with what data GameTDB.com collects on you.
This is already an option in DolphinQt (though in DolphinQt it
will switch entirely from using covers to banners when turned off).
Except controller settings, because those would be annoying
to fit into the same system, and I only need the non-controller
settings to be brought over for the next commits to work.

We currently have one way of opening the menu on touch screen
devices (swiping down from the top of the screen to bring up the
action bar and selecting the menu in the action bar), and another
way of opening the menu on Android TV (pressing Back). However,
some devices that claim to support touch (or don't support
leanback? Dolphin currently conflates the two) don't actually let
you swipe down from the top of the screen in the way that Dolphin
expects, notably Chromebooks. There are also some phones where you
can swipe down from the top of the screen but this for some reason
doesn't lead to the action bar becoming visible, though we are
getting less reports about this nowadays than in the past.
This change makes us use the Back method on all devices,
since it should work on all devices with no significant drawbacks.
Unfortunately, we not only have two different ways of triggering
the menu but actually two entirely different menus, with the
non-touch menu not implementing options that only are revelant
when using a touch screen. A later commit will add the missing
features to the menu that we now use on all devices.
Currently, we do not display every second frame in 25fps/30fps games
which run to vsync. This improves performance as there's less rendering
for the GPU to perform, but when combined with vsync, could cause frame
pacing issues.
This commit adds an option to force every frame generated by the console
to be displayed to the host, which may improve pacing for these games.
When using motion controls, it's useful to be able to lock the screen
to a certain orientation so that Android won't interpret game motions
as an intent to change the screen orientation. To this end, I've
changed the existing orientation lock setting in the following ways:
- A portrait lock mode has been added in addition to the existing
landscape lock mode and unlocked mode.
- The landscape lock mode now locks to regular landscape rather than
letting you change between the two possible landscape orientations.
- The setting is now accessed during emulation rather than outside.
