To keep the TAS inputs synced to the game speed even through lag spikes and loading zones, deeper access is required.
First, the `TAS::UpdateThread` has to be executed exactly once per frame. This is done by connecting it to the service method the game calls to pass parameters to the GPU: `Service::VI::QueueBuffer`.
Second, the loading time of new subareas and/or kingdoms (SMO) can vary. To counteract that, the `CPU_BOOST_MODE` can be detected: In the `APM`-interface, the call to enabling/disabling the boost mode can be caught and forwarded to the TASing system, which can pause the script execution if neccessary and enabled in the settings.
During script playback/recording, the user has to see what happens currently. For that, a new label has been added to the bottom-left corner, always displaying the current state of the TASing system.
First of all, TASing requires a script to play back. The user can select the parent directory at `System -> Filesystem`, next to an option to pause TAS during loads: This requires a "hacky" setup deeper in the code and will be added in the last commit.
Also, Hotkeys are being introduced: CTRL+F5 for playback start/stop, CTRL+F6 for re-reading the script and CTRL+F7 for recording a new script.
The base playback system supports up to 8 controllers (specified by `PLAYER_NUMBER` in `tas_input.h`), which all change their inputs simulataneously when `TAS::UpdateThread` is called.
The recording system uses the controller debugger to read the state of the first controller and forwards that data to the TASing system for recording. Currently, this process sadly is not frame-perfect and pixel-accurate.

The main_process was never being cleaned up, causing a noticeable memory leak after subsequent launches. This change cleans up the memory during Core Shutdown, mitigating the leak.
This validation error is spammed on some titles, asserting that VkDescriptorSet 0x0[] was destroyed.
This is likely a validation layer bug when using VK_KHR_push_descriptor, which can avoid using traditional VkDescriptorSet. It should be safe to ignore for now.
