CARDUCode, GBAUCode, and INITUCode previously didn't have an implementation of it. In practice it's unlikely that this caused an issue, since these uCodes are only active for a few frames at most, but now that GBAUCode doesn't have global state, we can implement it there. I also implemented it for CARDUCode, although our CARDUCode implementation does not have all states handled yet - this is simply future-proofing so that when the card uCode is properly implemented, the save state version does not need to be bumped. INITUCode does not have any state to save, though.
These lookup tables total 4 megabytes, and contain data that's entirely redundant to the actual cache state (as part of an optimization, though I'm not sure whether the optimization actually is useful). This change instead recomputes these lookup tables when loading the state (which involves filling the lookup table with a marker (0xff), and then setting the 128 * 8 valid entries (1 kilobyte)).
This should reduce (but not completely eliminate) gradual audio desyncs in dumps. This also allows for accurate sample rates for the GameCube.
Completely eliminating gradual audio desyncs will require resampling to an integer sample rate, as nothing seems to support a non-integer sample rate.
Fixes a crash that could occur if the static constructor function for
the MainSettings.cpp TU happened to run before the variables in
Common/Version.cpp are initialised. (This is known as the static
initialisation order fiasco.)
By using wrapper functions, those variables are now guaranteed to be
constructed on first use.

The SDK seems to write "default" bounding box values before every draw
(1023 0 1023 0 are the only values encountered so far, which happen to
be the extents allowed by the BP registers) to reset the registers for
comparison in the pixel engine, and presumably to detect whether GX has
updated the registers with real values. Handling these writes and
returning them on read when bounding box emulation is disabled or
unsupported, even without computing real values from rendering, seems
to prevent games from corrupting memory or crashing.
This obviously does not fix any effects that rely on bounding box
emulation, but having the game not clobber its own code/data or just
outright crash is a definite improvement.
This makes it more convenient to emulate timings for IPC commands that
perform internal IOS <-> IOS IPC, for example ES relying on FS
for filesystem access.
