f7bc75ae6d Boot: Make BootExecutableReader's constructor take a std::vector by value
This allows avoiding two copies of the executable data being created in
the following scenario (using pseudocode):

some_function()
{
  std::vector<u8> data = ...;
  DolReader reader{data};

  ...
}

In this scenario, if we only use the data for passing it to DolReader,
then we have to perform a copy, as the constructor takes the std::vector
as a constant reference -- you cannot move from a constant reference,
and so we copy data into the DolReader, and perform another copy in the
constructor itself when assigning the data to the m_bytes member
variable. However, we can do better.

Now, the following is allowable as well:

some_function()
{
  std::vector<u8> data = ...;
  DolReader reader{std::move(data)};

  ...
}

and now we perform no copy at any point in the reader's construction, as
we just std::move the data all the way through to m_bytes.

In the case where we *do* want to keep the executable data around after
constructing the reader, then we can just pass the vector without
std::move-ing it, and we only perform a copy once (as we'll std::move
said copy into m_bytes). Therefore, we get a more flexible interface
resource-wise out of it.

37c09343d8 Turn VolumeDirectory into DirectoryBlob
This lets VolumeDirectory/DirectoryBlob skip implementing
various volume functions like GetGameID, GetBanner, etc.
It also lets us view extracted discs in the game list.

This ends up breaking the boot process for Wii
DirectoryBlobs due to workarounds being removed from the
boot process, but that will be fixed later by adding
proper DirectoryBlob support for things like TMDs.

We now expect the directories to be laid out in a certain
format (based on the format that WIT uses) instead of requiring
the user to set the DVD root and apploader path settings.

065261dbad Boot: Unify the ELF and DOL code paths
They're essentially the same. To achieve this, this commit unifies
DolReader and ElfReader into a common interface for boot executable
readers, so the only remaining difference between ELF and DOL is
how which volume is inserted.
