rsx: Fix second VBlank, add setting to control its frequency

[elad335]

There are 2 vblank signals, the first is meant to update at the rate of video output.
The second is a software interrupt usually fixated at 59.94hz, most commonly used to convert logic meant for 59.94hz displays to the real display such as 59.94hz encoded videoes, gameplay logic etc. On real ps3 this had a meaningful use with displays that only output at odd rates such as 50hz for example.
I have added a setting to control it in config.yml

• Bugfixes include a fix to its enabling, it no longer conflicts with the first VBlank configuration.
• Implemented fixed 59.94hz mode for both signal types (as if VBlank NTSC fixup is enabled if configured by the game application).
• Fix Second VBlank timestamps by not overriding it in the first VBLank signal.
• Another bugfix is enabling by default VSYNC in PS3 Native frame limiter mode.
• Fix second VBLank time to respect Clocks Scaling.

To users: added a setting to control its frequency in config.yml called "Second Vblank Rate". If 0 (default), it synchronizes with the first VBlank rate, otherwise the value set controls it.
It may help override games' frame cap that is dependent on the first VBlank rate, but their game logic is dependent on the second.

hi, quick question, does this mean, we dont use Game Patches anymore to get 60 fps?

Honestly that's why I tested NFS Mosted wanted which lead me to the fatal error. Lol
I wanted to see if I could get past 30 because I just tested last night and vblank had no effect.
Truth is I doubt that it does but would be really cool if you can just unlock every single game. Although I feel bad for everyone who worked really hard making those patches if it does unlock fps.

All my games work except the ones where vblank does not work to increase fps.
Interesting thing about this game is vblank works until ingame on master.
While currently on PR the game isn't even intro.

Figured the "except the ones where vblank does not work to increase fps" statement may help.
Essentially making the question "Does this mean we don't use Game Patches anymore to get 60 fps?" impossible to answer yet as all games where vblank already increases fps work.

unfortunately not possible as some games, such as LittleBigPlanet can't run at a higher framerate than 30 due to not using deltatime

I understand that this PR would obviously break other games, but is it fine if this build gets updated again? I would like to test this PR for NFS The Run to see if theres any or no differences when using vblank.

Did you have the binaries for the old version downloaded? I cant find the old ones and the newest build didnt build properly.

I dont have the old version for this PR downloaded, and even if I did, then it would be very outdated to test it. Due to tons of updates/bugfixes that has been merged from this emulator.

The game that i want to test has a really old regression anyways.
