The threads can't actually be started when determinism is enabled, as
the behavior would not be deterministic, but Open() still tries to
start the threads and wait, resulting in a deadlock when booting
certain games and homebrew in NetPlay.

The problem seemed to be that s_DILENGTH would get set to 0
at times when it shouldn't. Simply not changing it in case
of NoReply or DTK seems to fix the problem. However, we can
actually go one step further in accuracy and use data.size()
to change s_DIMAR and s_DILENGTH as partial reads (NoReply
commands) complete, instead of jumping directly to 0 when
the whole read completes.
It used to be the case that frame advance skipped duplicate frames
(i.e. it would take 30 frame advances to get through one second
of emulated time in a 30 fps game), but this broke in 9c5c3c0.
Skipping duplicate frames making TASing less annoying.
Since we are calling this off the UI thread, we can't use anything which
accesses the underlying NSView object. We create and set the Metal layer
on the UI thread before the video backend is initialized. This extension
is both compatible with MoltenVK and gfx-portability for accepting a
layer at surface creation.
This fixes a crash on ATV devices, because the the AlertDialog is
from the appcompat class, but the theme derived from the parent
view on ATV devices isn't from AppCompat.
