The main activity loads settings essentially as soon as it
starts, in order to determine which tab to show. If the process
of stopping emulation has not finished at this point, a race
condition may be triggered where two IOS kernels are created
at once due to the emulation thread loading or saving the
SYSCONF while the GUI thread is loading the SYSCONF. To fix
this, we can wait for emulation to fully end before returning.
Because this race condition is hard to reproduce, I have not
been able to test that this actually fixes the race condition,
or even that the cause of the race condition is exactly what I
believe it is. But I am relatively confident.
The only place where initTouchPointer was called automatically
was Host_RequestRenderWindowSize, which is called at least once
after emulation start, but not after activity recreation.
I was hoping we would be able to pull in the default values
from C++, but it seems like more trouble than it's worth,
partially because of different settings having default values
of different types and partially because we don't have any
convenient way to get a list of all C++ settings.
Except controller settings, because those would be annoying
to fit into the same system, and I only need the non-controller
settings to be brought over for the next commits to work.
...instead of waiting for it after launching EmulationActivity.
We need this because there is code that runs very early in
EmulationActivity that accesses the settings.
