Replace the bool parameter force5bytes in J, JMP, and J_CC with an enum
class Jump::Short/Near. Many callers set that parameter to the literal
'true', which was unclear if you didn't already know what it did.
DataReader is generally jank - it has a start and end pointer, but the end pointer is generally not used, and all of the vertex loaders mostly bypassed it anyways.
Wrapper code (the vertex loaer test, as well as Fifo.cpp and OpcodeDecoding.cpp) still uses it, as does the software vertex loader (which is not a subclass of VertexLoader). These can probably be eliminated later.
This more accurately represents what's going on, and also ends at 0 instead of 1, making some indexing operations easier. This also changes it so that position_matrix_index_cache actually starts from index 0 instead of index 1.
(Specifically, the copy for VertexLoaderManager::position_cache. The position matrix index happens elsewhere, and the float path still has special logic to copy to scratch3.)

It is no longer relevant for the current set of loaders after 7030542546. If it becomes relevant again, a static function named IsUsable or IsCompatibleWithCurrentMachine or something would be a better approach.
Additionally, VCacheEnhance has been added to UVAT_group1. According to YAGCD, this field is always 1.
TVtxDesc also now has separate low and high fields whose hex values correspond with the proper registers, instead of having one 33-bit value. This change was made in a way that should be backwards-compatible.
