Added emulator detection (#651)

* Added emulator detection * Fixed missing assignments * Disable interrupts around the count factor test * Added more comments to emutest * Changed PJ64 enum values so the versions work as a bitfield * Updated README * Fixed comments * Updated enum values so you can safely AND and OR all emulator version flags together * Remove redundant gIsConsole, gIsVC, and gCacheEmulated global variables * Changed console check to be more future proof against Ares * Use assembly file instead of casting to a function pointer * Moved round_double_to_float back to its own compilation unit * Moved the ParallelN64 check before the Ares check for better future-proofing * Align pj64_get_count_factor_asm with cache lines... not that it actually matters for pj64 * Adjusted some comments * Made emulator check thread-safe on emulators that emulate PI timings * Added gIsConsole macro for backwards compatibility * Added cen64 to INSTANT_INPUT_BLACKLIST * Updated comment

 - Many general use defines for object struct members, meant for use in custom object behaviors. Check `include/object_fields.h` for more info on this. (By MrComit)
 - Included `actors/group0.c` in `behavior_data.c`
 - The internal ROM name is now set with a define in `config/config_rom.h` to make it simpler
- There is a `gIsConsole` variable that is 1 when running on console and 0 when running on emulator. This way you can wrap your code in a console check.

 - Expanded audio heap allows for a larger concurrent note count and the importing of more m64 sequences and sound banks (By ArcticJaguar725) *
 - You can set a test level in `config/config_debug.h` in order to boot straight into it, so you can quickly test the level you're working on. *
 - Allow all surfaces in the game to have a `force` parameter. Activating this doesn't REQUIRE you to set `force` for every surface: If you don't set, it will default to 0x0000 rather than crashing. Increases RAM usage of collision. *

 - S2DEX engine by someone2639! To use it, compile with `make TEXT_ENGINE=s2dex_text_engine` or just set `TEXT_ENGINE` to `s2dex_text_engine` in the makefile.
