This was added in #10394 for both the hardware and software backends to work around an issue with Mario Kart Wii, Fortune Street, and Baten Kaitos. However, it seems like the software renderer handles blending well enough that we don't need this (and in any case, it's easy to change blending in the software renderer).
Some experimentation with #11387 (not pushed) showed that the software renderer's logic would also produce correct results on the hardware backends with this hack removed, but would require fbfetch (currently); if a better solution is found the hack can also be removed from the hardware backends.
Texture dumping can already be done using VideoCommon's system (and in fact the same setting already enabled *both* of these). Dumping objects/TEV stages/texture fetches doesn't currently have an equivalent, but could be added to the FIFO player instead.
It stores both the konst selection value for alpha and color channels (for two tev stages per ksel), and half of a swap table row (there are 4 total swap tables, which can be used for swizzling the rasterized color and the texture color, and indices selecting which tables to use are stored per tev stage in the alpha combiner). Since these are indexed very differently, the old code was hard to follow.
Adds a pass to process driver deficiencies between UID caching and use, allowing a full view of the whole pipeline, since some bugs/workarounds involve interactions between blend modes and the pixel shader
These aren't particularly useful, and make the code a bit more confusing. If for some reason someone wants to test what happens when these functions are disabled, it's easier to just edit the code that implements them. They aren't exposed in the UI, so one would need to restart Dolphin to do it anyways.
It doesn't make sense for alpha to add the bias ONLY when dividing by 2, while color doesn't apply the bias for divide by 2 only; hardware testing indicates that alpha should have the bias.
This fixes the menus in Mario Kart Wii (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11909) but reintroduces the white rectangle in Fortune Street.
This reverts commit 5aaa5141ed (and several other matching changes elsewhere).
The compiler was loudly announcing each and every branch Tev was not checking in
a switch statement, but Tev has learned it's lesson and will produce that
warning no more.

Previously we set the texture coordinate to zero, now we set
the texture coordinate *index* to zero. This fixes the ripple
effect of the Mario painting in Luigi's Mansion.
