bicarusandGitHub bd2fbfcb67 touch: restore wintouchemu, fall back to it when native touch hooks fail (#834)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Fixes #833

## Description of change
Last couple PRs - such as #820 #827 #828 - made the native touch hook &
touch injection using `InjectTouchInput` the default path, since it
performs much more reliably with both real touch screens and mouse (or
any other synthetic source).

However, user has reported that WINE lacks `InjectTouchInput` which
means this won't work.

As a fix, revive the old wintouchemu code. Native touch is still the
default, but under following circumstances:

1. if `-touchemuforce` is set, or
2. if any of the required Windows touch APIs are unavailable

then we fail over from native touch to wintouchemu code. 

For Linux, condition #2 would be hit during init, and gracefully switch
over.

Caveat: the poke code for IIDX and Nost will continue to require native
touch, I do not want to maintain two paths for this. This means that
iidx poke will stop working on Linux, unfortunately.

## Testing
Tested on Windows with `-touchemuforce` set. This is mostly reverting
Linux code path back to where we were last release, so this should just
work with wine.

bicarusandGitHub 64600826b7 nost: touch piano mode (#830)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Touch piano mode. Allows piano keys to be played with the touch screen.
Since the touch screen is still needed for menu navigation (including
during songs) a toggle switch is added so that the user can flip between
navigation mode and piano mode.

The touch targets are pixel-perfect. Don't let the game's piano
animations fool you.

bicarusandGitHub 09ed8b948c nost: move nostalgia from wintouchemu to native touch hook (#827)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#814

## Description of change
Switch over Nostalgia from wintouchemu to native touch hook.

Nostalgia has some strict timing requirements (touches must be updated
on every acio poll) so this takes a slightly different path to maintain
mouse holds.

Only a handful of consumers of wintouchemu remain:

1. beatstream - but it's off by default, only enabled as errata for
buggy touchscreens, or if the user forces it on (for Show Cursor)
2. gitadora single-window overlay - this is just for mouse so not a big
deal.
3. MFC HG mode - not a priority to fix.

## Testing
Tested full screen and windowed mode with touch / mouse / poke.

bicarusandGitHub 71ba9b6b47 os: implement win10 high-resolution timer as replacement for Sleep() / sleep_for() (#682)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Fixes #681 

## Description of change
`Sleep` and `sleep_for()` can be very inaccurate and varies depending on
what the OS gives us...

### `timeBeginPeriod(1)`
On boot, we are now calling `timeBeginPeriod(1)`, which affects the
whole process but makes `Sleep` more accurate. There is some risk here
if any game was relying on doing things like `Sleep(1)` and expecting it
to run for 15.6ms. Most games already call `timeBeginPeriod(1)` in the
game engine, though not the whole time, so I'm hoping that this is not
too impactful.

### Opt out of Win11 power throttling
Ensure that timer resolution change above is respected even when the
window is occluded / minimized by opting out of throttling via
`PROCESS_POWER_THROTTLING_IGNORE_TIMER_RESOLUTION`.

### Use Win10 high resolution timer instead of Sleep

On Win10 1803 and above, there is a new OS-level API for high resolution
timers; if this is available, use it
(`CREATE_WAITABLE_TIMER_HIGH_RESOLUTION`). Worth noting that WINE
doesn't support this currently.

If not, fall back to `Sleep`, which is significantly better than
`sleep_for()` in my experiments.

Callers of Sleep / sleep_for were replaced with this new timer. Most of
them anyway; calls to Sleep() with more than 100ms+ was left alone.

### Add an option as a chicken bit

To opt out I'm adding a new option called `Use Legacy Timers` which will
revert to behavior before this PR. The code paths that switched from
`sleep_for` to `Sleep` will remain in place though, not affected by the
option.

## Expected changes
In some I/O emulation modules, poll threads may run more frequently,
resulting in lower latency.

It also means that spice overall may use more CPU resources and power.
If you don't like this, you can always enable the option to opt out;
e.g., if you're on old arcade cab PC.

## Testing

DDR p4io - ok
drs touch hook - ok
IIDX camera hook - ok
CCJ trackball - ok

bicarusandGitHub af8d8dae9f rawinput: distinguish between circular and linear analog input (#665)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Currently, all analogs are treated as circular values that wrap around.
This works for knobs and turntables, but can get weird for linear values
(like tilt sensors and sliders) especially once analog options are
enabled, such as sensitivity.

This PR groups analogs into 3 buckets: circular, linear (centered), and
linear (positive). Linear types get different algorithms applied to it
when options are set (e.g., sensitivity caps out at 0, 1 instead of
wrapping around).

In linear mode:
* Sensitivity value applies an exponential response curve (power curve)
to the original value.
* Multiplier/divisor serves as a linear cut-off.
* Relative mode works as you expect, but of course, values don't wrap
around.
* Invert and deadzone work as you expect (since they applied to the
controller input anyway)
* Smoothing is removed from the UI and has no effect.
* Delay is unaffected.

Also, fix a small bug with -/+ button not working for analog `Delay`
option.
