Claude f7ca5ecbd6 Keep debug labels out of the ImGui passes in normal builds
Aurora's own debug groups only exist when AURORA_GFX_DEBUG_GROUPS is
defined, but the three ImGui passes (desktop overlay, host-frame overlay
and the headset settings panel) pushed and popped theirs in every build.
An Adreno 740 Android driver (512.676) faults in
vkCmdEndDebugUtilsLabelEXT on the first overlay pass (KartPad #321); the
Quest 3 uses the same GPU. Gate all three like the rest of Aurora.

Ported from chrissotraidis/wiicompiled (KartPad) 420b828, extended to the
two extra passes this fork has.

    • Runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, tvOS, Android
  • GX compatibility layer
    • Graphics API support: D3D12, Vulkan, Metal
    • Highly accurate and performant GX implementation
    • Robust pipeline cache system with "transferable" cache support for releases
    • Dolphin-compatible texture pack support
    • Widescreen & resolution scaling support
    • Custom APIs for offscreen rendering
  • PAD compatibility layer
    • Utilizes SDL_Gamepad for wide controller support, including GameCube controller adapters
    • Automatically saves and loads controller bindings and port mappings
    • Gyro & mouse support
  • DVD compatibility layer
    • Utilizes nod to support all GameCube/Wii disc image types, including RVZ
  • CARD compatibility layer
    • Full compatibility with Dolphin .gci and .raw for game saves

Graphics

The GX compatibility layer is built on top of WebGPU, a cross-platform graphics API abstraction layer. WebGPU allows targeting all major platforms simultaneously with minimal overhead. The WebGPU implementation used is Chromium's Dawn.
