  • renderer: Add some missing texture and swizzles support, BC4 support, and fix PVRT2 decompression, used by Killzone (Macdu)

About memory mapping, double buffer should be less efficient compared to the other methods (native buffer and page table), but it should also be less driver dependent. From my testing, it looks like native buffer works on Adreno GPU and page table doesn't while the opposite happens on Mali GPU. Not sure tho.

Note:
If you update from a previous version, the log level will be set to trace. If you don't plan on using it, it is recommended to set it to off (Settings->Emulator) to improve performance.
