Optimized file access

For 1.6.2 some of the file-system functionality has been optimized. In short this means that any file operation done by a game should complete quicker (opening a file, reading, writing, iterating directories etc.). This can lead to faster loading times and in rare cases less stuttering.

Additionally, CEMU will now make use of the AES-NI CPU extension (if supported) for decrypting file data. Similarly to the change mentioned above, this can reduce loading times. Note that this only applies to games stored as WUD/WUX since extracted games (.rpx) are already decrypted.

Known issues:

• Recompiler can cause glitches/freezes.
• GPU buffer cache can cause flickering in certain games even on high accuracy setting
• Not all Amiibo features are supported yet

Edit: I uploaded 1.6.2b, it's minimally slower but contains a crash fix for Smash.
