Load modern texpage/texupload PNG replacements independently of DuckStation source. Integrate pack folders and options with mods, preserve native VRAM, and validate GL rendering, format matching, dump safety, and upload invalidation.
Fixes Ape Escape terrain seams: CPU-built subdivision midpoints and lwl/lwr-copied
grid corners drew native next to precise neighbours. Adds pgxp_tri_ring/pgxp_store_ring.

Reconciled with #470 (PGXP): gpu.c precise vertices take PGXP only under geometry correction and count it, then native-wide edge recovery; the PGXP triangle stat stays PGXP-only. Stubs and tests from both kept; stamps recomputed.
Master moved the textured-dot test stubs into gpu_exec_stubs.inc; the PGXP stubs move there too. pgxp_note_rect_bypass stub takes (int). Stamps recomputed.
Letterbox bars squashed as HUD left the revealed margins showing the frame's clear colour. Also link gpu_timeline.c into the GPU exec tests (broken since b2104464).
