Bound reservations against total retained residency, skip decoding pinned images, and report complete repeated loads truthfully. Cover cap reductions and publication retry in both formats. Tracking: beads-eio.3.386.
Both preload functions now take an aggregate decoded-byte cap and a thread
cap (runtime: 512 MiB, 4 threads). Each image is probed and its RGBA
reserved against the cap before decoding; per-image limits follow the
pack's decode budget, which is no longer grown to usage (pinned images sit
outside it, and outside the Duck 512-entry cap). The pool (texture_pack_
preload.hpp) joins every started thread on unwinding, survives thread
creation failure, and catches worker exceptions. Images not preloaded are
left to the asynchronous budgeted path instead of being marked failed, and
HdTexturePreloadResult reports loaded / over-cap / failed / worker errors
with a complete-or-partial status. The Beetle async worker no longer lets
allocation failures escape its thread entry.
Tests cover both formats: complete preload, over-cap skip with on-demand
fallback, malformed images, injected worker and thread-creation failures,
and budget reservation bounds.

Replacement images were decoded on demand by a single low-priority
worker, so a texture first seen mid-race appeared late and could be
evicted again. When replacements are on, configuring a pack now decodes
every unambiguous image (DuckStation and Beetle formats) across all
cores and pins it in RAM before the game draws; pinned images are never
evicted by the decode budget. Logs the count, size and time.

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.
