gamelist: Fixed a bug where a game could appear more than once if multiple game paths were set

CPU/JIT: Code translation (PPC -> x64) is now done asynchronously on a separate thread
The previous implementation would do translation synchronously on the CPU emulation thread.
This could lead to micro stutter in situations where a game hit a lot of new code (e.g. on first loading screen)
