Instead of the PSP's web browser, a dialog shows the URL the game wants
and opens it in the host's browser on X, or backs out on O. Either way the
game sees the browser closed normally. Platforms that can't open a URL
(the new SYSPROP_CAN_LAUNCH_URL) only offer to back out. Only plain
printable-ASCII http(s) addresses are handed over, and on Linux without a
shell.
What the firmware does (sceUtility_Driver, 6.61, plus
utility/dialog/htmlviewer): the HtmlViewer has its own state apart from the
other dialogs, so they don't block each other, and its calls return
WRONG_TYPE until one has started. The request size picks the 2.00 to 3.00
layout, and InitStart allocates 3.5MB of user memory (4.5MB with options
bit 0x400 from 2.70 on), failing with 800200d9 without it.

On a PSP, every InitStart fails with INVALID_STATUS until the last dialog
started is back at NONE, including while it's shutting down, and before
its params are checked. A failed InitStart leaves the current type alone.
We returned WRONG_TYPE instead, and a failed InitStart (e.g. a bad size)
still switched the current type, so every later dialog was refused. (One of
ours that fails after already starting, as savedata can, still becomes the
current type, since the game may poll it.)
The busy check applies status changes that are due, but doesn't use up an
auto status dialog's one-time INITIALIZE/SHUTDOWN reports; one that only
waits to report SHUTDOWN is let finish. Auto status dialogs now release
volatile memory on the way to NONE, including when the game saw RUNNING
before the init thread was done, which used to leave it locked for the next
dialog. GamedataInstall no longer requires currentDialogActive, which its
ShutdownStart cleared even when it then failed, so it could never finish -
and would now have blocked every other dialog.
Also: MsgDialog accepts exactly the three sizes sceUtility_Driver does (we
memcpy'd whatever size was given), and HtmlViewer GetStatus answers
WRONG_TYPE.
Adds utility/dialog/status and utility/dialog/priority, recorded on a PSP.

On a PSP, dialog animations advance by animSpeed frames per Update and the
fades take about 200ms. Ours took 500ms (1/30 s per animSpeed, over
FADE_TIME 1.0), and all input was ignored until it finished, which made
dialogs feel sluggish, noticeably so in 30fps games. Input is still
ignored while fading out, once a choice has been made.

Seems the game might not handle the case of confirm button being set to
cross properly, so force it to circle if this game is running.
Fixes#15663 (hopefully..)
SLN fix
It works, but with the wrong images and the wrong characters!
Fix another bug in atlastool's binary output
Get Android building again.
Oops, didn't mean to disable this permanently.
Error checking
Minor cleanup
Gotta tweak my git ignores...
Regenerate metadata
This is probably more based on IO (maybe even loading and unloading
the module for the dialog or something?) but time should approximate it.
May improve games not expecting the status to switch right away.
