3ds CIA:

• Refactor song and note structs to not use bitfields, but manually read/write the correct bits from the data byte arrays. This fixes audio on the Wii U (and potential future Big Endian platforms)
• Increase audio volume by removing bit shifting that was intended to reduce clipping, but doesn't appear to be helping
• Turn off logger by default (stop unnecessary disc I/O)
• Only write cartdata file on cart closure to avoid pauses mid game
• Fix an issue where drawing shapes off screen drew extra pixels on the edges

3DS CIA:

All platforms:

• Implement stretched and flipped draw modes.
• Fix "continue" menu item being able to be overwritten
• Fix menu not dismissing when selecting a custom item

3ds Specific

• use citro2d for rendering instead of direct framebuffer access. Small performance improvement when using integer scaling, large improvement when not using integer scaling

Known issues: implementing draw modes introduced a problem with the pause menu when using them. See issue #65

Found out any games using the extcmd were crashing (Picohot specifically). The only change in this release is fixes for those crashes. Most of the extcmd functionality (screenshots, recordings, etc) don't work, but pause, reset, and exit do, and it shouldn't crash now.
