Fix the width of VGA text modes being incorrectly set sometimes

142c329 caused a regression where the width calculation of the VGA text
modes did not take 8 vs 9-dot VGA fonts into account correctly.

E.g., the 720x400 mode 03h VGA text mode with 9-dot fonts was
incorrectly set to 640x400 with `glshader = none` or `sharp`.

`crt-auto` modes appeared to work fine, at least at startup. But this
was by fluke and weird problems could happen after certain mode change
sequences.

Port video memory I/O delay tweak from DOSBox-X

This is an adaptation of the `vmemdelay` feature from DOSBox-X.

The auto settings have been removed as they were not particularly useful
for games; a static setting of 3000 ns does the job much better for
problematic titles.

Co-authored-by: Jonathan Campbell <jonathan@castus.tv>

Below is the first relevant commit from the DOSBox-X project
(https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x).

---
commit 417998f7286a3ffc0b9d8908ae3a6203a97e4c43
Author: Jonathan Campbell <jonathan@castus.tv>
Date: Thu Feb 5 14:06:06 2015 -0800

    Make I/O delay configurable, instead of just CPU_CyclesMax/1024 as
    hardcoded in iohandler.cpp. Add code to VGA emulation to emulate memory
    I/O delay. Default value emulates an average delay that represents ISA
    bus delays combined with 386/486/Pentium pipelining that seems to
    represent the slowness of the ISA bus overall. The same code picks a
    much shorter delay if PCI bus emulation is enabled, as if the VGA is
    connected to PCI.

    The reason for this addition is that some demos and games are sensitive
    to VGA memory access speeds, especially parts that involve
    raster/warping effects. These demos work best if the VGA memory is
    slowed down to ISA bus speeds and the effects will not work properly
    otherwise.

    Majic 12 "Show": ISA VGA memio delay fixes the raster errors during the
    "RealPlasma" and the truecolor rotating effect parts of the demo.

    The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: VGA memio delay seems to stabilize the
    plasma effect just after the credits, plasma effect no longer rolls like
    an unstable television picture. Unfortunately, it also causes the demo
    to immediately skip the next part and jump directly to the 3D wireframe
    object part.

    Future Crew "Panic": VGA memory IO delay slows the shadebob effect down
    enough that the 3D dot object part can finish on time and on cue to
    become the FC logo instead of completing, then sitting for 3-5 seconds
    doing nothing.

    You can disable the iodelays if you want, to gain speed in your DOS game
    if the DOS game is not sensitive to I/O or VGA memory speeds.

This regressed after the major double scanning rework in dd8ae142.

Double-scanned VGA text modes are extremely uncommon. A good test case
(and the only one I know of) is the game Indenture (1991) that sets up a
custom 80x25 mode at 640x200 resolution with the 8x8 charset and double
scanning enabled.

Add `vga_render_per_scanline` option

This is enabled by default to render the VGA image by scanline, which is
the new accurate VGA emulation behaviour.

However, a few games (e.g., Deus, Ishar 3, Robinson's Requiem, Time
Travelers) would crash at startup with per-scanline rendering
enabled. This is most likely due to some VGA emulation deficiency.

Disabling `vga_render_per_scanline` restores the the legacy DOSBox
behaviour of rendering the VGA image in 4 parts instead of
per-scanline.

Guard against zero-height modes when setting up a new video mode

Some games set up weird custom modes temporarily that result in a
zero-height video mode (e.g., Impossible Mission II on Tandy). These are
probably some tricks that work on hardware, but in software we need to
guard against divide by zero exceptions downstream when calculating the
aspect ratios.

Manage sdlmain's DOS video mode as an <optional>

DOSBox's execution sequence starts by initializing SDL
followed by starting the DOS normal loop, which eventually
sets the DOS video mode.

This commit makes sdlmain's DOS video mode member variable
optional because, with respect to sdlmain, the DOS video mode
doesn't exist (and may not exist) until the DOS side
successfully sets the video mode through the emulated video
card.

In terms of order of operations, Both the SDL and DOS side
can drive mode changes that involve switching the GL Shader
as well as logging the SDL window size or DOS display mode;
this commit lets those play out as-is.

2. Maintaining a running average of the DC offset

3. Deducting the running average from the head of
