Add likely/unlikely macros for improved performance
Some checks, like the following NULL check, will either always be true or false depending on if the user application is implemented correctly. When using peanut-gb with LCD enabled, this NULL check should never be true, so it's a bit of a waste. https://github.com/deltabeard/Peanut-GB/blob/dad797741c5a100bc7e753ef6baf7eb8ca18ddc4/peanut_gb.h#L1113
The least we can do is use an unlikely(x)
macro here, or we could wrap it in an assert.
Peanut-GB should be profiled, and unlikely/likely macros should be used throughout where there is likely to be significant performance gains.
Removed the milestone because requires a lot of profiling. It would be nice to have a script that plays a few games in order to generate a profile, and then provide suggestions as to where such macros would be most appropriate.
