Xenia Canary version

https://github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary/commit/fbad66e5bcf7796d23d21054b2730aea39a57069

Issues

• broken collision if CPU supports AVX-512 instruction set, disable AVX-512 in BIOS.
• flickering noise in bottom half of the screen.

Noise similar to Lords of Shadow, but affects a much bigger area, and it's visible nearly all the time.

AVX-512 workarounds

- disable AVX512 in BIOS. - enable `disable_context_promotion`, which could present other issues (needs testing) and will reduce general performance. - use Xenia Master with `x64_extension_mask = 0`, unfortunately this setting is not functional on Canary, at least for AVX-512.
