citra-qt: Add customizable speed limit target (#3353)

citra-qt: Add customizable speed limit target

* Update SDL config for the new frame_limit option
* Made max lag time a function of target speed percent.
* Added a checkbox to enable/disable frame limiter
* UI: Prevent frame_limit from under/overflowing
* UI: Hide target speed percent when frame limiter is off
* Disable frame limit spin box when framelimit isn't enabled
