Description

So JosJuice and I were talking the other day about the gamelist and we realized that we could probably speed up scanning on startup a fair bit if we weren't hitting INIs for each game to check for compatibility ratings.

In my opinion, Dolphin is pretty dang good at emulating games to the point that a lot of the ratings are 4 or 5 stars, with a handful that are 3 or lower due to things we simply don't emulate yet. On top of that, I'm not sure the user really cares about that field? JMC said that the ratings are fairly accurate in his experience, but I don't feel they're a critical part of the main UI to have it be worth spending scanning time pulling all the ratings.

My proposal is we either move it to the game properties UI, or remove it. If we remove it I'd want confirmation from JMC and MaJoR that the wiki's ratings are relatively up to date.

This could be a nice scanning speed up for anybody with a large game library (Hi JMC.)

Obviously this will happen after 5.0, I don't want any significant UI changes this close to release.
