James Dansereau 7863ec096f port: D186 — refuse a sub-30 Video.FpsCap instead of throttling the sim
sync_framerate_with_timer() runs inline on the scheduler thread
(osSpTaskStartGo -> gfx_run -> swap_buffers_begin), so a low frame cap
blocks VI-retrace delivery and drags every game thread down to the cap
rate rather than just dropping presented frames. There is no N64 analogue
(RSP/RDP/VI are separate silicon; the CPU never waits on them).

Clamp 0 < FpsCap < 30 to 0 (uncapped) with a warning, at both:
  - videoInit, so a bad ge007.ini value (e.g. dinged to 10 via the F10
    options overlay) is normalised and persists sane on next configSave();
  - gfx_sdl_set_target_fps, the fast3d chokepoint, which also covers the
    overlay's live set path.

Caps >= 30 are unchanged. Default (FpsCap = 0) is byte-identical to
golden (-level_09 framediff 3/3). The real fix — moving frame pacing off
the scheduler thread — is documented as owed in findings.md D186.
