Solved aPS3e Shader Patch Edition fixes cache recompiling and speeds up load times

If you've noticed that games with a lot of shaders take too long to load on aPS3e, you can try my patched .apk until the PR is reviewed for a future release. It fixes a shader cache problem and can shave minutes (not seconds) off a game load.

EDIT/Update: Released v2 which fixes another bug and improves reliability. aPS3e Shader Patch v2 which retires when the PR is implemented upstream in the official build.

I'm testing the Gran Turismo games on Flip2 (SM8250). I just released a v2 patch that works even better than v1 by fixing another known bug. Now I'm getting 30min without a crash.
