Subject: [PATCH] Remove deprecated Intel GPA from General optimization tips

Intel's Graphics Performance Analyzer has been deprecated and
no longer receives support. Microsoft's PIX can generally supersede
it nowadays, although it's exclusive to Direct3D 12.

This also adds links to more tools like Xcode and Special K
(the latter of which works with Direct3D 12 at least in Godot).
