feat(video_core): Implement HybridMemory for advanced Vulkan memory management

Adds a new cross-platform memory management system with enhanced capabilities:
- Fault-managed memory allocation for Linux/Android platforms
- Memory snapshot and differential snapshot support
- Predictive memory reuse tracking for optimized access patterns
- Vulkan compute buffer integration
- User-configurable settings for enabling features

The system integrates with the existing Vulkan renderer to provide more
efficient memory handling, especially for compute-intensive workloads.
