This simplifies the GPU accuracy setting by removing the intermediate Balanced mode and setting High as the default on desktop platforms.
It introduces a dedicated setting for GPU fence behavior, allowing the synchronization policy to be configured independently of GPU accuracy.
The Vulkan buffer cache now tracks GPU recording timeline ticks and waits only when necessary, reducing unnecessary synchronization while maintaining correctness for hard-to-trace graphical bugs.
GPU buffer readback has also been refined to synchronize only the affected upload regions when needed, and default DMA behavior has been updated to align with the new GPU accuracy model.
### TL;DR
The fix for particles freezing and unfreezing in mid-air in `Super Mario Odyssey` has been improved, resulting in less of a performance hit.
This game requires the new `Enable GPU Buffer Readback` option to be enabled to fix this issue.
The vertex explosions that occurred in `Super Mario Bros. Wonder`, especially in World 4, have been completely eliminated. You can now enjoy a smooth experience without graphical glitches exploding across the screen.
This game requires the new `GPU Fence Behavior` option to be set to `Strict` to fully fix this issue.
The flickering issue inside certain Shrines in `The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom` has also been fixed.
For now, this game requires the new `GPU Fence Behavior` option to be set to `Accurate` to fully fix this issue.
These options are intended to fix graphical bugs in games that require better synchronization behavior between CPU and GPU, so other games may be affected as well.

This is the first step into the conversion on full GPU video decoding for Android; currently due to the VIC structure, I couldn't set it on surface mode to prevent the latency when sending video decoded (which is processed by GPU now), because currently we convert YUV420 into the Nvidia's format each frame constantly on CPU, aside the requirements from other extensions to work + VIC rewrite, which is a work currently not planned to happen on this PR; the actual configuration for video decoding is ByteBuffer, using GPU to decode NVDEC data (all codecs supported, h264, vp8 and vp9) and send it to CPU for display purposes, which is more faster than relying purely on CPU for any drawing task, saving devices resources/ heating, the downside on this will be the slight latency when a new frame is displayed, which is gonna be a black frame for less than a second, nothing major to harm the experience rather than actually trying our best to take advantage on hardware accelerated.
Aside this, I also added a bunch of minor Vulkan fixes to grant drivers less thinkering when receiving spir-v instructions, meaning this has new bans for extensions on QCOM (following reported issues on other projects working around Adreno driver behavior), this more than providing performance aims to enhance the stability on the driver, performance it's gonna likely to be hit based on the UBO's (StorageBufferAccess) operations and SSBO (uniformStorageBufferAccess), there was an already existing path for the emulation which forces to wide them into 32bit packed operations. I also included some smaller changes/ bugs + VUID's fixes from earlier changes on my work.

Based on the register of the ASTC implementation from Ameerj (yuzu), currently our conversion from ASTC on Desktop tends to duplicates the unpacking of ASTC converted textures, leading to bad performance; since there are some graphical effects that actually access on the band of 32bits (RGAF32) than the common 16bits (RGAF16) from our ASTC path decoding method, which commonly uses ARGB8 (degradation -> LDR) transformation to reduce the memory cost per conversion; meanwhile it could actually provide initially better performance; the engine tended to get stalled when this writted stage effect got skipped; mostly because CPU tends to look for an unimplemented texture/ format query (from which doesn't exist on our MaxwellToVK); unlike what's commonly believed HDR was a format to write enviroment effects even before their appearance on video output (since Switch doesn't have HDR, only SDR on certain engines).
The test result on this PR showed games like Astral Chain and other heavy reliant on ASTC decoding improved their performance and stability by around 15%; meanwhile could it be tied to a hardware gain, it's clearly a gain for direct access on what's required on most games. This PR also contains few Vulkan bug fix I encountered along this implementation.

Following the philosophy on the previous Vulkan maintenance PR's, this one is reviewing the video_core to resolve VUID's related to the missing handling/ safechecks (UBO's case on missing StorageBufferAccess 8/16 bits on QCOM drivers, resulting on bad compute pipeline compiled), wiring topology representative to EDS2 configuration (following #4117), refactored the sampled image access via new memeber function for type "typeless" which adds a handling on the integer mistmatch (uint to sint, float to uint) + fixing bugs on current texture sampling (int) including the depth/stencil path resolve, maintenance to previous changes on query cache (resolving bugs from #3853), reduced the amount of binding BindVertexBufferEXT2 when a new tick/ frame is presented (with this being a reason for performance reduction on games where vertex polutes the stage, like BOTW/TOTK where grass is draw with vertex); implemented color border swizzle and color write enable for future improvements on EDS3, added initial implementation on Synchronization2 starting a path to ensure an access to VK 1.3 features safely and other smaller fixes along the road.

this was only ever used for announce room json on one single instance
this object is pretty much a danger to society and shouldnt exist, especially since its:
a) a singleton
b) spawns objects out of thin air
c) doesn't respect RAII and can outlive its parent objects (big no no)
generally we shouldnt endorse objects like these in the future, but alas, it existed, now it has to begone
additionally there is a similar object in KWorkerTaskManager but it's not as egregious as this one.
check that this didnt break the usual announce room json logic
