Given the issues with GPU accelerated ASTC decoding with NVIDIA's latest drivers, parallelize astc decoding on the CPU.
Uses half the available threads in the system for astc decoding.
This buffer was a list of EncodingData structures sorted by their bit length, with some duplication from the cpu decoder implementation.
We can take advantage of its sorted property to optimize its usage in the shader.
Thanks to wwylele for the optimization idea.
These changes should help in reducing crashes/drivers panics that may
occur due to synchronization issues between the shader completion and
later access of the decoded texture.
Per the spec, L1 is clamped to the value 0xff if it is greater than 0xff. An oversight caused us to take the maximum of L1 and 0xff, rather than the minimum.
Huge thanks to wwylele for finding this.

Users may want to fall back to the CPU ASTC texture decoder due to hangs
and crashes that may be caused by keeping the GPU under compute heavy
loads for extended periods of time. This is especially the case in games
such as Astral Chain which make extensive use of ASTC textures.
The current texture cache has several points that hurt maintainability
and performance. It's easy to break unrelated parts of the cache
when doing minor changes. The cache can easily forget valuable
information about the cached textures by CPU writes or simply by its
normal usage.The current texture cache has several points that hurt

This commit aims to address those issues.
