By design, some vulkan implementations block until vsync during
vkAcquireNextImageKHR. Since mpv only considers the time that
`swap_buffers` spent blocking as constituting part of the vsync, we can
help it out a bit by pre-emptively calling this function here in order
to improve the accuracy of vsync jitter measurements on vulkan.
(If it fails, we just ignore the error and have the user call it a
second time later - maybe it will work then)
On my system this drops vsync-jitter from ~0.030 to ~0.007, an accuracy
of +/- 100μs. (Which *might* have something to do with the fact that
this is the polling interval for command polling)

Makes performance slightly better when using multiple queues by avoiding
unnecessary semaphores due to bad queue selection.
Also remove an aeons-old workaround for an nvidia bug that only ever
existed in the earliest beta vulkan drivers anyway.

Since the code just broke out of the loop on a match rather than jumping
straight to the end of the function body, it ended up hitting the code
path for when the end of the list was reached.

There is now a better way. Reading the font framebuffer was always a
hack. The new code via VOCTRL_SCREENSHOT renders it into a FBO, which
does not come with the disadvantages of reading the front buffer (like
not being supported by GLES, possibly black regions due to overlapping
windows on some systems).
For now keep VOCTRL_SCREENSHOT_WIN on the VO level, because there are
still some lesser VOs and backends that use it.

Async compute in particular seems to cause problems on some drivers, and
even when supprted the benefits are not that massive from the tests I
have seen, so it's probably safe to keep off by default.
Async transfer on the other hand seems to work better and offers a more
substantial improvement, so it's kept on.

This is now associated with the ra_tex directly and used in the correct
way, rather than hackily done from submit_frame.

Now handles both VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR and VK_SUBOPTIMAL_KHR for both
vkAcquireNextImageKHR and vkQueuePresentKHR in the correct way.

Instead of using a single primary queue, we generate multiple
vk_cmdpools and pick the right one dynamically based on the intent.
This has a number of immediate benefits:
1. We can use async texture uploads
2. We can use the DMA engine for buffer updates
3. We can benefit from async compute on AMD GPUs
Unfortunately, the major downside is that due to the lack of QF
ownership tracking, we need to use CONCURRENT sharing for all resources
(buffers *and* images!). In theory, we could try figuring out a way to
get rid of the concurrent sharing for buffers (which is only needed for
compute shader UBOs), but even so, the concurrent sharing mode doesn't
really seem to have a significant impact over here (nvidia). It's
possible that other platforms may disagree.
Our deadlock-avoidance strategy is stupidly simple: Just flush the
command every time we need to switch queues, and make sure all
submission and callbacks happen in FIFO order. This required lifting the
cmds_pending and cmds_queued out from vk_cmdpool to mpvk_ctx, and some
functions died/got moved as a result, but that's a relatively minor
change.
On my hardware this is a fairly significant performance boost, mainly
due to async transfers. (Nvidia doesn't expose separate compute queues
anyway). On AMD, this should be a performance boost as well due to async
compute.

This uses the new vk_signal mechanism to order all access to textures.
This has several advantageS:
1. It allows real synchronization of image access across multiple frames
when using multiple queues for parallelism.
2. It allows using events instead of pipeline barriers, which is a
finer-grained synchronization primitive that allows for more
efficient layout transitions over longer durations.
This commit also restructures some of the implicit transition code for
renderpasses to be more flexible and correct. (Note: this technically
drops the ability to transition the image out of undefined layout when
not blending, but that was a bug anyway and needs to be done properly)
vo_gpu: vulkan: remove no-longer-true optimization
The change to the output_tex format makes this no longer true, and it
actually seems to hurt performance now as well. So just don't do it
anymore. I also realized it hurts performance when drawing an OSD, so
it's probably not a good idea anyway.

Instead of being submitted immediately, commands are appended into an
internal submission queue, and the actual submission is done once per
frame (at the same time as queue cycling). Again, the benefits are not
immediately obvious because nothing benefits from this yet, but it will
make more sense for an upcoming vk_signal mechanism.
This also cleans up the way the ra_vk submission interacts with the
synchronization/callbacks from the ra_vk_ctx. Although currently, the
way the dependency is signalled is a bit hacky: normally it would be
associated with the ra_tex itself and waited on in the appropriate stage
implicitly. But that code is just temporary, so I'm keeping it in there
for a better commit order.

Instead of associating a single VkSemaphore with every command buffer
and allowing the user to ad-hoc wait on it during submission, make the
raw semaphores-to-signal array work like the raw semaphores-to-wait-on
array. Doesn't really provide a clear benefit yet, but it's required for
upcoming modifications.

1. No more static arrays (deps / callbacks / queues / cmds)
2. Allows safely recording multiple commands at the same time
3. Uses resources optimally by never over-allocating commands

This is fixed upstream (and we now know it's a driver bug) so reword the
comment.

FlagBits is just the name of the enum. The actual data type representing
a combination of these flags follows the *Flags convention. (The
relevant difference is that the latter is defined to be uint32_t instead
of left implicit)
For consistency, use *Flags everywhere instead of randomly switching
between *Flags and *FlagBits.
Also fix a wrong type name on `stageFlags`, pointed out by @atomnuker

In addition to the built-in nvidia compiler, we now also support a
backend based on libshaderc. shaderc is sort of like glslang except it
has a C API and is available as a dynamic library.
The generated SPIR-V is now cached alongside the VkPipeline in the
cached_program. We use a special cache header to ensure validity of this
cache before passing it blindly to the vulkan implementation, since
passing invalid SPIR-V can cause all sorts of nasty things. It's also
designed to self-invalidate if the compiler gets better, by offering a
catch-all `int compiler_version` that implementations can use as a cache
invalidation marker.

This time based on ra/vo_gpu. 2017 is the year of the vulkan desktop!
Current problems / limitations / improvement opportunities:
1. The swapchain/flipping code violates the vulkan spec, by assuming
that the presentation queue will be bounded (in cases where rendering
is significantly faster than vsync). But apparently, there's simply
no better way to do this right now, to the point where even the
stupid cube.c examples from LunarG etc. do it wrong.
(cf. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/issues/370)
2. The memory allocator could be improved. (This is a universal
constant)
3. Could explore using push descriptors instead of descriptor sets,
especially since we expect to switch descriptors semi-often for some
passes (like interpolation). Probably won't make a difference, but
the synchronization overhead might be a factor. Who knows.
4. Parallelism across frames / async transfer is not well-defined, we
either need to use a better semaphore / command buffer strategy or a
resource pooling layer to safely handle cross-frame parallelism.
(That said, I gave resource pooling a try and was not happy with the
result at all - so I'm still exploring the semaphore strategy)
5. We aggressively use pipeline barriers where events would offer a much
more fine-grained synchronization mechanism. As a result of this, we
might be suffering from GPU bubbles due to too-short dependencies on
objects. (That said, I'm also exploring the use of semaphores as a an
ordering tactic which would allow cross-frame time slicing in theory)
Some minor changes to the vo_gpu and infrastructure, but nothing
consequential.
NOTE: For safety, all use of asynchronous commands / multiple command
pools is currently disabled completely. There are some left-over relics
of this in the code (e.g. the distinction between dev_poll and
pool_poll), but that is kept in place mostly because this will be
re-extended in the future (vulkan rev 2).
The queue count is also currently capped to 1, because of the lack of
cross-frame semaphores means we need the implicit synchronization from
the same-queue semantics to guarantee a correct result.
