Vulkan: Don't flush commands when creating most sync (#4087)
* Vulkan: Don't flush commands when creating most sync

When the WaitForIdle method is called, we create sync as some internal GPU method may read back written buffer data. Some games randomly intersperse compute dispatch into their render passes, which result in this happening an unbounded number of times depending on how many times they run compute.

Creating sync in Vulkan is expensive, as we need to flush the current command buffer so that it can be waited on. We have a limited number of active command buffers due to how we track resource usage, so submitting too many command buffers will force us to wait for them to return to the pool.

This PR allows less "important" sync (things which are less likely to be waited on) to wait on a command buffer's result without submitting it, instead relying on AutoFlush or another, more important sync to flush it later on.

Because of the possibility of us waiting for a command buffer that hasn't submitted yet, any thread needs to be able to force the active command buffer to submit. The ability to do this has been added to the backend multithreading via an "Interrupt", though it is not supported without multithreading.

OpenGL drivers should already be doing something similar so they don't blow up when creating lots of sync, which is why this hasn't been a problem for these games over there.

Improves Vulkan performance on Xenoblade DE, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, and Zelda BOTW (still another large issue here)

* Add strict argument

This is technically a separate concern from whether the sync is a host syncpoint.

* Remove _interrupted variable

* Actually wait for the invoke

This is required by AMD GPUs, and also may have caused some issues on other GPUs.

* Remove unused using.

* I don't know why it added these ones.

* Address Feedback

GPU: Always draw polygon topology as triangle fan (#3932)
Polygon topology wasn't really supported and would only work on OpenGL on drivers that haven't removed it. As an alternative, this PR makes all cases of polygon topology use triangle fan. The topology type and transform feedback type have not been changed, as I don't think geo shader/tfb should be used with polygons.

The OpenGL spec states:
Only convex polygons are guaranteed to be drawn correctly by the GL.

For convex polygons, triangle fan is equivalent to polygon. I imagine this is probably how it works on device, as this get-out-of-jail-free card is too enticing to pass up.

This fixes the stat display in Pokemon S/V.

ui: Fixes disposing on GTK/Avalonia and Firmware Messages on Avalonia (#3885)
* ui: Only wait on _exitEvent when MainLoop is active under GTK

This fixes a dispose issue under Horizon/GTK, we don't check if the ApplicationClient is null so it throw NCE. We don't check if the main loop is active and waiting an event which is set in the main loop... So that could lead to a freeze.

Everything works fine in GTK now.

* GAL: Send all buffer assignments at once rather than individually

The `(int first, BufferRange[] ranges)` method call has very significant performance implications when the bindings are spread out, which they generally always are in Vulkan. This change makes it so that these methods are only called a maximum of one time per draw.

Significantly improves GPU thread performance in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet.

Vulkan: Don't create preload command buffer outside a render pass (#3864)
* Vulkan: Don't create preload buffer outside a render pass

The preload command buffer is used to avoid render pass splits and barriers when updating buffer data. However, when a render pass is not active (for example, at the start of a pass, or during compute invocations) buffer uploads can be performed at any time, so the optimization isn't as useful.

This PR makes it so that the preload command buffer is only used for buffer updates outside of a render pass. It's still used for textures as I don't want to shake things up right now regarding how the preload buffer is obtained before some other changes, and texture updates are a lot rarer anyways.

Improves performance slightly in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet (43 -> 48), as it was switching to compute, writing a bunch of buffers inline, then dispatching, then flushing commands... It uses 1 command buffer instead of 2 every time it does this now. Maybe it would be nice to find a faster way to sync without creating so many command buffers in a short period of time.

Dispose Vulkan TextureStorage when views hit 0 instead of immediately (#3738)
Due to the `using` statement being scoped to the `CreateTextureView` method, `TextureStorage` would be disposed as soon as the view was returned.

This was largely fine as the TextureStorage resources were being kept alive by the views holding their own references to them, but it also meant that dispose is only called as soon as the texture is created.

Aliased Storages are TextureStorages created with the same allocation as another TextureStorage, if they have to be aliased as another format. We keep track of a TextureStorage's `_aliasedStorages` as they are created, and dispose them when the TextureStorage is disposed...

...except it is disposed immediately, before any aliased storages are even created. The aliased storages added after this will never be disposed.

This PR attempts to fix this by disposing TextureStorage when its view count reaches 0. The other use of texture storage - the D32S8 blit - still manually disposes the storage, but regular uses created via the GAL are now disposed by the view count.

I think this makes the most sense, as otherwise in the future this behaviour might be forgotton and more things could be added to the Dispose() method that don't work due to it not actually calling at the right time.

This should improve memory leaks in Super Mario Odyssey, most noticeable when resolution scaling. The memory usage of the game is still wildly unpredictable due to how it interacts with the texture cache, but now it shouldn't get considerably longer as you play... I hope. I've seen it typically recover back to the same level occasionally, though it can spike significantly.

Please test a bunch of games on multiple GPUs to make sure this doesn't break anything.

- The arguments for the 0th dummy vertex buffer were incorrect - it was given an offset of 16 rather than a size of 16.
- The wrong size was used when doing `autoBuffer.Get` on a converted vertex buffer.
- The possibility of a vertex buffer being disposed and then rebound can rebindings to find a different buffer where the current range is out of bounds. Avoid binding when out of range to prevent validation errors.
- The above also affects generation of converted buffers, which was a bit more fatal. Conversion functions now attempt to bound input offset/size.

GPU: Pass SpanOrArray for Texture SetData to avoid copy (#3745)
* GPU: Pass SpanOrArray for Texture SetData to avoid copy

Texture data is often converted before upload, meaning that an array was allocated to perform the conversion into. However, the backend SetData methods were being passed a Span of that data, and the Multithreaded layer does `ToArray()` on it so that it can be stored for later! This method can't extract the original array, so it creates a copy.

This PR changes the type passed for textures to a new ref struct called SpanOrArray, which is backed by either a ReadOnlySpan or an array. The benefit here is that we can have a ToArray method that doesn't copy if it is originally backed by an array.

This will also avoid a copy when running the ASTC decoder.

On NieR this was taking 38% of texture upload time, which it does a _lot_ of when you move between areas, so there should be a 1.6x performance boost when strictly uploading textures. No doubt this will also improve texture streaming performance in UE4 games, and maybe a small reduction with video playback.

From the numbers, it's probably possible to improve the upload rate by a further 1.6x by performing layout conversion on GPU. I'm not sure if we could improve it further than that - multithreading conversion on CPU would probably result in memory bottleneck.

This doesn't extend to buffers, since we don't convert their data on the GPU emulator side.

Vulkan: Zero blend state when disabled or write mask is 0 (#3719)
* Zero blend state when disabled or write mask is 0

Any difference in the blend state when blend is disabled is meaningless, but Ryujinx would compare different disabled blends and compile them as separate pipelines. This change ensures that all pipelines where blend state is meaningless record it as such, which avoids compiling a bunch of pipelines that are essentially identical.

The NVIDIA driver is pretty forgiving when it comes to silly pipeline misses like this, but other drivers don't offer the same level of kindness.

This should reduce stuttering on those drivers, and might improve overall performance very slightly due to less pipeline variants being in the hash table.

Periodically Flush Commands for Vulkan (#3689)
* Periodically Flush Commands for Vulkan

NVIDIA's OpenGL driver has a built-in mechanism to automatically flush commands to GPU when a lot have been queued. It's also pretty inconsistent, but we'll ignore that for now.

Our Vulkan implementation only submits a command buffer (flush equivalent) when it needs to. This is typically when another command buffer needs to be sequenced after it, presenting a frame, or an edge case where we flush around GPU queries to get results sooner.

This difference in flush behaviour causes a notable difference between Vulkan and OpenGL when we have to wait for commands. In the worst case, we will wait for a sync point that has just been created. In Vulkan, this sync point is created by flushing the command buffer, and storing a waitable fence that signals its completion. Our command buffer contains _every command that we queued since the last submit_, which could be an entire frame's worth of draws.

This has a huge effect on CPU <-> GPU latency. The more commands in a command buffer, the longer we have to wait for it to complete, which results in wasted time. Because we don't know when the guest will force us to wait, we always want the smallest possible latency.

By periodically flushing, we ensure that each command buffer takes a more consistent, smaller amount of time to execute, and that the back of the GPU queue isn't as far away when we need to wait for something to happen. This also might reduce time that the GPU is left inactive while commands are being built.

The main affected game is Pokemon Sword, which got significantly faster in overworld areas due to reduced waiting time when it flushes a shadow map from the main GPU thread.

Another affected game is BOTW, which gets faster depending on the area. This game flushes textures/buffers from its game thread, which is the bottleneck.

Flush latency and throughput may be improved on other games that are inexplicably slower than OpenGL. It's possible that certain games could have their performance _decreased_ slightly due to flushes not being free, but it is unlikely.

Also, flushing to get query results sooner has been tweaked to improve the number of full draw skips that can be done. (tested in SMO)

* Remove unused variable

* Fix possible issue with early query flush
