The approach on this PR moves around refactoring/ updating residual work; main issue was the whole logic behind msaa upload/download images with the constant image copy per pass required; which was gated via shaderStorageImageMultisample, which is not available on all the platforms supported including Android, making them to rely into a more heavier approach to convert msaa image copy into a non msaa image copy, not only losing precision in the conversion, but also creating bugs around the resolve of the image itself, if the supported path had to copy 2 times the same image to be actually presentable, when the fallback was enabled 3 copies were performed, not only decreasing the performance but also increasing race conditions due to the certain capabilities processed in this chain (storage_views). In order to resolve them more naturally, the constant copies were removed from the now "common" path along establishing a proper color resolve for Android and actually making them more direct.
Yet this opened a new pack of outdated handling on our current backend; since we now pass msaa images more directly (whenever a game request a msaa type of image/ which seems to be not common + each fragment resolves images on how it's actually required, adding missing depth/stencil), how we often load and store them becomes a critical issue, since our current configuration renderpass/framebuffer forces to always load and load clear whenever a new attachment it's passing through the renderpass, making this really heavier on memory bandwidth limited devices as SteamDeck and others that doesn't rely on the inmediate rendering mode (Tilers vs iGPU); to prevent over allocating data, I had to re-structure part of the current renderpass and framebuffer to actually reuse part of the data/ attachments called, with flags as DON'T_CARE, simplifying partially on how we actually call attachments including their barriers and conditions (occlusion, etc), the DON'T_CARE it's specifically useful to not only prevent calling new loads (which is a flush and heavier on tiler devices) and not only reusing the actual data store, which works on the future time, this saves memory bandwidth and gives space to actually avoid the constant pressure on SYSMEM/GMEM shader resolver path.
This maintenance also improved the current removal features logic on QCOM drivers, closing gaps between implementations on descriptors (VK_EXT_indexing_descriptor), adjusting the whole WMEL to avoid being so stricter if certain capabilities are missing to actually use this feature, leading to test and play more on how QCOM drivers are actually behaving; meanwhile the main objective is to open path for a robust and bigger implementation in the future, the changes made here also contains small bug fixes on SPIR-V logic, adding missing cases to resolve shaders (FP64 -> FP16), adding more robustness on how narrow features are actually being used and how to wired them whenever they're not available, meanwhile there are still some issues in regards on how Tegra vs Adreno can preserve unorms at FP32 and FP16, leaving better understanding on base for what VK_EXT_shader_float_controls is actually doing most of the times (flushes NaN's and Denorms equally).

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.

"So, found another macOS crash while testing Luigi's mansion 2. It looks like Metal is pretty picky about types and was crashing because the texture gather offsets were being passed as unsigned integers instead of signed ones.
I made a small tweak to the shader recompiler to force them to be signed, and the game boots fine now. Most other drivers usually handle signed offsets anyway, so it should be a safe fix for everyone." - rayman

On AMD a subpixel offset of 1/512 of the texel size is applied to the texture coordinates at a ImageGather call to ensure the rounding at the texel centers is done the same way as in Maxwell or other Nvidia architectures.
See https://www.reedbeta.com/blog/texture-gathers-and-coordinate-precision/ for more details why this might be necessary.
