Move code to separate files to be able to reuse it from OpenGL. This
greatly simplifies the pipeline cache logic on Vulkan.
Transform feedback state is not yet abstracted and it's still
intrusively stored inside vk_pipeline_cache. It will be moved when
needed on OpenGL.
Move descriptor lookup and update code to a separate thread. Delaying
this removes work from the main GPU thread and allows creating
descriptor layouts on another thread. This reduces a bit the workload
of the main thread when new pipelines are encountered.
Create multiple descriptor pools on demand. There are some degrees of
freedom what is considered a compatible pool to avoid wasting large
pools on small descriptors.
The "VK" prefix predates the "Vulkan" namespace. It was carried around
the codebase for consistency. "VKDevice" currently is a bad alias with
"VkDevice" (only an upcase character of difference) that can cause
confusion. Rename all instances of it.
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.
Migrates the video core code closer to enabling variable shadowing
warnings as errors.
This primarily sorts out shadowing occurrences within the Vulkan code.
Reduces some header churn and reduces rebuilds when some header
internals change.
While we're at it we can also resolve a missing include in buffer_cache.
This abstractio represents the state of the 3D engine at a given draw.
Instead of changing individual bits of the pipeline how it's done in
APIs like D3D11, OpenGL and NVN; on Vulkan we are forced to put
everything together into a single, immutable object.
It takes advantage of the few dynamic states Vulkan offers.
