Don't run extensions unless they're available. This includes querying
for descriptor indexing, and running one of two versions of kernel4
depending on whether it's enabled.
Part of the support needed for #78
See http://ssp.impulsetrain.com/gamma-premult.html for a description of
the format.
Pre-multiplied alpha only matters for translucent objects; draw a few
such shapes in the test render.

This change completes general support for stroked fills for clips and
images.
Annotated_size increases from 28 to 32, because of the linewidth field
added to AnnoImage. Stroked image fills are presumably rare, and if
memory pressure turns out to be a bottleneck, we could replace the
linewidth field with a separate AnnoLinewidth elements.

Encode stroke vs fill as tag flags, thereby reducing the number of scene
elements. Encoding change only, no functional changes.
The previous Stroke and Fill commands are merged to one command,
FillColor. The encoding to annotated element is divergent, which is
fixed when annotated elements move to tag flags.

FillImage is like Fill, except that it takes its color from one or
more image atlases.
kernel4 uses a single image for non-Vulkan hosts, and the dynamic sized array
of image descriptors on Vulkan.
A previous version of this commit used textures. I think images are a better
choice for piet-gpu, for several reasons:
- Texture sampling, in particular textureGrad, is slow on lower spec devices
such as Google Pixel. Texture sampling is particularly slow and difficult to
implement for CPU fallbacks.
- Texture sampling need more parameters, in particular the full u,v
transformation matrix, leading to a large increase in the command size. Since
all commands use the same size, that memory penalty is paid by all scenes, not
just scenes with textures.
- It is unlikely that piet-gpu will support every kind of fill for every
client, because each kind must be added to kernel4.
With FillImage, a client will prepare the image(s) in separate shader stages,
sampling and applying transformations and special effects as needed. Textures
that align with the output pixel grid can be used directly, without
pre-processing.
Note that the pre-processing step can run concurrently with the piet-gpu pipeline;
Only the last stage, kernel4, needs the images.
Pre-processing most likely uses fixed function vertex/fragment programs,
which on some GPUs may run in parallel with piet-gpu's compute programs.
While here, fix a few validation errors:
- Explicitly enable EXT_descriptor_indexing, KHR_maintenance3,
KHR_get_physical_device_properties2.
- Specify a vkDescriptorSetVariableDescriptorCountAllocateInfo for
vkAllocateDescriptorSets. Otherwise, variable image2D arrays won't work (but
sampler2D arrays do, at least on my setup).

As described in #62, the non-deterministic scene monoid may result in
slightly different transformations for path segments in an otherwise
closed path.
This change ensures consistent transformation across paths in three steps.
First, absolute transformations computed by the scene monoid is stored
along with path segments and annotated elements.
Second, elements.comp no longer transforms path segments. Instead, each
segment is stored untransformed along with a reference to its absolute
transformation.
Finally, path_coarse performs the transformation of path segments.
Because all segments in a path share a single transformation reference,
the inconsistency in #62 is avoided.

If WIDTH_IN_TILES or HEIGHT_IN_TILES are not divisible by N_TILE_X or N_TILE_Y
respectively, the previously unconditional Cmd_End_write would write out of
bounds.

Merge all static and dynamic buffers to just one, "memory". Add a malloc
function for dynamic allocations.
Unify static allocation offsets into a "config" buffer containing scene setup
(number of paths, number of path segments), as well as the memory offsets of
the static allocations.
Finally, set an overflow flag when an allocation fail, and make sure to exit
shader execution as soon as that triggers. Add checks before beginning
execution in case the client wants to run two or more shaders before checking
the flag.
The "state" buffer is left alone because it needs zero'ing and because it is
accessed with the "volatile" keyword.

Provide images to fine rasterization kernel as readonly textures with a
sampler, rather than storage images. That lets us use the GPU's hardware
for sampling, which should be considerably more efficient.
There are a bunch of parameters that are hardcoded, but it does seem to
work.
This patch passes a dynamically sized array of textures to the fine
rasterizer.
A bunch of the low level Vulkan stuff is done, but only enough of the
shaders and encoders to do minimal testing. We'll want to switch from
storage images to sampled images, track the actual array of textures
during encoding, use that to build the descriptor set (which will need
to be more dynamic), and of course run image elements through the
pipeline.
Progress towards #38
We keep a small window of the clip stack in registers in the fine
rasterization kernel, and when that window is exceeded, spill to global
memory, so the clip stack can be unbounded.
I realized there's a problem with encoding clip bboxes relative to the
current transform (see #36 for a more detailed explanation), so this is
changing it to absolute bboxes.
This more or less gets clips working. There are optimization
opportunities (all-clear and all-opaque mask tiles), and it doesn't deal
with overflow of the blend stack, but it seems to basically work.
Actually handle transforms in RenderCtx (was implemented in renderer but
not actually plumbed through). This also requires maintaining a state
stack, which will also be required for clipping.
This PR also starts work on encoding clipping, including tracking
bounding boxes.
WIP, none of this is tested yet.
The hub does a little better lifetime tracking of resources (so
Rust-side references can be dropped), and in the future will be used for
dynamic selection of backend.
The migration is still a bit half-baked, as there are a bunch of
Vulkan-specific types in the signatures, but it shouldn't be too much
work to sort that out. Perhaps it can wait until there is a second
backend though.
The main motivation for this is to create image objects with lifetime
tracking, one of the things required for #38.
Update to latest versions of all dependencies. Among other things, this
gets us on piet 0.2, though almost all of the changes were around text,
which is not yet implemented.
Path segments are unsorted, but other elements are using the same
sort-middle approach as before.
This is a checkpoint. At this point, there are unoptimized versions
of tile init and coarse path raster, but it isn't wired up into a
working pipeline. Also observing about a 3x performance regression in
element processing, which needs to be investigated.
Trying to fit it into the fancy monad doesn't really work, so use a
more straightforward approach to compute it from the aggregate.
Also add yEdge logic (basically copying piet-metal). With a fix to
ELEMENT_BINNING_RATIO (which I had simply gotten wrong), the example
renders almost correctly, with small bounding box artifacts.
Write the right_edge to the binning output.
More work on encoding the fill/stroke distinction and plumbing that
through the pipeline. This is a bit unsatisfying because of the code
duplication; having an extra fill/stroke bool might be better, but I
want to avoid making the structs bigger (this could be solved by
better packing in the struct encoding).
Fills are plumbed through to the last stage. Backdrop is WIP.
This should get the "right_edge" value for each segment plumbed through
to the binning phase. It also needs to be plumbed to coarse raster and
wired up there.
Also considering WIP because none of this logic has been tested yet.
As of this point, it mostly renders stroke outlines for tiger. Some
dropouts are because the scan in the elements pass doesn't do lookback
yet, others are probably a bug.
This version seems to work but the allocation of segments has low
utilization. Probably best to allocate in chunks rather than try to
make them contiguous.
This just adds the first step of polyline stroking, which is adding it
to the scene. Also just a bit of cleaning up of dimensions into one
header file.
Populates the piet-gpu subdir, with an extremely simple renderer. The
main program saves the image to a PNG.
Contains a few fixes (I was confused about the need for multiple
bindings, as opposed to multiple descriptors within a binding).
