WIP. Most of the GPU-side work should be done (though it's not tested
end-to-end and it's certainly possible I missed something), but still
needs work on encoding side.
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
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.

Defining MEM_DEBUG in mem.h will add a size field to Alloc and enable
bounds and alignment checks for every memory read and write.
Notes:
- Deriving an Alloc from Path.tiles is unsound, but it's more trouble to
convert Path.tiles from TileRef to a variable sized Alloc.
- elements.comp note that "We should be able to use an array of structs but the
NV shader compiler doesn't seem to like it". If that's still relevant, does
the shared arrays of Allocs work?

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.

Both the Vulkan and OpenGL ES spec allow implementations to limit workgroups to
128 threads. Add a LG_WG_FACTOR setting for easy switching between 128 and 256
threads, with 256 being kept as the default setting.
Manually tested that LG_WG_FACTOR = 0 (128 threads) works as expected.

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.
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.
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.
