This will become necessary when we switch away from scissoring. For the
time being, this cleans things up a bit and allows for a trivial
blending implementation for textures when that comes.
Some formats like sub-sampled YCbCr use a block of bytes to
store the color values for more than one pixel. Update our format
table to be able to handle such formats.
This is implemented by a two-subpass rendering scheme; the first
subpass draws (and blends) onto a linear R16G16B16A16_SFLOAT buffer,
while the second subpass performs linear->srgb conversion, writing
onto the actual output buffer.
No need to roll our own cache machinery here, stage buffers
already do it (and more) for us. Should improve performance
when multiple screens with a different resolution are captured.

We'll use this function from wlr_shm too.
Add some assertions, use int32_t (since the wire protocol uses that,
and we don't want to use 16-bit integers on exotic systems) and
switch the stride check to be overflow-safe.
Call glGetGraphicsResetStatusKHR in wlr_renderer_begin to figure
out when a GPU reset occurs. Destroy the renderer when this
happens (the OpenGL context is defunct).
Allow to get whether has alpha channel of the VkImage, it can help an
optimization to disable blending when the texture doesn't have alpha.
Because the VkFormat isn't enough because it's always set to
VK_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_SRGB or VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_SRGB.
Before re-using a VkCommandBuffer, we need to wait for its
operations to complete. Right now we unconditionally wait for
rendering to complete in vulkan_end(), however we have plans to
fix this [1]. To fully avoid blocking, we need to handle multiple
command buffers in flight at the same time (e.g. for multi-output,
or for rendering followed by texture uploads).
Implement a pool of command buffers. When we need to render, we
pick a command buffer from the pool which has completed its
operations. If we don't find one, try to allocate a new command
buffer. If we don't have slots in the pool anymore, block like we
did before.

Up until now we were using a VkFence for GPU-to-CPU
synchronization. This has some limitations that become a blocker
when trying to have multiple command buffers in flight at once
(e.g. for multi-output). It's desirable to implement a command
buffer pool [1], but VkFence cannot be used to track command buffer
completion for individual subpasses.
Let's just switch to timeline semaphores [2], which fix this issue,
make synchronization a lot more ergonomic and are a core Vulkan 1.2
feature.

In wlroots we add comments near struct wl_list members to indicate
which type it's linked to. The Vulkan renderer had some comments
with mistakes, and some members without a comment.
