VULKAN: Deferred texture deletion — avoid vkQueueWaitIdle stalls

Replace per-unload vkQueueWaitIdle calls with deferred deletion
piggybacked on the existing frame fence infrastructure.

Problem
=======

vulkan_unload_texture_internal called vkQueueWaitIdle on every
texture unload.  This drains the entire GPU command queue and
blocks the CPU until all submitted work completes.  During menu
navigation (scrolling playlists, switching tabs), dozens of icon
textures are unloaded in rapid succession, producing cumulative
stalls of 5-20ms — visible as micro-hitches on lower-end
hardware.

There was even a TODO comment in the code:
  /* TODO: We really want to defer this deletion instead,
   * but this will do for now. */

Solution
========

Per-frame-slot deferred deletion lists.  When a texture is
unloaded, its Vulkan resource handles (VkImage, VkImageView,
VkDeviceMemory, VkBuffer) are copied into a fixed-size array
indexed by the current frame slot.  The texture wrapper struct
is freed immediately (it's just a malloc'd pointer), but the
GPU resources are kept alive.

At the start of each frame in vulkan_frame, after the fence
wait for the current slot has completed (guaranteeing all GPU
work from the previous use of this slot is done), the deferred
list for that slot is flushed — all resources are destroyed.

This is the standard Vulkan deferred-delete pattern used by
most game engines and renderers.

Data structure
==============

  struct {
      struct vk_texture entries[MAX_SWAPCHAIN_IMAGES][64];
      unsigned count[MAX_SWAPCHAIN_IMAGES];
  } deferred;

Fixed-size arrays avoid heap allocation.  64 entries per slot
is generous — a typical menu category switch unloads ~20-30
icons.  If the limit is ever reached (extremely unlikely),
the code falls back to synchronous vkQueueWaitIdle for that
single texture, preserving correctness.

The struct is zero-initialized by calloc at driver creation
(line 4900), so no explicit init is needed.

Flush points
============

1. vulkan_frame — start of each frame, after fence wait.
   Flushes the current frame slot.

2. vulkan_free — after vkQueueWaitIdle.  Flushes all slots
   to ensure no resources leak on shutdown.

3. vulkan_check_swapchain — after vkQueueWaitIdle during
   swapchain reinit.  Flushes all slots before tearing down
   pipelines and framebuffers.

Thread safety
=============

All deferred list operations (append in unload, flush in frame)
run exclusively on the video thread:

  - Texture unloads are dispatched to the video thread via
    video_thread_texture_handle (commit 17332fe).
  - vulkan_frame runs on the video thread.
  - vulkan_free and vulkan_check_swapchain run after the video
    thread has been joined or drained.

No cross-thread access to the deferred lists.  No locks needed.

Fence correctness
=================

The frame fence guarantees that all GPU work submitted before
the corresponding vkQueueSubmit has completed.  A texture last
drawn in frame N is unloaded during frame N or later.  The
unload tags the resources on slot S = current_frame_index.
The resources are freed when slot S is reused (frame S +
num_swapchain_images), after waiting on fence F(S).  Since
frame N was submitted no later than frame S, and fences signal
in submission order, F(S) implies F(N) has already signalled.
The GPU is guaranteed done with the texture.  Spec-level
guarantee, no driver-dependent behavior.

Vulkan 1.0 compatible — uses only vkWaitForFences (existing),
vkDestroyImage, vkDestroyImageView, vkFreeMemory, vkDestroyBuffer.
No extensions required.

Performance impact
==================

Menu scrolling: eliminates per-unload GPU stalls.  Texture
destruction is batched and amortized across frame boundaries.

Frame rendering: one flush call per frame iterating a short
array (typically 0 entries, occasionally 1-30).  Negligible.

Memory: deferred textures hold GPU memory for up to
num_swapchain_images frames longer than before.  For menu
icons (~64KB each, ~20-30 per batch), this is <2MB of
additional transient memory.  Negligible on any GPU.
