With MSAA, a framebuffer textured as CLUT indices was read resolved, so the
indices along edges were averages of the samples and looked up wrong colors.
Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team draws its outlines from a CLUT32 lookup of
its framebuffer, and they came out noisy and miscolored. Copy each pixel's
first sample with texelFetch into a temporary buffer and look up that.
This needs the multisampled color images to be sampled, and transitioned
back to attachment layout before rendering to them again.

The GE's blend terms are floor((2c+1)(2f+1)/1024), which truncates, while the
hardware multiplies by f/255 and rounds, so every pass of a fixed color blend
chain came out up to a level brighter. God Eater Burst's bloom is many such
passes and ended up far too bright.
For additive FIXA/FIXB blends that aren't just 0 and 0xFFFFFF, the shader
now computes the src term exactly and lowers it by 0.5 - (2B+1)/1024, and the
blend constant is the GE's dst factor (2B+1)/512, so the hardware's rounding
of the sum lands on the GE's floor (except where the src term would go below
zero). Blend constants are passed as floats to make that possible.

Nothing has generated or used a geometry shader since the GS paths were removed
- GeometryShaderGenerator is gone, and ShaderWriter's BeginGSMain/EndGSMain had
no callers at all. Removes ShaderStage::Geometry and everything hanging off it:
the GS preambles and GSMain helpers in ShaderWriter, the stage mappings in all
three thin3d backends, the D3D11 geometry shader plumbing (curGS_, the pipeline
and module members, gs_4_0 compilation), CreateGeometryShaderD3D11, the unused
PipelineFlags::USES_GEOMETRY_SHADER and PipelineManagerVulkan's
UsesGeometryShader().
Also stop enabling the Vulkan geometryShader device feature, since we no longer
have any use for it.
Kept on purpose: the device feature is still listed in the feature dumps (like
other capabilities we don't use), and the Vulkan shader cache header keeps its
now-always-zero geometry shader count so the on-disk format stays compatible.
GetRenderPass() looks up and inserts into renderPasses_ from the main thread
(EndCurRenderStep, CreateGraphicsPipeline) and from the render thread
(PerformBindFramebufferAsRenderTarget), unsynchronized. The render thread really
does insert rather than only hit: PreprocessSteps rewrites the load actions to
CLEAR when it merges a clear-only pass into a later one, after the main thread
already looked up the pre-merge key. DenseHashMap::Insert can Grow(), which
reallocates the buckets out from under a concurrent Get().
VKRRenderPass::Get() has the same problem one level down - it creates the passes
lazily and is called from both threads on the same object, so two threads hitting
an empty slot each create a pass and one gets overwritten and leaked, while the
sample-count branch can queue a pass for deletion that the other thread is about
to hand to vkCreateGraphicsPipelines.
A mutex each. Handing the VKRRenderPass pointer out from under the map lock is
fine, entries are only ever erased all at once in DestroyDeviceObjects.

Haven't been using these for a while.
I've come to the conclusion here that I think it's better to try to
deal with the issues using safe workarounds like copies, instead of
relying on features with somewhat iffy driver support that are not
universal across APIs anyway.
Ran into this with cache files from previous version of my change.
Also bumping the shader cache ID again to avoid this in other ways, but
good to be robust here.
