MoltenVK doesn't support a sampler mipLodBias (the portability subset's
samplerMipLodBias is false), so the PSP's LOD bias did nothing on Mac and
iOS, and biased textures came out a mip level blurrier than on OpenGL and
the PSP: MLB's signs and crowd, Burnout Legends, MediEvil, Ridge Racer 2.
Query the portability subset, and where the bias is missing, pass the auto
mode bias to texture() from a uniform instead.
VK_ENABLE_BETA_EXTENSIONS, which declares the portability subset, is now
defined for App Store iOS builds too.

The GE keeps the specular and spot exponents to 5 significant bits,
truncated, and from 512 up (infinity and NaN included) uses 496. Only
the specular one was truncated, and neither saturated. A huge or NaN
exponent overflowed pspPow's bits: highlights wrong on every backend,
and on D3D11, where the overflowing float to int conversion gives a
NaN, black (Everybody's Golf, #22418). With the exponent clamped, t
stays in range for every base the backends produce.
Measured, now bit exact in the software renderer and within 4 levels
on Vulkan.
Fixes#22418

The GE computes these powers as exp2(e * log2(x)), with log2 and exp2
each a straight line between powers of two (Mitchell's approximation),
and only uses the top 4 bits of the specular coefficient's mantissa.
Through a highlight's falloff a true pow is 10-30 steps of 255 brighter
at the exponents games use. Measured in gpu/lighting/specular.

After the previous commit, the optimization is no longer needed, and
unnecessarily bloats the uniform buffer.
This reverts commit 62bcb1785e809649ba88b49e24c5217f457fa040.
* Wrap the display globals in a struct
Makes it easier to search/replace these, for future refactorings.
* Some renaming
* Qt buildfix, also fix the Qt build on Mac (got broken with battery changes)
* Attempt at buildfixing ios
* UWP buildfix
