The iOS and tvOS apps no longer link the static MoltenVK (the
ios/MoltenVK submodule is gone), so Vulkan can't load there and Metal is
the only backend. Without the static case, Vulkan's functions are now
always loaded at runtime (PPSSPP_VK_STATIC is gone).
The Mac app no longer bundles libMoltenVK.dylib (ext/vulkan/macOS is
gone). Metal is the default on Apple Silicon (Intel Macs stay on
OpenGL), but Vulkan still works with a separately installed MoltenVK,
the Vulkan SDK's or Homebrew's, which is useful for comparisons. A saved
Vulkan setting falls back to the default when there's none.
The libretro cores are unchanged: they get MoltenVK from the frontend.
frametests.py's --ios and --adb default to Metal on a Mac host.
