Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 5.5 9be1d223b6 Remove MoltenVK: Metal is the backend on iOS, and the default on Macs

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.

Entitlements.plist is to be used for code signing on macOS.

We enable "hardened runtime" in order to make notarization happy, but we need some exceptions.
