Previously the Wayland display server would attempt to enable
HDR output and try to detect if it failed afterwards which had some issues.
Now we can query the rendering driver for support and avoid ever enabling
HDR output when this would fail.
Raytracing shader binding table records are addressed through Vulkan
alignment rules that distinguish between the raw shader group handle size,
the per-record handle alignment, and the base alignment required for SBT
region addresses.
The previous layout treated the shader group handle size as the record
stride everywhere. This worked only on devices where the handle size
already satisfied all relevant alignment requirements. It broke down once
multiple ray generation shaders were placed in the same SBT: selecting a
non-zero raygen index advanced the raygen region address by the raw handle
size, which could produce an address that was not aligned to the required
shader group base alignment.
Separate the SBT layout into the appropriate strides:
- ray generation records use a base-aligned stride, since selecting a
raygen shader changes the SBT region start address for the dispatch.
- miss and hit records use the handle-aligned shader group stride, since
their regions start at a base-aligned address and individual records are
selected through the region stride.
This keeps the CPU-side SBT population and the dispatch-time SBT regions
using the same layout, so shader group handles are written to the same
aligned slots that Vulkan later addresses.
This will allow decoupling `display_server.h` from a number of headers in the
codebase which only require those enums and not all the DisplayServer API.
