vulkan: Optimize descriptor update queue performance

- Increase frame count (8→12) and payload size (0x20000→0x40000)
- Add batch operations and memory management helpers
- Improve overflow handling with statistics tracking
- Create specialized classes for different workload types
- Implement smart pre-allocation and memory optimization
- Add comprehensive performance monitoring

Improves performance for Switch titles with complex shaders under Vulkan.
