Vulkan: Improve texture barrier usage, timing and batching (#6240)

* WIP barrier batch

* Add store op to image usage barrier

* Dispose the barrier batch

* Fix encoding?

* Handle read and write on the load op barrier.

Load op consumes read accesses but does not add one, as the only other operation that can read is another load.

* Simplify null check

* Insert barriers on program change in case stale bindings are reintroduced

* Not sure how I messed this one up

* Improve location of bindings barrier update

This is also important for emergency deferred clear

* Update src/Ryujinx.Graphics.Vulkan/BarrierBatch.cs
