some games/apps (e.g., DOOM2016) compile+link shaders in one context and then use them in another, expecting that the compiled shaders will be reused. vulkan has pipeline (library) objects, which are not specific to shaders but are in theory representing the shaders being used thus, pipeline (library) objects need to be reusable for any case where a shader can be reused to handle this: * extract pipeline library cache to a refcounted object * store these objects on the screen * make them owned by shaders separable programs are slightly different since they'll use their own fastpath, thus making their library caches owned by the programs to avoid polluting the optimized caches fixes #8264 Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/21223>
