Polyfill non-4-byte-aligned fills in the Vulkan HAL. (#7317)

This fixes https://github.com/google/iree/issues/7228 by introducing a new `BuiltinExecutables` class under the Vulkan HAL that uses a 1x1x1 dispatch to fill any unaligned bytes within a buffer fill operation. Aligned regions of buffer fills will still use the native `vkCmdFillBuffer`. New CTS test cases provide coverage for each [pattern_size x offset x fill_length] permutation.

Inserting a dispatch into a command buffer (that was expecting to just have a native `vkCmdFillBuffer` transfer operation inside it) requires some special handling:

* Descriptor set layout index 3 is used (Android typically only supports 4, so this is the last slot), to avoid overlap with descriptor set layouts used by the compiler.
* Push constants are tracked for each command buffer so when this dispatch uses its own push constants it can restore from that backup.
* Command buffers that may go down this polyfill path need to run on a queue compatible with dispatch operations (i.e. not transfer exclusive). We had some ideas for adding a compiler analysis and attribute for "will only contain aligned fills", but without that I'm just defaulting to `command_categories |= IREE_HAL_COMMAND_CATEGORY_DISPATCH` where needed.

---

I have not yet tested this in a real program and there are still a few TODOs for optimal performance and correct synchronization behavior.

IREE: Intermediate Representation Execution Environment

IREE (Intermediate Representation Execution Environment, pronounced as “eerie”) is an MLIR-based end-to-end compiler and runtime that lowers Machine Learning (ML) models to a unified IR that scales up to meet the needs of the datacenter and down to satisfy the constraints and special considerations of mobile and edge deployments.

See our website for project details, user guides, and instructions on building from source.

Project Status

IREE is still in its early phase. We have settled down on the overarching infrastructure and are actively improving various software components as well as project logistics. It is still quite far from ready for everyday use and is made available without any support at the moment. With that said, we welcome any kind of feedback on any communication channels!
