fix(window): size the swapchain for its present mode, and key frames in flight by frame instead of image

Window
- CreateSwapchain asked for exactly numFrames (3) images whatever the
  surface said, read them into a three-element array, and keyed the
  command buffers, the fences and the descriptor-heap copy holding "its"
  swapchain image by the acquired image index. A swapchain of another
  size fell back to FIFO (asked for MAILBOX or IMMEDIATE) or threw, and a
  surface whose minimum is above three got a create info below it
  (#160). Mesa's MAILBOX needs four images: Turnip on phoc, llvmpipe on
  any Wayland compositor.
- The present mode is picked first, then the swapchain is sized by
  SwapchainCapabilities: the surface's counts for that mode where the
  instance has surface_maintenance1. With swapchain_maintenance1 the
  swapchain names its mode (VkSwapchainPresentModesCreateInfoKHR), which
  is what makes the mode's own count the one that applies, at creation and
  to the forward progress of a UINT64_MAX acquire; without it the stricter
  of the mode's and the surface's counts for all modes. It asks for
  numFrames or that minimum where more, never past the maximum
  (SwapchainMinImageCount). Turnip's FIFO keeps its three images and
  MAILBOX gets four. The FIFO fallback and presentModeUnfit are gone.
- images, imageViewInfos (was imageViews: they are create-infos), the made
  imageViews that descriptor sets take, imageInitialised and the
  render-finished semaphores are per image, as many as the driver made.
  The views are made once per swapchain. The semaphores only grow, since
  a present of the old swapchain may still wait on one.
- Frames in flight stay numFrames, keyed by currentFrame, frameCounter %
  numFrames: the command buffer, the fence, the acquire semaphore, the
  heap copy (or set), RenderingElement3D::tlases, the frameIdx a pass is
  recorded with. currentImage is the acquired image. currentBuffer is
  gone, so code that used it stops compiling instead of picking the wrong
  one; RenderPass::Record's frameIdx keeps its name and is now the frame
  slot, as RenderPass.cppm says.
- The frame's fence is waited before the acquire. The acquire semaphores
  need no spare then, and a frame waits for exactly the one numFrames
  before it, which the deletion queue and the staging rings count on and
  fences keyed by image did not promise once images come back out of
  order. The swapchain slots are written before the fence is reset.
- From the acquire to the present the window is recording: a Resize or
  SetPresentMode from a listener (a VSync key ticked in onUpdate) takes
  effect after the present, through RebuildSwapchain, together with a
  present that found the swapchain out of date. Rebuilding mid-frame used
  to destroy the image the frame was drawing into; with images sized per
  swapchain it would also index past the new one's end.

DescriptorHeapVulkan
- Frames and images pair up differently from frame to frame, so no heap
  copy can keep one swapchain image. AddSwapchainSlot(slot, window) lists
  an image slot as that window's swapchain image, and Window::Render
  writes the image a frame acquired into its window's listed slots in that
  frame's copy, or its set, before onUpdate, skipping a slot that holds it
  already. A slot is one window's, so two windows can share a heap without
  writing each other's slots under each other's frames in flight. A slot
  listed during a frame its window records is written at once. A slot past
  the heap's image slots, an empty ImageSlot's 0xFFFF among them, is
  refused. Freeing a slot unlists it, as does initialising the heap in
  either binding model. WriteImageSet, the one use of which this
  replaces, is gone, and with it the per-frame dimension of setImageViews.

Device
- VK_KHR_surface_maintenance1 (or EXT) and VK_KHR_get_surface_capabilities2
  are enabled where the loader has them (surfaceMaintenance1Supported,
  vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilities2KHR), and the matching
  swapchain_maintenance1 with its feature where the device has it
  (swapchainMaintenance1Supported).
- DistinctGpus groups the physical devices by GPU as CRAFTER_GRAPHICS_DEVICE
  numbers them, for ChooseGpu and tests.

UI
- UIRenderer lists its output slot instead of writing every copy itself,
  and again on every resize; the resize listener is gone on both
  backends. The headers' frameIdx is currentFrame.

Examples
- VulkanTriangle, Sponza, SponzaBench and RTVolume list their output slot
  and write only the per-frame TLASes. They wrote imageViews[f] into copy
  f once, which a resize left pointing at destroyed images.

Tests
- SwapchainImageCount: SwapchainMinImageCount on the numbers drivers
  report; every offered mode keeps its mode and gets what the window asks
  for; every frame presents the colour it drew, read back a texel per
  frame; a switch and a resize asked for during a frame wait for its
  present; a slot listed during a frame holds its image at once; two
  windows on one heap draw their own colours. The frame checks run again
  in child processes, through CRAFTER_GRAPHICS_DEVICE, on a GPU whose
  swapchains have more images than frames (this one, else llvmpipe), in
  each binding model the parent didn't cover; a child skips only for a GPU
  that can't run the library, and checks it runs the model it was asked
  for.
- FrameLoopSync checks the frame slot follows the frame counter and counts
  the swapchain's own images. HeapASRead, HeapDynamicIndexHit and
  RTPassPushData list their swapchain slot and drop their resize rewrites.

Docs
- README, AGENTS.md and AGENTS.consumer.md: frames and images, the
  swapchain slots, rebuilds held to the present, the new optional groups.

scales it up on a HiDPI output. Natively the frame loop keeps three
frames in flight (`Window::numFrames`) over however many images the
swapchain has: as many as its present mode needs. Where the instance has
`surface_maintenance1` and the device `swapchain_maintenance1`, that is
the mode's own count, which on Mesa's Wayland is below the surface's
count for all modes (FIFO three, Mailbox four); without, the stricter
of the two. `window.currentFrame` picks what lives per frame in flight
(the command buffer, the descriptor-heap copy,
`RenderingElement3D::tlases`, the `frameIdx` a pass is recorded with);
`window.currentImage` is the swapchain image the frame draws into,
`window.images[window.currentImage]`. A shader reads that image from a
heap slot listed with `heap.AddSwapchainSlot(slot, window)`, which the
window rewrites with the acquired image every frame, so nothing is
rewritten after a resize, and two windows can share a heap. A `Resize`
or `SetPresentMode` from a listener of the frame being recorded takes
effect after that frame's present.
