- Add TRANSFER_SRC to RT geometry usage so device-local geometry (now in
VRAM, no longer host-mappable) stays copyable/inspectable.
- MeshDecompressStagingRelease: read decompressed vertex/index back via a
device->host copy instead of the removed host-mapped .value/FlushHost, and
build the mesh with allowUpdate=true so the retained per-mesh scratch (#66)
doesn't also land in the deletion queue — isolating the assertion to the
released compressed staging (#67).

vertexBuffer/indexBuffer/aabbBuffer were HOST_VISIBLE (system RAM), so the
BLAS build, every refit, and any hit-shader geometry fetch read them over
PCIe. The usage flags (SHADER_DEVICE_ADDRESS, plus STORAGE on the index
buffer) exist precisely to expose geometry for hit-shader fetch, the dominant
RT shading pattern.
Add VulkanBuffer::UploadDeviceLocal, which places a CPU-written/GPU-read
buffer in device-local memory and picks the upload mechanism at runtime via
the #89 strategy (Device::PreferDirectDeviceWrite):
- ReBAR/UMA: allocate HOST_VISIBLE|DEVICE_LOCAL (DEVICE_LOCAL preferred),
map transiently, memcpy, flush-if-non-coherent. No staging buffer.
- no/small BAR: allocate pure DEVICE_LOCAL + TRANSFER_DST, fill a transient
HOST_VISIBLE staging buffer, vkCmdCopyBuffer, then DeferredClear the
staging buffer onto the fence-keyed deletion queue (#101/#102) so it
outlives the copy submit.
The geometry buffers become non-mapped so the destination is free to be
device-local-only. Same-size re-uploads reuse the allocation, so the device
address stays stable across an in-place AS UPDATE refit. The compressed Build
path now allocates vertex/index as pure DEVICE_LOCAL — the GPU decompressor
fills them directly, no host write.
Tests: BLASBuildOptions asserts device-local placement on the triangle,
procedural, and (budget-forced) staged paths, and exercises the staged copy +
deferred-deletion + in-place refit under GPU-assisted validation with zero
validation errors.
