c1fec9e8af perf(ui): scope inter-dispatch barrier to swapchain image (#48)
UIRenderer::Dispatch inserted a queue-wide VkMemoryBarrier
(SHADER_WRITE -> SHADER_READ|WRITE) before every dispatch after the
first, flushing/invalidating all shader caches even though the only
hazard is the read-modify-write of the single swapchain storage image
that every UI pass shares.

Narrow it to a VkImageMemoryBarrier scoped to that image's subresource
(COMPUTE -> COMPUTE, GENERAL -> GENERAL, no layout transition). Same
correctness — later passes still observe earlier passes' writes — but
only this image's caches are flushed; unrelated resources are no longer
invalidated.

This is a narrower cache flush only: the execution dependency stays
compute->compute queue-wide, so passes still do not overlap. Eliminating
the barriers entirely requires pass fusion (#47) and is intentionally
out of scope here.
