PipelineCacheValidation drives Device::PipelineCacheDataCompatible
directly (no GPU): synthetic device identities + 32-byte cache headers
assert that a matching header is accepted while foreign vendor/device,
a bumped UUID (driver update), unknown version, undersized headerSize,
and short/empty blobs are all rejected. Mirrors the GPU-free style of
MemoryTypeFallback / UploadStrategy. Also gitignore the serialized
pipeline_cache.bin a real-device test run drops in the working dir.

vkCreateComputePipelines and vkCreateRayTracingPipelinesKHR were passed
VK_NULL_HANDLE, so the driver couldn't reuse compiled shader binaries
across the pipelines built at startup (4 UI shaders + user/RT pipelines)
or across runs.
Add one process-wide Device::pipelineCache. LoadPipelineCache (called
from Initialize) seeds it from pipeline_cache.bin when the file's
VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersionOne header matches this device's
vendorID / deviceID / pipelineCacheUUID; a stale or foreign blob is
discarded so the driver never rejects it. SavePipelineCache is registered
with std::atexit, serialising the cache at process shutdown without any
explicit teardown hook. Both create sites now pass the cache; a null
handle stays valid, so no create-site null check is needed.
