video_core: split the GPU thread in two (EDEN_NX2_SPLIT, off by default)

The GPU thread (front) takes the CPU's commands, parses command lists
and runs the puller; engine method calls and everything behind them
(registers, draws, dispatches, the rasterizer and its caches) run in
order on a second thread (back), fed through a single-producer
single-consumer ring (gpu_split.h). Work the front did on back-owned
state (end of command list flushes, channel binds, semaphore releases,
syncpoint increments, flush/invalidate requests, presentation) is
deferred into the same ring; the front waits for the back only where it
needs a result from that state: semaphore acquires and MME DMA reads.

EDEN_NX2_SPLIT=1 runs macros on the back. EDEN_NX2_SPLIT=2 runs the 3D
and compute macros on the front against copies of the registers they
read (Maxwell3D/KeplerCompute Front*), drops state writes that keep a
register's value there, and sends the rest. EDEN_NX2_SPLIT_VERIFY=1
compares the copies with the back's registers every 4096 macro calls
(0 differences in 40,193 checks in title 1); EDEN_NX2_SPLIT_CHECK=1
logs the stack of any other thread using the Vulkan scheduler while the
back runs. Switch 2 titles, Vulkan, non-accurate GPU only.

Title 1, 3D attract loop: ~44,000 draws a second on one thread, ~47,400
with EDEN_NX2_SPLIT=1, 50,000-66,500 with EDEN_NX2_SPLIT=2.
