Asynchronous pipeline compilation
Makes uses of VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DISABLE_OPTIMIZATION_BIT in an attempt to reduce pipeline compilation stutter, and compiles an optimized version of the pipeline on separate threads. Currently, this is only supported on recent git revisions of the AMD RADV driver.
This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the environment variable DXVK_USE_PIPECOMPILER=1.
Known issues: Enabling this feature may cause GPU hangs in Prey (2017) and potentially other games.
