iris-aiandiris b234497d21 Draw the glyph atlas as an array texture and images with their own bind groups + primitive rendering overhaul
Replaces the bindless `binding_array<texture_2d<f32>>` the renderer bound every texture through. That array needs `VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing`, which a real share of Android GPUs lack, so the old shape did not run there at all.

The two things being bound want opposite treatment, so they are now split:

- **Glyph atlas pages become layers of one `texture_2d_array`.** A glyph primitive carries a `layer` instead of a view/sampler index pair. A layer index is an ordinary sampling operand, so this needs nothing beyond plain Vulkan 1.0 / GLES. Growing the atlas recreates the array with headroom and `copy_texture_to_texture`s the old layers across, no readback.
- **A standalone image gets its own texture and its own bind group,** and draws in its own call. It no longer needs a per-instance entry in `PrimitiveData`: the bind group has already picked the texture.

`Primitives` keeps images in a list of their own as a result, with `PrimitiveChange::is_image` naming which list a renumbering belongs to -- the two have independent index spaces, so `(layer, inst_idx)` alone would collide between them.

Two notes on judgement calls, since this slice was rebuilt on top of `main` rather than transplanted:

- The source version renamed `GlyphEntry::is_colored` to `is_color` and added a second `IS_COLOR` flag constant beside the existing `GlyphEntry::IS_COLORED`. Both dropped: #10's naming and its `flags()` are kept, and UVs stay `Vec2` rather than going back to `[f32; 2]`.
- `ImageGpu` no longer holds the `Texture` behind its view, which removes an `#[allow(dead_code)]`. A `TextureView` keeps its own reference to the texture, checked by rendering rather than assumed -- see below.

### Verification

```
cargo fmt --all --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings
cargo test --workspace --locked
```

All clean; the 4 text-edit tests pass. The only clippy output is the pre-existing future-incompatibility notice about `naga`/`wgpu`/`winit`.

Because this is a rendering change, it was also run for real rather than only compiled. The `tabs` example was rendered on this machine's GPU -- Venus onto an RX 7900 XT, confirmed from the loaded ICD (`libvulkan_virtio.so` on `/dev/dri/renderD128`) rather than assumed, since a failed Vulkan init here silently falls back to llvmpipe and would make the screenshots meaningless.

Screenshots before and after the change are **byte-identical** (same md5) in two scenes: the default tab, which exercises text (the atlas path) and rects, and the image tab with a standalone image pushed at startup, which exercises the per-image bind group. The image-tab scene needed a temporary local edit to the example to push the image without a click; that edit is not part of this branch. The same comparison, re-run after dropping the `Texture` field, is still byte-identical -- which is the check that the view alone keeps it alive.
