render/vulkan: Optimize vertex shader

This ends up being a horrible global load:

With some bit magic, we can get something much nicer:

  v_add_u32     v0, s2, v0                              // 000000000000: 68000002
  v_add_u32     v1, 1, v0                               // 000000000004: 68020081
  v_and_b32     v1, 2, v1                               // 000000000008: 26020282
  v_cvt_f32_i32  v1, v1                                 // 00000000000C: 7E020B01
  v_mul_f32     v1, 0.5, v1                             // 000000000010: 0A0202F0
  v_and_b32     v0, 2, v0                               // 000000000014: 26000082
  v_cvt_f32_i32  v0, v0                                 // 000000000018: 7E000B00
  v_mul_f32     v0, 0.5, v0                             // 00000000001C: 0A0000F0
  v_mov_b32     v2, 0                                   // 000000000020: 7E040280
  v_mov_b32     v3, 1.0                                 // 000000000024: 7E0602F2
  exp           pos0, v1, v0, v2, v3 done               // 000000000028: C40008CF 03020001
  exp           param0, off, off, off, off              // 000000000030: C4000200 00000000
  s_endpgm                                              // 000000000038: BF810000

The above output was based on just shoving it in ShaderPlayground -- I was not able to use pipeline feedback as I was unable to get RenderDoc working due to the EXT_physical_device_drm requirement.

I additionally considered using >> 1 instead of * 0.5, but AMD has dedicated modifiers to merge a * 0.5, * 2.0, etc in a single instruction. (Albeit, not taken advantage of in the code above, but might with ACO)
