The shader cache paragraph named a format number that did not match
ShaderDiskCache::FormatVersion (48 against 56 on this branch). Name the
constant instead of repeating its value, so the text cannot go stale
when the version moves. The rejection of other formats and of other
compiler source versions is unchanged.

With APS5_MIMALLOC set, libkernel restarts the title with
libmimalloc.so from libs/ first in LD_PRELOAD, as it does on macOS
with DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES. The macOS restart becomes one
implementation with platform pieces (MimallocRestart.cpp): on Linux
the executable is the target of /proc/self/exe and the arguments
those of /proc/self/cmdline. The restart is a priority 101
constructor, so it runs before libkernel's other initializers. It
gives the standard streams back from an ANYPS5_LOG_FILE copy before
execv, which also fixes the macOS restart under that variable, and
refuses a path the preload list cannot hold.
The build copies libmimalloc.so beside the libraries except in ASan
and TSan builds, the Linux release archives ship it, and the restart
tests run on Linux too, with a new case for ANYPS5_LOG_FILE.

In registration form a vertex module decodes the V# stride, swizzle,
bounds mode and format of every vertex buffer load at run time. Vertex
artifacts are now emitted specialized, as one above
registrationWordLimit already was; pixel artifacts keep registration
form. A vertex stage's pre-rasterization library is built at its first
draw instead of at registration.

Since #8697 every device with shaderDenormPreserveFloat32 and an independent
f32 denormal behaviour gets DenormPreserve 32. RADV on Vega (GCN 5, Mesa
26.0.8) miscompiles the preserving forms of the transcendental ops: its
v_log_f32 lowering picks the denormal scale with a v_cndmask_b32 that reads
two SGPRs, which GFX9 cannot do, so log2(2.0) is 25.0 in some lanes and
agc_driver_log_near_one, vop1_float_unary, fp16_overflow and
float16_result_modifiers fail.
ProbeFloat32DenormPreserve runs v_log_f32, v_sqrt_f32, v_rsq_f32, v_rcp_f32
and v_exp_f32 on normal values with and without the mode, after the flush
probe. The mode only changes denormal handling, but Vulkan does not require
these ops to be correctly rounded, so Float32ResultsAgree accepts each of
the 256 result pairs when they are no further apart than the width of the
interval the Vulkan precision bound allows around the exact result (sqrt's
bound inherited from 1.0 / inversesqrt(), an absolute 2^-21 for log2 inputs
in [0.5, 2.0]). When one falls outside, float32DenormPreserve
stays off and the device keeps its default f32 denormal handling.
The pipeline library paragraph listed per-face depth bias, split alternate
alpha blends, rect lists, geometry shaders and a stage without a variant id
as the pipelines created whole. libraryKeys in Pipeline.cpp also builds a
pipeline whole for barycentrics emulated through generated tessellation
stages, for tessellation on MoltenVK, for a pixel shader with a fragment
shader interlock or with its LDS array in a storage buffer, and for every
pipeline under APS5_PIPELINE_STATS=1, and it tests a stage's
RecompileResult::Identity rather than a variant id. The paragraph now lists
these cases and names libraryKeys.

Follows oneandonlydean's review: on Windows a converted app0 module is
put ahead of the host library only for imports that name its library,
so a bundled module serves those imports, not every NID it exports.

Follows rooklz's review. The bullet now covers Windows and Linux only,
says the Windows stub looks up by symbol name before NID, and states
that Windows searches the host libSceLibcInternal.prx and libc.prx
before the bundled libc.prx for libSceLibcInternal imports, skipping
its exports that only return zero.

An import binds to the first module that exports its NID. The Windows
entry stub searches converted app0 modules before libs, and on Linux the
guest modules loaded at startup come before the host libraries in
DT_NEEDED. A title that ships libc.prx therefore runs its own libc for
the NIDs that module exports.

ShaderMemory.cpp and Draw.cpp enable the draw pipeline whenever the
variable exists, unlike APS5_PIPELINE_DISPATCH, which treats an empty
value and 0 as off.
_submit executes inline only when the queue is neither running nor holding
pending work; otherwise it enqueues a copy and returns the id, so the
statement that buffers without a wait always complete first was wrong.
TechnicalDebt.md only links back to this section; the list of calls that
act on a cancellation request and the note on the asynchronous type are
the Thread cancellation entry of debt/libkernel.md.
