Intel and AMD proprietary drivers are incapable of rendering to texture
views of different formats than the original texture. Avoid creating
these at a cache level. This will consume more memory, emulating them
with copies.
The current texture cache has several points that hurt maintainability
and performance. It's easy to break unrelated parts of the cache
when doing minor changes. The cache can easily forget valuable
information about the cached textures by CPU writes or simply by its
normal usage.The current texture cache has several points that hurt

This commit aims to address those issues.
Avoid illegal copies. This intercepts the last step of a copy to avoid
generating validation errors or corrupting the driver on some instances.
We can create views and emit copies accordingly in future commits and
remove this last-step validation.
Add a flat table to test if it's legal to create a texture view between
two formats or copy betweem them.
This table is based on ARB_copy_image and ARB_texture_view. Copies are
more permissive than views.
