Metal does not seem to like it when we collect 50+ command buffers at once. Adjust the aiks context logic to regularly flush the cmd buffers.

This change reverts the following previous change:
Original Description:
The Impeller Vulkan backend benefits from batching submission to the vk graphics queue. Managing this automatically is non-trivial and adds surprising/fragile thread based behavior, see: https://github.com/flutter/engine/pull/49870
Instead, introduce an impeller::CommandQueue object that command buffers must be submitted to in lieu of CommandBuffer->Submit, which has been made private.
TLDR
old
```c++
buffer->Submit();
```
new
```c++
context.GetQueue()->Submit({buffer});
```
The Metal and GLES implementations internally just call the private CommandBuffer->Submit, though there may be future opportunities to simplify here. The Vulkan implementation is where the meat is.
Aiks takes advantage of this by storing all command buffers on the aiks context while rendering a frame, and then performing one submit in aiks_context render. I don't think this will introduce any thread safety problems, as we don't guarantee much about aiks context - nor do we use it in a multithreaded context as far as I know.
Other tasks such as image upload still just directly submit their command buffers via the queue.

First triangle, in the framework! 🎉
Adds shader libraries, pipelines, command buffers, render passes, etc.
* Light pipelines/shader objects. No optimization yet, pipeline warming
to come.
* "Dynamic" command style. Don't re-send bindings if you don't need to.
Essentially: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/133179
* No need to explicitly encode passes.
* Minimal descriptor usage.
* Nothing is async, except for the optional command buffer completion
callback.
It took a bunch of experimenting to get here, but I think things are
starting to look pretty neat. :)
Todo:
* Land the shader bundle format/remove the testing hacks & fixtures that
piggyback off of the runtime effect system.
* Add remaining calls for blend config, clearing bindings, etc.
* Inconsistent error handling patterns that need cleanup.
* Maybe: Surface exceptions for validation errors.
* Handle the texture usage bitmask more elegantly.
