Catchall ticket to capture issues discovered by people when testing the vulkan renderer

1. FXAA is broken
   Fix PR: Fix Vulkan FXAA/SMAA handling and ensure proper Scene_ldr transitions #7639

2. Techroom background render renders to black instead of transparent in SCPUI
   Fix PR: Fix various issues in SCPUI when using Vulkan #7640

3. Icon generation for SCPUI is broken, renders screenshot of SCPUI splashscreen instead of icon
   Fix PR: Fix various issues in SCPUI when using Vulkan #7640

4. Cut to stage briefing effect is broken in SCPUI
   Fix PR: Fix various issues in SCPUI when using Vulkan #7640

5. Vulkan-exclusive options like hdr and rt should be hidden from the options menu in OpenGL mode
   Fix PR: Fix various issues in SCPUI when using Vulkan #7640

6. SCPUI-generated icons are upside down (check coordinate system issues)
   Fix PR: Fix inverted scpui icons and 3d ship/weapon select models rendering in the wrong place #7647

7. Solaris M21 has weirdly low performance

8. SCPUI icon coloring is off

11. Mouse controls shadows????
    See BtA 2 Icebreaker for repro

12. SCPUI loading bar flickers during mission load

EDIT: Actually SCPUI is reactive as far as options go. If the engine removes HDR/raytracing options are removed from the options menu not only in ogl but if they are not supported, that covers all needs. The latter may be more tricky. It's easy to remove based on vulkan vs ogl right now because it's a command line toggle. Removing options based on hardware capability depends on where those checks happen.

Tldr; if the engine can actually remove options from the options system based on rendering engine and/or hardware capability, that'll cover everything SCPUI needs.
