shader: reuse the returned value on compare-exchange retry - #716
When an atomic compare-exchange fails, it returns the value it found in memory. The patch saves that value and uses it as the expected value on the next try.
This ports jpkto’s fix from [Lichii PR #206](zortos293/Lichii#206). The new test checks the generated SPIR-V for the storage float atomic retry path.

Tested on Windows
The regression test fails on stock Eglantine nx2 at 0857e8b4a7. I ran the patched atomic retry and global memory tests and got 656 passing assertions across three separate test cases.
Improved the reliability of shader atomic updates for packed half-precision and 32-bit values. When an update must retry, it now uses the latest value returned by the previous attempt rather than relying on an earlier value. This helps ensure updates are based on the most recent data and reduces the chance of inconsistent results during concurrent shader operations.

SPIR-V CAS loops now use compare-exchange results as expected values for subsequent attempts. The half-vector storage-buffer CAS calls specify U32 memory values. New tests check emitted SPIR-V retry instructions for float32 and float16x2 storage atomics.

Summary
CAS loop emission src/shader_recompiler/backend/spirv/spirv_emit_context.cpp
CasLoop uses word-sized expected values for packed-half and U32 memory operations. The storage-buffer write CAS loop retains each compare-exchange result for the next attempt. Half-vector add, min, and max calls now specify U32 memory values.
Djihads80/Eglantine#503: This PR also changes CAS-loop behavior for storage-buffer emulation and shared-memory pointer selection.

Merge Risk: Low · up to fa431
The changed retry paths have no established production failure, but some paths remain untested and the new regression check can miss an overwritten expected value. These are bounded test-coverage risks suitable for owner follow-up.

The test covers only the scalar storage-float path. Add returned-word retry checks for the packed-half branch, shared-memory and storage increment/decrement paths, and DefineWriteStorageCasLoopFunction.
For the storage-write case, enable uses_int8 or uses_int16 and disable direct access for that width.

the returned U32 word when the exchange fails.

Check that the returned word reaches the next retry.
An intervening store can overwrite the returned word without failing these assertions. A fresh memory load may return a stale value. Check that the failure back-edge reaches the next comparator load without another store to the expected-value variable.

Update the SPIR-V assertions around expected so they verify that the failure
back-edge reaches the next comparator load without an intervening OpStore to the

elsewhere in the instruction list.

I saw that 18106bdf49 landed in nx2 with the compare-exchange retry fix, the packed-half correction, and tests for the generated helpers. #716 now has merge conflicts against nx2-experimental.
The test in #716 also emits actual packed-half add, min, and max calls. I ran the patched tests locally and got 3,738 passing assertions across four test cases.
Would you like a test-only follow up based on current nx2 for that call-site coverage, or should I close #716 as superseded?
