This adds the possibility to the user code to group visibility and command generation compute dispatch together to reduce the overhead of PSO and pipeline switch. This PR also make passes that have been submitted (i.e.: that generated commands) as read-only. This allows to automatically remove redundant command generation when submitting the same pass with the same view multiple times, or, remove redundant visibility calculation for the same view in multiple passes. This automation is done for the common usage of the API (using `submit`). Custom usage (using `submit_only`) needs to abide by the rule of the API and update visibility and commands when required.
