v3.2.1: Properly handle SUBOPTIMAL swapchain images

In previous releases of vk-boiler, the default boiler.swapchains.xxx methods would not handle the case where the driver returns VK_SUBOPTIMAL_KHR properly. (This slipped in because I don't have any machine with any driver that ever returns this.) According to someone who does own such a machine, this release fixes the problem.

v3.2.0: Improve the (Mapped)VmaBuffer API

This library used to have both a VmaBuffer and MappedVmaBuffer record. In this new version, VmaBuffer becomes a sealed interface that permits DeviceOnlyVmaBuffer and MappedVmaBuffer. In this new release, it is no longer needed to use the MappedVmaBuffer.asBuffer() method because MappedVmaBuffer is already a VmaBuffer.
