this pull should impact ninja gaiden ragebound only! it makes it playable past stage 4-1.
it contains a workaround for missing maxwell_3d's iterated_blend functionality, which fixes several graphics all over the game.
the issue causes transparency enabled blends (mostly lighting fx) to be wrongly blended into destination, turning textures into black frames.
in stage 4-1 there are lighthing layers in the foreground, causing sprites layer to become overlapped by these opaque black frames, including entire screen in a mid boss fight, making it unplayable* (players maneuvered by turning immortal option on and swinging sword all around until defeating it).
also only in stage 4-1 the fix has a short drawback: when you buff up next attack these problematique blends will be drawn back as black frames, but only for a split second, so no big deal.
this workaround was already discovered and available in PR 302, but in an unconventional way for a game specific override, so we did forbidden it. now it uses classic game specific override solution exampled in core.cpp's System::Impl::LoadOverrides method, so now i guess it's worth to merge it and deliver this to players until we harness iterated_blend control.
additionally I've slightly reworked vk_rasterizer.cpp's RasterizerVulkan::UpdateBlending, if (state_tracker.TouchBlendEquations()) {...} session.
it was made in a way that for a single blend, it exhaustly calls 48 (6 x 8) MaxwellToVK redundant functions, and declared a lambda function inside a 8 laps loop.
reworked it so that instead of 48 calls it makes only the necessary 6 calls, and then merely safely copy the result for the other 7 times.

Eden
Eden is an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator, forked from the Yuzu emulator — started by former Citron developer Camille LaVey and the Eden team. It is written in C++ with portability in mind, and we actively maintain builds for Windows, Linux and Android.
