<summary>Changes</summary>

This commit sets the target requiresSCFG to true when building Vulkan. This is a first step toward bringing structured control flow to this backend.

Now that we have this flag, we can disable a first problematic transformation: removal of branches when it falls through. This is required in the SPIR-V specification:
        - Each basic block MUST end with a branch instruction.
This means it is not valid to just fall-through.

note: this commit does not generate valid CFG for graphical SPIR-V. Merge headers are missing, and outside of this specific edge case, we don't generate structured SCFG. Just a first independent step.
