Merge #5853

5853: Improve error handling in vulkan r=def- a=Jupeyy

so it doesn't assert & shows a message box with the error and some tips

Trying to get more useful information visible to the user on asserts
("dsadsa" ofc testing string)
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6654924/190920609-161825a1-0184-44c4-af0c-1d6bcd343c93.png)

Haven't tested lot, it's lots of smaller changes to the code, hopefully didn't oversee smth^^

## Checklist

- [x] Tested the change ingame
- [ ] Provided screenshots if it is a visual change
- [ ] Tested in combination with possibly related configuration options
- [ ] Written a unit test (especially base/) or added coverage to integration test
- [ ] Considered possible null pointers and out of bounds array indexing
- [ ] Changed no physics that affect existing maps
- [ ] Tested the change with [ASan+UBSan or valgrind's memcheck](https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/#using-addresssanitizer--undefinedbehavioursanitizer-or-valgrinds-memcheck) (optional)
