VkSwapchain: only use FifoRelaxed when tearing is allowed - #79

FifoRelaxed tears when frames come in slower than the screen's refresh rate, as opposed to Fifo which would simply wait. This may be desirable on fixed refresh rate monitors, but can break variable refresh rate (tearing instead of slowing the monitor down) on some drivers. Hence: gate behind the existing toggle for tearing.
