The VK_KHR_present_wait spec states that the wait of vkWaitForPresent() should end as close as possible to the point in time when the presented image for a presentID becomes visible to the user ("first pixel visible").

This can be achived by calling _swapchain->notifyPresentComplete() from MVKPresentableSwapchainImage::endPresentation(), ie from the Metal drawables presentCompleted handler, after Metal signals present completion.

Right now, _swapchain->notifyPresentComplete() is called from the Metal command buffers completedHandler(), ie. when the command buffer scheduling the present completes. This typically happens multiple milliseconds before actual present, and in case of presents scheduled via VK_GOOGLE_DISPLAY_TIMING far in the future, there can be a long time between completedHandler() and actual present completion.

This commit moves the _swapchain->notifyPresentComplete() to the more appropriate place, and behind _swapchain->endPresentation(), so if a client returns from a call to vkWaitForPresent(), potentially queried VK_GOOGLE_DISPLAY_TIMING presentation timestamps are already available for the client to fetch.
