Overview

On 32-bit platforms, Vulkan non-dispatchable handles such as VkBuffer are represented as uint64_t, and Vulkan-Hpp disables implicit conversions for type safety. This exposes two issues in ggml-vulkan:

1. vk::Buffer is streamed directly into std::ostream in debug/memory logs.
2. vk::Buffer is cast to VkBuffer before being passed to Vulkan-Hpp CommandBuffer::copyBuffer APIs.

Fix these by adding the operator<< for vk::Buffer, and by passing vk::Buffer directly to Vulkan-Hpp copyBuffer calls.

You missed some cases, but instead of manually casting everything, wouldn't it be easier to add the operator for vk::Buffer, e.g. (untested):

inline std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, vk::Buffer b) {
    return os << static_cast<VkBuffer>(b);
}

This fell off our radar, sorry. I assume it is still valid? Can you check if it still applies to the master branch?

I rebased onto master, and the patch still applies. Without this patch, still get errors on 32 bit:

error: invalid operands to binary expression ('ostream' ... and 'vk::Buffer')
error: no matching member function for call to 'copyBuffer'

Thank you, sorry for the delay
