[GPU] ship-capture: also dump VS float constants (the placement matrix)

The captured vertex BUFFER holds LOCAL positions (byte-identical to the .xpr) —
capital-ship parts are placed entirely in the vertex shader, not in the buffer.
So the per-part world/WVP matrix lives in the VS float constants. Extend the F10
capture to dump the first 48 vec4 from the SQ_VS_CONST base per draw; diffing two
parts isolates the world matrix (the camera VP block is shared across draws).
