Add a fast binding sync path for when only one cbuf has changed

SMO implements instanced draws by repeating the same draw just with a different constant buffer bound. Reduce the cost of this significantly by detecting such cases and instead of processing every descriptor, copy the previous descriptor set and update only the ones affected by the bound constant buffer.

Credits to ripinperiperi for the initial idea and making me aware of how SMO does these draws
