[Fix, Test] (clientsp, MG_Pipe, Espryt): produce kMGPipeBindSampler and kMGPipeBindShaderImage where D-A4 places them - nothing set either bit, so ImageBindableHint was always 0, the metadata respecify had no live trigger and the remint pull the hint prevents was neither prevented nor counted (final review M-A); the sampler-view resolution notes SAMPLER, glBindImageTexture's state setter notes SHADER_IMAGE at the bind (so the hint precedes the first sync) and the image walk notes it too, both through a contract door since neither may include TextureEmit.h, and Espryt counts every re-mint of storage it already held as tex-remint-pulls (trp= on the stats line, ROADMAP open question 2's number)
