[Fix] (DirectVulkan): shrink the blended depth-write quirk to MIN/MAX extremum blends only - a fixture-wide trace sweep showed the additive ONE+ONE arm never fires on the 26.3 OIT chain (its accumulation passes disable depth writes themselves) and only hit unrelated additive glow content; also fail reflection toward the gl_FragDepth exemption and zero phantom default-FBO blend slots so stale indexed state cannot trigger the strip
