Description of Issue

Screenshots taken with Vulkan set as the Graphics API will have the Red and Blue channels swapped. Setting OpenGL as the Graphics API works around the issue (at the cost of emulation speed).

OpenGL (correct output):

Vulkan (wrong output):

Expected Behavior

Screenshot output should be the same as OpenGL, with no swapped color channels.

Reproduction Steps

1. Click Emulation -> Configure
2. Click Graphics -> Advanced
3. Set Vulkan as Graphics API
4. Open a game
5. Take a screenshot
6. Open the screenshots folder, and you'll see the screenshot has the red and blue channels swapped.
