P: Add GPU Utilization Limit/Control for Better System Stability

When Use Graphics Processor is enabled, the audio on my PC either freezes or crackles, especially during more demanding tasks such as masking and AI-powered masking.

I assume Lightroom Classic is utilizing the GPU at or near its maximum capacity in these situations.

It would be helpful to have an option to limit or control GPU utilization, similar to the hardware resource controls available in Photoshop. This could help users balance performance with overall system responsiveness and avoid issues such as audio stuttering.

GPU acceleration provides a very noticeable improvement in Lightroom Classic's speed and responsiveness, so I prefer to keep it enabled.
