Remove animations on listbox items (#5563)

* Ava: Asynchronously load Vulkan device settings items.

* Sound checks, timezones and network interface async

* Refresh UI items once awaited tasks complete

* Remove unused dep

* Timezone UI update

* Use UIThread dispatcher for thread-unsafe collections + simplify GPU collection.

* Remove empty lines

* Remove unused string

* Dispatch property changes

* format changes

* format 2

* Use Tasks instead of async void

* Make NetworkInterfaceIndex access thread safe.
