Added Vulkan® Support

• VK_EXT_display_surface_counter
  • This extension defines a vertical blanking period counter associated with display surfaces. It provides a mechanism to query support for such a counter from a VkSurfaceKHR object
• VK_AMD_pipeline_compiler_control
  • This extension provides a way to set per-pipeline compiler options, for instance, to relax rounding rules when working with mixed-precision floating point values.
• VK_AMD_shader_core_properties2
  • This extension exposes additional, AMD specific shader core properties for a physical device
• VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control
  • This extension provides additional control over subgroup size, allowing applications for instance to opt-in to different subgroup sizes on devices supporting more than just one.
• VK_KHR_imageless_framebuffer
  • This extension allows framebuffers to be created without the need for creating images first, allowing more flexibility in how they are used, and avoiding the need for many of the compatibility rules.
• VK_KHR_variable_pointers
  • This extension allows implementations to indicate their level of support for the SPV_KHR_variable_pointers SPIR-V extension. The SPIR-V extension allows shader modules to use invocation-private pointers into uniform and/or storage buffers, where the pointer values can be dynamic and non-uniform. This release adds the optional VariablePointers support.
