92c8d783b3 renderer_vulkan/wrapper: Add Vulakn wrapper and a span helper
The intention behind a Vulkan wrapper is to drop Vulkan-Hpp.

The issues with Vulkan-Hpp are:
- Regular breaks of the API.
- Copy constructors that do the same as the aggregates (fixed recently)
- External dynamic dispatch that is hard to remove
- Alias KHR handles with non-KHR handles making it impossible to use
smart handles on Vulkan 1.0 instances with extensions that were included
on Vulkan 1.1.
- Dynamic dispatchers silently change size depending on preprocessor
definitions. Different files will have different dispatch definitions,
generating all kinds of hard to debug memory issues.

In other words, Vulkan-Hpp is not "production ready" for our needs and
this wrapper aims to replace it without losing RAII and exception
safety.
