This extension allows an application to source the number of draw calls for
indirect draw calls from a buffer.
This enables applications to generate arbitrary amounts of draw commands and
execute them without host intervention.

=== New Functions

  * flink:vkCmdDrawIndirectCountAMD
  * flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCountAMD

=== Promotion to VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count

All functionality in this extension is included in
<<VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count>>, with the suffix changed to KHR.
The original type, enum and command names are still available as aliases of
the core functionality.
