Jon Leech 8897c572ce Change log for June 30, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.113 spec update:
* Update release number to 113.

Github Issues:

  * Fix typo in `<<VK_EXT_global_priority>>` appendix (public issue 979).

Internal Issues:

  * Expand the explanation of
    slink:VkSamplerYcbcrConversionImageFormatPropertiesKHR::pname:combinedImageSamplerDescriptorCount,
    and explain how it interacts with slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet,
    slink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding::pname:descriptorCount, and
    slink:VkDescriptorPoolSize::pname:descriptorCount (internal issue 1643).
  * Clarify restrictions on components for code:OpImageGather in the
    <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section
    (internal issue 1707).
  * Clarify the descriptions of <<limits-computeUnitsPerShaderArray,
    pname:computeUnitsPerShaderArray>> and <<limits-wavefrontSize,
    pname:wavefrontSize>> fields in
    slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderCorePropertiesAMD.

New Extensions:

  * `<<VK_EXT_texel_buffer_alignment>>`
  * `<<VK_EXT_shader_demote_to_helper_invocation>>`

This extension exposes shader core properties for a target physical device
through the `<<VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2>>` extension.
Please refer to the example below for proper usage.
=== New Object Types
None.
=== New Enum Constants
* Extending elink:VkStructureType:
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_CORE_PROPERTIES_AMD
=== New Enums
None.
=== New Structures
* slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderCorePropertiesAMD
=== New Functions
None.
=== Examples
This example retrieves the shader core properties for a physical device.
