Jon Leech 9a8314cd41 Restructure the repository to put the specification Makefile and
associated material at the top level, vk.xml and associated material in
xml/, and generated include and source files in include/vulkan/ and
src/ext_loader/, respectively (public issue 436).

This extension provides additional orthogonally aligned "`discard
rectangles`" specified in framebuffer-space coordinates that restrict
rasterization of all points, lines and triangles.
From zero to an implementation-dependent limit (specified by
pname:maxDiscardRectangles) number of discard rectangles can be operational
at once.
When one or more discard rectangles are active, rasterized fragments can
either survive if the fragment is within any of the operational discard
rectangles (ename:VK_DISCARD_RECTANGLE_MODE_INCLUSIVE_EXT mode) or be
rejected if the fragment is within any of the operational discard rectangles
(ename:VK_DISCARD_RECTANGLE_MODE_EXCLUSIVE_EXT mode).
These discard rectangles operate orthogonally to the existing scissor test
functionality.
ifdef::VK_VERSION_1_1,VK_KHR_device_group[]
The discard rectangles can be different for each physical device in a device
group by specifying the device mask and setting discard rectangle dynamic
state.
