Jon Leech 22a5a1459f Change log for October 6, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.124 spec update:
* Update release number to 124.

Github Issues:

  * Fix Makefile SPECREMARK macro to work when not building in a git tree
    (public issue 992).
  * Ignore pname:aspectMask for unused attachments in
    slink:VkSubpassDescription2KHR valid usage statements (public pull
    request 1028).
  * Minor markup / spelling fixes (public pull requests 1035, 1045).

Internal Issues:

  * Fix markup in Valid Usage statement for slink:VkCreateFramebuffer
    (internal issue 1823).
  * Add a new <<synchronization-signal-operation-order, _signal operation
    order_>> section to the synchronization chapter which describes in
    detail the ordering guarantees provided by the API between fence and
    semaphore signal operations (internal merge request 3368).
  * Move generated `appendix/meta/` files into the Makefile GENERATED
    directory (internal merge request 3381).

New Extensions

The `VK_KHR_16bit_storage` extension allows use of 16-bit types in shader
input and output interfaces, and push constant blocks.
This extension introduces several new optional features which map to SPIR-V
capabilities and allow access to 16-bit data in code:Block-decorated objects
in the code:Uniform and the code:StorageBuffer storage classes, and objects
in the code:PushConstant storage class.
This extension allows 16-bit variables to be declared and used as
user-defined shader inputs and outputs but does not change location
assignment and component assignment rules.
=== New Enum Constants
* Extending elink:VkStructureType:
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_16BIT_STORAGE_FEATURES_KHR
=== New Structures
* slink:VkPhysicalDevice16BitStorageFeaturesKHR
=== New SPIR-V Capabilities
* <<spirvenv-capabilities-table-16bitstorage,code:StorageBuffer16BitAccess>>
* <<spirvenv-capabilities-table-16bitstorage,code:UniformAndStorageBuffer16BitAccess>>
* <<spirvenv-capabilities-table-16bitstorage,code:StoragePushConstant16>>
* <<spirvenv-capabilities-table-16bitstorage,code:StorageInputOutput16>>
=== Promotion to Vulkan 1.1
All functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.1, with the
KHR suffix omitted.
The original type, enum and command names are still available as aliases of
the core functionality.
