Jon Leech df88ded281 Change log for September 5, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.60 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 60 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Document that <<queries-timestamps, Timestamp Queries>> can only be
    meaningfully compared when they are written from the same queue (public
    issue 216).
  * Document that the `<extension>` tag `type` attribute is required for
    non-disabled extensions (derived from, but does not close public issue
    354).
  * Clean up registry schema length attribute descriptions to be consistent
    and correct (public issue 555).

Internal Issues:

  * Replace as much of the hand-written extension appendix metadata as
    possible with asciidoc includes generated from corresponding attributes
    of +vk.xml+, and enhance the style guide to match. This avoids
    inconsistencies between +vk.xml+ and the appendices, and produces a more
    uniform style (internal issue 137).
  * Remove the generated extDependency.{py,sh} files from the tree and
    create them dynamically on demand instead, reducing merge conflicts
    (internal issue 713).
  * Add a prototype tool for generating in-place difference markup for
    sections guarded by asciidoc conditionals, and new syntax for open
    blocks to support it (internal issue 833).
  * Remove unnecessary restriction of etext:*SYNC_FD_BIT_KHR external handle
    types to the same physical device in the
    slink:VkPhysicalDeviceIDPropertiesKHR,
    flink:VkImportMemoryWin32HandleInfoKHR,
    slink:VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR, slink:VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR,
    slink:VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR,
    slink:VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR
    <<external-memory-handle-types-compatibility, External memory handle
    types compatibility>>, <<external-semaphore-handle-types-compatibility,
    External semaphore handle types compatibility>>, and
    <<external-fence-handle-types-compatibility, External fence handle types
    compatibility>> sections (internal issue 956).

Other Issues:

  * Remove dependency of +VK_KHX_device_group+ on +VK_KHR_swapchain+ (there
    is an interaction, but not a strict dependency), and add a new
    `extension` attribute to the `<require` XML tag to allow classifying a
    subset of interfaces of an extension as requiring another extension.
    Update the registry schema and documentation accordingly.

New Extensions:

  * `VK_AMD_shader_fragment_mask` (and related `GL_AMD_shader_fragment_mask`
    GLSL extension)
  * `VK_EXT_sample_locations`
  * `VK_EXT_validation_cache`

--
To use a slink:VkValidationCacheEXT to cache shader validation results, add
a slink:VkShaderModuleValidationCacheCreateInfoEXT to the pname:pNext chain
of the slink:VkShaderModuleCreateInfo structure, specifying the cache object
to use.
The VkShaderModuleValidationCacheCreateInfoEXT struct is defined as:
include::../../api/structs/VkShaderModuleValidationCacheCreateInfoEXT.txt[]
* pname:sType is the type of this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
* pname:validationCache is the validation cache object from which the
results of prior validation attempts will be written, and to which new
validation results for this VkShaderModule will be written (if not
already present).
