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

=== Description
The `VK_KHR_shader_float16_int8` extension allows use of 16-bit
floating-point types and 8-bit integer types in shaders for arithmetic
operations.
It introduces two new optional features pname:shaderFloat16 and
pname:shaderInt8 which directly map to the code:Float16 and the code:Int8
SPIR-V capabilities.
The `VK_KHR_shader_float16_int8` extension also specifies precision
requirements for half-precision floating-point SPIR-V operations.
This extension does not enable use of 8-bit integer types or 16-bit
floating-point types in any <<interfaces-iointerfaces, shader input and
output interfaces>> and therefore does not supersede the
`<<VK_KHR_8bit_storage>>` or `<<VK_KHR_16bit_storage>>` extensions.
