Added Vulkan™ Extension Support
VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64:
This extension advertises the SPIR-V Int64Atomics capability for Vulkan, which allows a shader to contain 64-bit atomic operations on signed and unsigned integers.
VK_KHR_driver_properties: This extension provides a new physical device query which allows retrieving information about the driver implementation, allowing applications to determine which physical device corresponds to which particular vendor’s driver, and which conformance test suite version the driver implementation is compliant with.
SPV_GOOGLE_decorate_string: This extension provides two new instructions to decorate a variable or a struct member with a string.
SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1: This extension provides two new decorations to extend HLSL functionality: HlslCounterBuffer and HlslSemantic.
