A convenience subclass of QWindow that provides a Vulkan-capable
window with a double-buffered FIFO swapchain.
While advanced use cases are better served by a custom QWindow
subclass, many applications can benefit from having a convenient
helper that makes getting started easier.
Add also three examples of increasing complexity, and a variant that
shows embeddeding into widgets via QWindowContainer.
[ChangeLog][QtGui] Added QVulkanWindow, a convenience subclass of
QWindow.

For Android, Windows and xcb. Verified on Win10 with NVIDIA, Win10
with AMD, Android with Tegra K1, Android aarch64 with Tegra X1, and
Linux aarch64 with Tegra X1 (Jetson TX1, L4T).
Introduce QPA-based Vulkan library loader, core function resolver, and
instance creation support. In addition to creating a new VkInstance,
adopting an existing one from an external engine is supported as well.
The WSI specifics are hidden in the platform plugins. Vulkan-capable
windows use the new surface type VulkanSurface and are associated with
a QVulkanInstance.
On Windows VULKAN_SDK is picked up automatically so finding vulkan.h
needs no additional manual steps once the LunarG SDK is installed.
[ChangeLog][QtGui] Added support for rendering to QWindow via the Vulkan
graphics API.
