build: Remove Volk dependency The intent of using Volk for function loading was to validate Volk's implementation continually with each header update. This didn't end up occurring, as Volk does not get updated in lock step with Vulkan-Tools, leading to Vulkan-Tools using an older version of Volk. And then during SDK release the version would need to be updated at the last minute, causing churn and extra work. Function loading now occurs in two new files, cube_functions.h and vulkaninfo_functions.h. Since both cube and vulkaninfo's function usage are fixed (as in not code-generated), it is straightforward to implement the necessary Vulkan-Loader library opening and function loading code.
This project provides Vulkan tools and utilities that can assist development by enabling developers to verify their applications correct use of the Vulkan API.

Updates to this repository which correspond to a new Vulkan specification release are tagged using the following format: v<version> (e.g., v1.3.266).
Note: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not imply the same quality level as SDK tags. SDK tags follow the vulkan-sdk-<version>.<patch> format (e.g., vulkan-sdk-1.3.266.0).
This scheme was adopted following the 1.3.266 Vulkan specification release.
