extensions: Remove get_properties() helper from extension wrappers (#728)

This helper function isn't consistently implemented across most
extension wrappers, and promotes bad Vulkan patterns by not making it
obvious to the caller that `get_physical_device_properties2()` can and
should be used to fill multiple properties structs at once.

 - Removed experimental AMD extensions (#607)

 - Removed misnamed, deprecated `debug_utils_set_object_name()` and `debug_utils_set_object_tag()` entirely, use `set_debug_utils_object_name()` and `set_debug_utils_object_tag()` instead (#661)
+- Removed `get_properties` helper from extension wrappers (and `ext::PhysicalDeviceDrm`). Directly call `get_physical_device_properties2()` with a possible chain of multiple structs instead (#728)
