This new renderer is implemented with the existing wlr_renderer API (which is known to be sub-optimal for some operations). It's not used by default, but users can opt-in by setting WLR_RENDERER=vulkan. The renderer depends on VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier and VK_EXT_physical_device_drm.

We currently require the validation layer in the vulkan renderer. If that is not installed, creating the renderer fails. While the validation layer is useful at the moment we probably don't want to abort because it's not installed and (sooner or later) we should disable it by default as it has a significant performance impact.
