Vulkan support

[Milan Nikolic]

I don't know much about Vulkan, all the heavy work here is done by a
third-party video plugin. I just need to provide QWindow with
the VulkanSurface type, that I have currently.  What is missing
is QVulkanInstance and QVulkanExtension. Then similar to how for e.g.
QOpenGLContext you can pass QWindow (with OpenGLSurface) to makeCurrent(),
here one needs to set QWindow::setVulkanInstance to instance and then
QVulkanInstance::surfaceForWindow() should be used with QWindow
(with VulkanSurface).

Thanks,
Milan
