loader: Add validation for apiVersion Add a check to determine if the API version being requested can be handled by the loader. If it can't, then we return incompatible driver. If we can, we continue along our merry way. An addendum is that we also bumped the Loader/ICD interface version. This was requested by Nvidia so that the ICDs know that we pay attention to the version in the loader. If they don't see the new Loader/ICD interface version, they will handle the failing on all non-1.0 API requests. Change-Id: Icb7dd45e754c9f6a6c8186198333bacc68077b93
This project provides Khronos official ICD loader and validation layers for Vulkan developers on Windows and Linux.

Vulkan is an Explicit API, enabling direct control over how GPUs actually work. No (or very little) validation or error checking is done inside a Vulkan driver. Applications have full control and responsibility. Any errors in how Vulkan is used often result in a crash. This project provides standard validation layers that can be enabled to ease development by helping developers verify their applications correctly use the Vulkan API.
Vulkan supports multiple GPUs and multiple global contexts (VkInstance). The ICD loader is necessary to support multiple GPUs and the VkInstance level Vulkan commands. Additionally, the loader manages inserting Vulkan layer libraries, including validation layers between the application and the ICD.
