• Update to the 1.2.162 Vulkan header.
• Add new gfxrecon-replay options for generating screenshots.
• Add new gfxrecon-replay option '--wsi xlib' for replay with Xlib
  surfaces on Linux.
• Add new gfxrecon-optimize command line utility to process trimmed
  files and remove initialization data for VkBuffer and VkImage objects
  that are not used by the captured frames from the API state block
  responsible for the initial state setup.
• Add support to gfxrecon-replay for destroying live Vulkan objects at
  replay exit if the VkDevice object used to create the live object is
  also still live. If the parent VkDevice object is not live,
  gfxrecon-replay will report that the live object was leaked.
• Add support to the Android version of gfxrecon-replay for terminating
  the gfxrecon-replay process when the replay Activity exits.
• Update the logic used by the Android version of gfxrecon-replay for
  determining screen orientation to consider the swapchain
  pre-transform value.
• Update the Android version of gfxrecon-replay to ensure that the
  screen stays on while replay is active.
• Update replay support for descriptor allocation to attempt recovery
  from VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY by creating a new descriptor pool.
• Fix capture issue with handles not being properly unwrapped for
  API calls from the VK_EXT_debug_utils, VK_EXT_debug_report,
  VK_EXT_debug_marker, and VK_EXT_private_data extensions.

Note: Release v0.9.4 does not support the Vulkan ray tracing API.
Enabling capture for an application that uses the ray tracing API
may cause the application to crash.
