Vulkan-ize virgl

Summary: accelerated rendering of Vulkan APIs

virgl enables accelerated 3d rendering in a VM. It uses Desktop GL on host, and provides OpenGL/GLES in guest.

This project would aim at implementing Vulkan accelerated rendering. There are multiple ways of interpreting this idea. One interesting approach would be to support Vulkan in VM on a Vulkan-capable host, doing more passthrough.
