SPIR-V tools did not turn out to be useful, but increased the
binary size by a significant amount and caused build problems.
- spirv-opt: Far too slow for the intended purpose, and Nvidia
specific shader issues have been reported and fixed.
- spirv-val: Not much value in practice since shaders can be
written to a directory and validated manually.
An application might need to wait for a resource to become available
just after it has been created, in which case its initialization
commands might not have been dispatched yet. If no rendering commands
were issued on the immediate context prior to the wait operation,
WaitForResource would stall indefinitely.
Not having to wait for an image->buffer copy to finish on the
GPU allows for more efficient synchronization. Significantly
improves performance in The Witcher 3.
* [dxvk] fixes for MSVC
* nullptr -> int is illegal conversion for MSVC. nullptr was replaced with VK_NULL_HANDLE
* MSVC does not support source code strings longer than 65535 chars. String was replaced with array of chars.

* __mingw_uuidof() does not exists in MSVC
* apply GCC pragma only for GCC
* added missing header
