Support VK_KHR_buffer_device_address but not VK_EXT_buffer_device_address
To avoid mess in the code. They are not identical! "EXT" version lacks flag VK_MEMORY_ALLOCATE_DEVICE_ADDRESS_BIT* flag.
Refers to #56

- Defragmentation of GPU and CPU memory: Let the library move data around to free some memory blocks and make your allocations better compacted.
- Lost allocations: Allocate memory with appropriate flags and let the library remove allocations that are not used for many frames to make room for new ones.
- Statistics: Obtain detailed statistics about the amount of memory used, unused, number of allocated blocks, number of allocations etc. - globally, per memory heap, and per memory type.
