Device Setup & Pipeline cont. - Vulkan Game Engine Tutorial 03

In this Vulkan game engine tutorial we include a device file to wrap functionality surrounding Vulkan API device setup and continue working on our graphics pipeline. I originally intended to complete pipeline creation in this tutorial as well, but in order to give each stage’s configuration a detailed description, I’ve decided to move that into the next video.
