It was pointed out to me that we don't actually mention our Vulkan support clearly and prominently in our README. This hopefully addresses that.

Not part of this change but I wonder if would be worth it to have a link that provides more information on what validation actually means? I see that we've got some info in dxil.rst. Not sure if we have more thorough documentation anywhere else.

I'm not sure I'd want to go into the details of shader bytecode validation in the README, but I do think we should document it better. We validate both DXIL and SPIRV, so it isn't unique to DXIL.

Yeah, thats why I mentioned just adding a link. But I didn't find any documentation that I think would be worthwhile linking.
