Research direction

Read the changes described in upstream pull requests 2358 and 2443, along with issues #299, #300, and #301. After the upstream changes land, update the Vulkan Tutorial's C++ module guidance to match them and resolve whether the experimental-status warning should remain.

Description

As discussed in #299, #300, and #301, this issue tracks the massive changes to the C++ module in the past several months.

We are working on https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp/pull/2358/ which changes the readme, and should be merged in some time next week. Shortly after, the guidance in the Vulkan Tutorial ought to be updated.

As for the experimental status, personally I am very happy to lift it out once https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp/pull/2443 is merged. The warning is really only there to account for compiler ICEs more than anything else, and non-CMake build systems are happy enough nowadays.
