Research direction

Start with the linked D3D12ApplicationIdentity specification and inventory the repository's D3D12 samples. Done means every D3D12 sample calls the documented APIs when using Agility SDK 1.619; verify that the affected samples still build.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We should call the new APIs documented here: https://microsoft.github.io/DirectX-Specs/d3d/D3D12ApplicationIdentity.html, since this will be a best practice that we want to suggest going forward.
