It's easier for Visual Studio users that want this information to turn it on
or live without it, than it is to explain why every debugger that isn't Visual
Studio crashes out here. Eventually SetThreadDescription() will be the thing
everyone uses anyhow.
Fixes Bugzilla #3645.
(and several others).
"In particular, only one VkSurfaceKHR can exist at a time for a given window. Similarly, a native window cannot be used by both a VkSurfaceKHR and EGLSurface simultaneously"

These don't have to be power-of-2 sizes anymore because of SDL_AudioStream,
and the new resampler, but also, many platforms don't give you power-of-2 DMA
buffer in the first place!
This should remain binary compatible with Windows XP, as we dynamically
load anything we need and fall back to DirectSound/WinMM/XAudio2 if not
available.
This defaults to the internal SDL resampler, since that's the likely default
without a system-wide install of libsamplerate, but those that need more can
tweak this.

The attached patch does the following for the X11 and Windows platforms, the only ones where SDL attempts to use context_create_es_profile:
- Adds SDL_HINT_OPENGL_ES_DRIVER by which the application can
say to use the OpenGL ES driver & EGL rather than the Open GL
driver. (For bug #2570)
- Adds code to {WIN,X11}_GL_InitExtensions to determine the maximum
OpenGL ES version supported by the OpenGL driver (for bug #3145)
- Modifies the test that determines whether to use the OpenGL
driver or the real OpenGL ES driver to take into account the
hint, the requested and supported ES version and whether ES 1.X
is being requested. (For bug #2570 & bug #3145)
- Enables the testgles2 test for __WINDOWS__ and __LINUX__ and adds
the test to the VisualC projects.
With the fix in place I have run testdraw2, testgl and testgles2 without any issues and have run my own apps that use OpenGL, OpenGL ES 3 and OpenGL ES 1.1.

Compiling even a simple SDL2 'hello world' program with gcc -Wstrict-prototypes (GCC 6.2.1) results in warnings like:
/usr/include/SDL2/SDL_gamecontroller.h:143:1: attention : function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GameControllerNumMappings();

It seems there is a missing 'void' between the parentheses.
This currently doesn't affect absolute motion, which would need to be implemented on each windowing system so the cursor matches the reported mouse coordinates.

SDL2 allows to create widow and to get information through SDL_SysWMinfo.
But it misses something, with Vulkan, you need the HWND and HINSTANCE of the window for Win32 system.
Sadly, SDL2 provides only HWND but not HINSTANCE.
In some context, it can be difficult to get the HINSTANCE, indeed, I'm using pySDL2 (Python) and I can only access properties that SDL2 gives me.
I have to use a dirty trick like that to get the HINSTANCE: (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bglgwyng/pyVulkan/master/examples/win32misc.py)
