QEMU with VirtIO GPU Vulkan Support

With its latest reales qemu added the Venus patches so that virtio-gpu now support venus encapsulation for vulkan. This is one more piece to the puzzle towards full Vulkan support.

An outdated blog post on clollabora described in 2021 how to enable 3D acceleration of Vulkan applications in QEMU through the Venus experimental Vulkan driver for VirtIO-GPU with a local development environment. Following up on the outdated write up, this is how its done today.

# Steam "Pressure Vessel" runtime eliminator.
#
# Valve ships various pre-packaged runtime environments for games to use.
# They are cool, in a way: Most games "just work" with them.
# However, such convenience comes at the cost of performance and sometimes reliability.
#
# Normally, I disable any and all such runtimes and install all the required dependencies myself.
# However, running Windows games using Proton enforces use of a runtime.
# That runtime is shipped in a "Pressure Vessel" container, which is more isolated.
