130 Turn off ClipDistance and CullDistance capability checks for Vulkan.
131 - The disassembler can emit friendly names based on debug info (OpName
132 instructions), and will infer somewhat friendly names for most types.
133 This is turned on by default for the spirv-dis command line tool.

135 - Input StorageClass, Sampled1D capability, and SampledBuffer capability
136 do not require Shader capability anymore.

141 work in progress. The intent is to more easly report
142 and summarize functionality when SPIRV-Tools is incorporated
143 in downstream projects.
