Add glfwInitVulkanLoader

This removes the GLFW_VULKAN_STATIC CMake option and the
_GLFW_VULKAN_STATIC configuration macro and replaces them with the
glfwInitVulkanLoader function, allowing a single library binary to
provide both behaviors.

This is based on the design from PR #1374 by @pmuetschard.

Closes #1374
Closes #1890

@section vulkan_loader Linking against the Vulkan loader
@section vulkan_loader Finding the Vulkan loader
By default, GLFW will look for the Vulkan loader on demand at runtime via its
standard name (`vulkan-1.dll` on Windows, `libvulkan.so.1` on Linux and other
Unix-like systems and `libvulkan.1.dylib` on macOS). This means that GLFW does
not need to be linked against the loader. However, it also means that if you
are using the static library form of the Vulkan loader GLFW will either fail to
find it or (worse) use the wrong one.
GLFW itself does not ever need to be linked against the Vulkan loader.
The @ref GLFW_VULKAN_STATIC CMake option makes GLFW call the Vulkan loader
directly instead of dynamically loading it at runtime. Not linking against the
Vulkan loader will then be a compile-time error.
By default, GLFW will load the Vulkan loader dynamically at runtime via its standard name:
`vulkan-1.dll` on Windows, `libvulkan.so.1` on Linux and other Unix-like systems and
`libvulkan.1.dylib` on macOS.
@macos Because the Vulkan loader and ICD are not installed globally on macOS,
you need to set up the application bundle according to the LunarG SDK
documentation. This is explained in more detail in the
@macos GLFW will also look up and search the executable subdirectory of your application
bundle.
If your code is using a Vulkan loader with a different name or in a non-standard location
you will need to direct GLFW to it. Pass your version of `vkGetInstanceProcAddr` to @ref
glfwInitVulkanLoader before initializing GLFW and it will use that function for all Vulkan
entry point retrieval. This prevents GLFW from dynamically loading the Vulkan loader.
@code
glfwInitVulkanLoader(vkGetInstanceProcAddr);

@macos To make your application be redistributable you will need to set up the application
bundle according to the LunarG SDK documentation. This is explained in more detail in the
[SDK documentation for macOS](https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/sdk/latest/mac/getting_started.html).
