Khronos launches Vulkan Video VP9 decode extension for GPU video decoding

Khronos has released the VK_KHR_video_decode_vp9 extension, bringing VP9 video decoding support to the Vulkan Video API for vendor-independent GPU acceleration. This update completes the planned Vulkan Video decode extensions, enabling developers to implement accelerated decoding for all major modern codecs.

VP9 decoding is technically simpler than other codecs in Vulkan, as it requires no global state management.
