Yamagi 8f6a085434 Remove ref_vk, the Vulkan renderer ported from vkQuake2. 
While having a Vulkan renderer in Yamagi Quake II sounded like a good
idea, especially for cheap hardware with broken OpenGL drivers, the last
weeks showed that the code is not ready for primetime. Some examples
for critical problems:

 * Render glitches when using non-standard assets. Everything with more
   polygons and texture resultion than baseq2 seems to be broken.
 * The startup and shutdown code is a mess. While I fixes the most
   critical bug, there're a lot of cases left. Startup and shutdown
   mostly works by luck.
 * At least one memory leak in the model code.

And neither @DanielGibson nor myself have deeper knowledge about Vulkan.
We don't have the time and the motivation to learn it. While some
community members did excellent work on ref_vk (especially @0lvin and
@rg3), the community maintenance promised in the initial pull request
never really materialized. Therefor we risk ending up with a renderer
that we can't and won't maintain by ourself.

Vulkan is not gone. The code will be recommitted in a separate
repository at: https://github.com/yquake2/ref_vk

We're willing to give community members commit access to that
repository. Send a substantial pull request and ask for it.

Yamagi Quake II

Yamagi Quake II is an enhanced client for id Software's Quake II with focus on offline and coop gameplay. Both the gameplay and the graphics are unchanged, but many bugs in the last official release were fixed and some nice to have features like widescreen support and a modern OpenGL 3.2 renderer were added. Unlike most other Quake II source ports Yamagi Quake II is fully 64-bit clean. It works perfectly on modern processors and operating systems. Yamagi Quake II runs on nearly all common platforms; including FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Windows and macOS (experimental).

This code is built upon Icculus Quake II, which itself is based on Quake II 3.21. Yamagi Quake II is released under the terms of the GPL version 2. See the LICENSE file for further information.
