Vulkan Panic: ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED on NV

[John-Nagle]

Short info header:

• GFX version: 0.7.0
• OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
• GPU: NVidia 3070, driver 460.32.03

Panicked at 'internal error: entered unreachable code: Unexpected result - driver bug? Err(ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED)', /home/john/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/gfx-backend-vulkan-0.7.0/src/device.rs:1953:18

Looking at the code in device.rs, it looks like the Vulkan driver returned ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED and the code in device.rs didn't have a match case for that, so it reached the default case and panicked.

Why the driver returned that status I do not know. There are recent reports on NVidia forums of games crashing with that error:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/428627/vulkan-errorinitializationfailed-on-win10-with-gtx/

So NVidia may have changed something that affects this.

This is from a program of mine using "rend3", which uses "gfx". It's happened twice, both times during window resizing. It's just loading a big scene into the GPU, which can then be explored. Visually, everything looks fine. My program, which is 100% safe Rust, is not doing much except refreshing the scene and responding to window events.

[kvark]

Let's make the backend expect this error and turn it into a swapchain creation failure.
