VK_NV_ray_tracing_linear_swept_spheres

This extension adds two new primitives for ray tracing: a sphere primitive and a linear swept sphere (LSS) primitive. The purpose of the LSS primitive is to enable rendering of high quality hair and fur using a compact primitive representation encoded in the acceleration structure. Sphere primitives are defined by a position and a radius and are a subset of LSS, but are useful in their own right, for example for particle systems.

This extension adds support for the following SPIR-V extension in Vulkan:
