vkQuake 1.30.1 Binaries

Same as https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake/releases/edit/1.30.0 but with workaround for AMD driver bug causing corrupted sky and a minor Vulkan correctness fix.

• Support for remastered models (Needs data from remastered Quake)
• Support for dynamic lightmap shadows (requires a ray tracing capable GPU)
• Reworked all option menus
• Support for modern HUD style
• Transparency sorting (thanks @temx)
• Dynamic lights are now computed in world instead of texel space for more consistent light sizes
• New GPU memory allocator
• Improved level load times

Windows binaries require the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable:
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe (32 bit)
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe (64 bit)

Linux AppImage requires at least glibc 2.27. Check with ldd --version if in doubt (any recent Linux distribution should easily satisfy this). FUSE must be enabled and available (see https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/troubleshooting/fuse.html)

• Windows installer, detects existing Quake installations
• vkquake.pak is embedded into the executable, external file no longer used

• Demo recording is no longer interrupted when loading savegames
• fastload command loads savegame without reloading level (bind F6 "save quick"; bind F9 "fastload quick")
• Model .scale support for mods/maps (thanks @Shpoike)
• Lightstyles no longer saturate at 2x brightness
• CPU/GPU optimizations for maps with very large geometry/lightmap footprints
• r_speeds works again, r_showbboxes shows edict numbers
• Various other bug fixes
