Description

(attempted in https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/pull/8908)

We should have a way to build VVL without VK_ENABLE_BETA_EXTENSIONS to prevent experimental apps

Combined with https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Headers/pull/464 we should be able to have a separate build

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attempted pull request #8908 and the referenced SPIRV-Headers pull request #464 to understand the proposed separate build. Trace where VK_ENABLE_BETA_EXTENSIONS is configured, then verify that VVL can build without it and that the resulting configuration excludes experimental extensions.
