[meta] Vulkan presentation on Nvidia Optimus/Prime

[kvark]

Trying to collect everything we know about this annoying blocker.
TL;DR: on Intel+Nvidia systems, under unknown circumstances, one of the physical devices is failing to either create a surface or present on it, despite Vulkan listing it as the first and specifying the ability to present.

Upstream:

• https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/4688
• https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12212
• https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/10430
• vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices should return the primary GPU first KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader#153

Issues:

• crashes on startup for PRIME enabled hardware thats configured to use the onboard nvidia not the intel #88
• Unable to initialize Zed/Blade on MSI Katana 15 laptop #264
• Cube example fails on Ubuntu 20.10 with Nvidia graphics card enabled gfx-rs/wgpu-rs#673
• WL Vulkan apps are broken with PRIME NVIDIA/egl-wayland#72
• Fix broken Vulkan+Wayland apps with PRIME rpmfusion/nvidia-kmod#3

Mentions:

• Switch to a single GPU context in Blade zed-industries/zed#20853 (comment)

Wayland	570.144.0.0	25.0.4	#264	vkcube also fails on NV

Ideas:

• there appears to be a correlation with platforms. Users on X11 are unable to present with Intel (when Prime selects Nvidia), but users on Wayland are unable to present with Nvidia.
