* We remove the now unneeded name fields in buffer/texture descriptions
and some of the pipeline state structs.
* A single function will give the human-readable name for a resource id.
This will look up a custom set of renames, on top of the names from
the resource descriptions.
* When opening a capture file, a format is now available to allow
easy import from another format without a completely different
interface. Only rdc files can be replayed, but any other file can
load and access structured data through the same interface.
* The replay initialisation and capture writing interfaces also use the
RDCFile instead of passing filenames or Serialisers around directly.
Driver initialisation parameters are now entirely private, and don't
need to be exposed - any agnostic metadata like thumbnail, driver, etc
are all accessed via the RDCFile container itself.
* Callstack resolution is now part of the container file, not the
back-end via way of its Serialiser.
* Importers/Exporters to other non-RDC formats are registered in a
similar way to replay/remote drivers.
* It is also then possible to construct an RDC file from thin air, by
creating an empty RDCFile container and filling it with data, then
requesting it to be written to disk.
* Since these types are more prevalent than originally designed, it
makes more sense to remove the namespace for ease of typing/naming.
* Also add a specialised type 'bytebuf' for an array of bytes.
* This makes mapping easier to SWIG since there's no special casing for
namespaced arrays. Especially so for nested cases like
rdctype::array<rdctype::str> -> rdcarray<rdcstr>
* For the most part the interface is stl-compatible, but we have a few
little changes of our own for convenience.
* This class is still needed after deleting the C# UI, because we don't
want to pass C++ stl structs over module boundaries and possibly run
into hard to diagnose incompatibilities.
* Added a couple of utility macros to help with the conversion. lit() is
paired with tr() for untranslated text.
* QFormatStr is more explicitly for non-textual formatting strings.
* Both are just #define'd to QStringLiteral()
* Since we're promoting everything, we reset the behaviour of
RDTreeWidget so that it's not doing anything different by default.
* RDTreeWidget's interface is a bit different, exposing some useful
things like a single selected item and so on.
* We also can't set columns in the Qt Creator UI anymore, so we set them
from code.
* Generally this means removing ref out parameters and instead returning
values. In a couple of cases we will want to avoid copies in future
either by returning const references (e.g. to the pipeline state which
is immutable).
* At the same time, some pointless bool return values that were always
true and didn't indicate errors have been removed. They can be added
again if an error condition comes back.
* Some free functions still have out parameters as C linkage doesn't
allow returning user types by value.
* The C# UI still invokes into C wrappers for all the C++ classes, which
handle taking the return value and doing a copy into an out parameter
still for compatibility.
* Note, this API is still in-flux and beta, so there may still be some
more changes before it's 'stable', and even then it will still be
subject to some amount of change.
* This API is then exposed to python via SWIG bindings and hides
internals that don't need to be visible, and means the actual API is
easier to work with.
* We also use this API to reduce inter-dependencies between different
windows that need to interact with each other at a high level.
* The naming is python/standard RenderDoc TitleCase method names, not
Qt style camelCase methods.

* This goes all the way back to the first iterations where these were
the only structures and 'Fetch' referred to them returning data from
the core code to the UI.
Currently, selecting an event with children (e.g. vkCmdExecuteCommands)
in the event browser will cause the API inspector window to show the
final child event, rather than the event itself. This behaviour makes
sense everywhere else: selecting an event with children shows the state
after all children have completed.
However, for the API inspector, we want to be able see API calls for
the parent event when it is selected rather than those of its last
child, particularly in the case of vkCmdExecuteCommands which may have
other API calls leading up to it.
To allow this, distinguish between the "current event" and "selected
event". For an event with children, the former refers to the last
child, while the latter refers to the event itself. ILogViewerForm now
has two separate event callbacks for when either one changes.
The API inspector now makes use of the selected event, while everything
else continues to use the current event.
