vkcube doesn't validate presentation support for physical devices

[CendioOssman]

vkcube's device selection is unfortunately a bit optimistic and it blindly assumes that all devices it can enumerate are usable from its context. This is not always the case, and hence it can end up failing to start properly.

This issue showed up when running vkcube in a VNC session (TigerVNC/tigervnc#1674). In that case, the hardware device cannot be use because DRI3 isn't available. But vkcube fails to fall back to the CPU device.

I am a complete newbie when it comes to Vulkan, so I have no idea how applications are supposed to pick devices.

The noticable difference between the VNC environment and a "regular" one (according to vulkaninfo), is that you only get presentable surfaces for working devices. So perhaps that is a good method?

What is the de facto method for picking devices? Is there something TigerVNC can do to help applications make the right choice?
