Is your feature request related to a problem?

Good debugging tools are very important when it comes to graphics programming. So far, we have been using VK_EXT_debug_report, although VK_EXT_debug_utils has been released in 2018 already. VK_EXT_debug_utils offers better debugging tools and features, especially when it comes to an internal resource naming system for debugging and using annotations in rendering regions. All this stuff will be visible in graphics debuggers such as RenderDoc.
