Change log for OpenXR 0.90.1 provisional spec update (8-May-2019)

No API changes, and only minimal consistency changes to the spec/registry.
Mostly an update for tooling, layers, loader, and sample code.
Header version has been bumped to 43, but no symbols that should have actually been in use have changed.

OpenXR ® Software Development Kit (SDK) Project

NOTE: This repository contains components that will eventually be assembled into an OpenXR SDK, but are currently not organized nor packaged as a distributable SDK.

This repository contains source code and build scripts for implementations of the OpenXR loader, validation layers, and code samples.

The authoritative public repository is located at https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenXR-SDK/. It hosts the public Issue tracker, and accepts patches (Pull Requests) from the general public.
