conformanceVersion
A Vulkan field a driver fills in to state which version of the conformance tests it is officially certified against.
Drivers report a conformanceVersion so software can see they passed formal certification. Because official conformance requires actually going through the certification process, an honest but uncertified implementation leaves it at {0,0,0,0}. Setting it to anything else would falsely claim certification that running a test suite alone doesn't confer.
