Native multi-view support ?

[hzqst]

I am looking for native multi-view support to avoid emitting vertices from geometry shader when rendering 6 views into cubemap.

D3D12:

Vulkan:

Similar impl:

The only issue is that in Vulkan multiview needs to be enabled in the render pass, which is annoying.

This would pair amazingly with the OpenXR support that was recently added.
