Improvements

MemoryStack: Increased default stack size to 64kb (up from 32kb)
Shared library loading can now utilize a ClassLoader specified by the caller. (#277)
Significantly reduced DEBUG_MEMORY_ALLOCATOR and DEBUG_STACK overhead in Java 9 using the new StackWalker API.
Migrated windows builds to appveyor and updated to Visual Studio 2017 (up from 2015)
EGL: The core API now includes javadoc links to the Khronos references pages
OpenGL ES: The core API now includes javadoc links to the Khronos references pages

Fixes

Assimp: Struct member nullability fixes
Linux: Removed dependencies to newer GLIBC versions.
LibOVR: Fixed layout of the ovrInputState struct.
OpenAL: Removed buffer auto-sizing from alcCaptureSamples. The number of samples must now be specified explicitly, similar to alcRenderSamplesSOFT.
Vulkan: Function addresses are now retrieved only once, using the optimal method for each function type.
- This avoids warnings on pedantic validation layers.
Fixed callback invocation bugs on 32-bit architectures.
Fixed various javadoc formatting issues (#308)

Breaking Changes

Mapped more integer parameters and return values to Java boolean, that were missed while working on #181.
- Xlib's Bool
- OpenCL's cl_bool
- DynCall's DCbool
Moved JNI global reference functions from MemoryUtil to the generated org.lwjgl.system.jni.JNINativeInterface.
The Vulkan capabilities have been split into two classes: VKCapabilitiesInstance and VKCapabilitiesDevice.
- Flags for core Vulkan versions exist in both classes.
- Flags for instance extensions exist only in VKCapabilitiesInstance.
- Flags for device extensions exist only in VKCapabilitiesDevice.
- Functions that dispatch on VkInstance or VkPhysicalDevice exist only in VKCapabilitiesInstance.
- Functions that dispatch on VkDevice and device-derived handles exist only in VKCapabilitiesDevice.
- Bootstrapping functions can be retrieved with VK.getFunctionProvider().
