rename 'generator' binary to 'vulkan-zig-generator'

This changes the name of the generator binary from something
very generic to something a little more descriptive. If using
the package manager method to use the generator, this will
require updating to the new name.

A CLI-interface is provided to generate vk.zig from the [Vulkan XML registry](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/blob/main/xml), which is built by default when invoking `zig build` in the project root.

``` ```
$ zig-out/bin/generator path/to/vk.xml output/path/to/vk.zig $ zig-out/bin/vulkan-zig-generator path/to/vk.xml output/path/to/vk.zig

This reads the xml file, parses its contents, renders the Vulkan bindings, and formats file, before writing the result to the output path. While the intended usage of vulkan-zig is through direct generation from build.zig (see below), the CLI-interface can be used for one-off generation and vendoring the result.
