OpenXR SDK (Source) 1.1.43

OpenXR SDK 1.1.43 (2024-11-27)

This release has a few fixes and minor improvements, as well as support for
several new vendor extensions. It also improves the "loader_test" which was
broken on Android. CMake config files are now also included in the Android
loader AAR distributed for this release, for those not using Gradle and the
Android Gradle Plugin's support of "Prefab" format native libraries to consume
the loader.
