vkCmdDrawIndirectCount - Perform an indirect draw with the draw count sourced from a buffer

Description

cmdDrawIndirectCount behaves similarly to cmdDrawIndirect except that the draw count is read by the device from a buffer during execution. The command will read an unsigned 32-bit integer from countBuffer located at countBufferOffset and use this as the draw count.
