OpenGL and Vulkan examples; ptr(int)/int(ptr); trailing commas in calls; drop .fn hint

- examples/opengl.fch: OpenGL 3.3 core, shaders, VAO/VBO, a spinning triangle (checked offscreen)
- examples/vulkan.fch: instance, GPUs with properties/memory/queues, logical device and queue
- ptr(n) and int(p) conversions for C APIs that pass offsets as pointers
- .ptr works on string literals; a comma after the last call argument is allowed
- a missing header included by an imported header is now named in the error
- the old .fn extension hint is gone (Finch is new, there are no old files)

// Vulkan from Finch: create an instance, list every GPU with its properties, memory and
// queues, then create a logical device and get a graphics queue. No window needed.
// Shows big C structs (with arrays of structs inside), out-parameters and Vulkan handles.
// Needs the Vulkan loader and headers (in shell.nix) and a Vulkan driver.
