the name of the device file and instead exposes device minor numbers.

DRM defines multiple device node types.
Each physical device may have one primary node and one render node
associated.
Physical devices may have no primary node (e.g. if the device does not have
a display subsystem), may have no render node (e.g. if it is a software
rendering engine), or may have neither (e.g. if it is a software rendering
engine without a display subsystem).
Each physical device can only be associated with a single underlying DRM
device, which have one primary node and may have one render node.

A physical devices always has the primary node if it is associated with a DRM
device. It may have no render node if e.g. it uses a software rendering engine.

To query DRM properties for a physical device, chain
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceDrmPropertiesEXT to slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2.

[NOTE]
====
This extension only returns primary node and render node from the same
DRM device for a Vulkan physical device. Implementations should not return
primary node and render node from different DRM devices.
