I ran this through 'guix style' ...

> +entrypoints required to use Vulkan without linking to vulkan-1.dll or
> +statically linking Vulkan loader. Additionally, volk simplifies the use of

... and simplified the description somewhat, + added two spaces after
sentences ('guix lint' should warn about this).
