I raised the topic in Khronos when I began the work. The consensus was
that the initial extensions, which are dependent on KHX, should be
prefixed with MESAX. When the final extensions arrive, which would be
based on VK_KHR_external_* instead of VK_KHX_external_*, it would be
good to rename them at that time with s/MESAX/EXT/.
