64bit Support for macOS Catalina

Hi, Based on what I have read, it looks like [macOS Catalina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Catalina) (slated for release in the next few months) will drop support for 32bit applications. I believe this impacts this SDK, which will mean that my game ([Estranged: Act I](https://store.steampowered.com/app/261820/Estranged_Act_I/)) and others will cease to run natively on macOS after the user upgrades their OS. ~~A few questions:~~ ~~1. Is that assessment correct? I only see [32bit dependencies](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/tree/master/sp/src/lib/public/osx32) in this repository for macOS~~ ~~2. Will this impact Half-Life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal?~~ ~~3. If it does and Valve plans to fix those titles, will that work be upstreamed into this SDK?~~ Edit - since this is confirmed to be affecting older Valve first party titles, a few questions based on that: 1. Will this be addressed for older Valve first party titles? 2. If it will be, will that work be merged into this SDK? 3. Are there any plans to merge the Vulkan support as described below to this SDK? Thanks, Alan
