Minor sokol-zig update: @nurpax has contributed a bindings PR and new Zig sample for the `sokol_framebuffer.h` header. This basically lets you do VGA Mode13h style CPU rendering with just a few lines of zig code.

To run the new sample (on macOS, Linux or Windows):

```zig
git clone https://github.com/floooh/sokol-zig && cd sokol-zig
zig build run-framebuffer

```
