Steam Audio SDK 4.5.0

• Add support for iOS. Steam Audio now supports iOS devices (including both iPhone and iPad) using 64-bit ARM processors and running iOS 11.0 or later.
• Add a "validation" mode to the API. When the flags field has the IPL_CONTEXTFLAGS_VALIDATION flag set when creating an IPLContext, all API functions will perform several additional checks and report errors. This incurs a potentially significant performance penalty, and should only be used to diagnose hard-to-reproduce issues.
