Calculation of swapchain image count is confusing #261

Description

@SaschaWillems

The documentation around the number of swapchain images the tutorial uses is kinda confusing to readers and should be reworked.

This code e.g.:

 auto minImageCount = std::max( 3u, surfaceCapabilities.minImageCount );

Is followed by code that uses a different variable:

uint32_t imageCount = surfaceCapabilities.minImageCount;

Which is then not used for swapchain creation.

It also says that it's recommended to use minImageCount + 1 images, without quoting any source. Not sure if that's actually a recommendation.
