Standalone DDSloader11 requires dxguid.lib to run

DDSLoader11.cpp will fail to link with when included in a project unless dxguid.lib is loaded.

it references "WKPDID_D3DDebugObjectName" to set the debuginfo.

Obviously setting Debug Names is useful, but unless I'm missing something, there was no way to know that this is a requirement without running into this issue myself. A note in the documentation would go a long way. I spent a fair amount of time trying to figure this out.

I generally assume projects are linking against dxgi.lib, d3d11.lib, dxguid.lib, and uuid.lib. That said, I can add a pragma to the headers to help.

BTW, these requirements are generally documented: https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXTex/wiki/DirectXTex#dependencies
