Add the Vulkan loader as an optional dependency and use it on Mac On macOS we can't rely on having the Vulkan loader installed in the system. So we add the Vulkan loader as an optional dependency of Dawn and use it on macOS when building Dawn in standalone with Vulkan support. Usage of building our own loader might broaden if the loader gains features that are useful on other OSes. For example the ability to pass in the "root ICD" entrypoint to the loader so we can have both Swiftshader and the system driver at the same time.

Dawn is meant to be integrated as part of a larger system and is the underlying implementation of WebGPU in Chromium.
Dawn provides several WebGPU building blocks:
