Implement the webgpu.h swapchains on Metal

The webgpu.h surface-based swapchains are implement on Metal which
required adding the present mode to NewSwapChainBase.

Additional automated tests are added which require getting the Instance
so a new getter is added to DawnTest. Additional some the state tracking
of swapchains is performed in the backend, so the
SwapChainValidationTests are turned into regular DawnTests so they can
check backends do the correct state tracking. To not lose coverage of
the Null backend, a NullBackend() DawnTestParam factory is added.

Finally swapchains cannot be entirely tested in an automated fashion, so
a new example is added called "ManualSwapChainTests" that allows
manually checking a number of properties. Documentation of the controls
and a manual test plan is in a comment at the top of the example's
source.

Dawn, a WebGPU implementation

Dawn is an open-source and cross-platform implementation of the work-in-progress WebGPU standard. More precisely it implements webgpu.h that is a one-to-one mapping with the WebGPU IDL. 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:

  • WebGPU C/C++ headers that applications and other building blocks use.
    • The webgpu.h version that Dawn implements.
    • A C++ wrapper for the webgpu.h.
  • A “native” implementation of WebGPU using platforms' GPU APIs:
    • D3D12 on Windows 10
    • Metal on macOS and iOS
    • Vulkan on Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and Fuchsia
    • OpenGL as best effort where available
  • A client-server implementation of WebGPU for applications that are in a sandbox without access to native drivers
