Fix the initialization of the buffers with MapRead and MapAtCreation

This patch fixes the issues on the initialization of buffers with
MapRead usage and mappedAtCreation == true.
1. The buffers with MapRead usage and mappedAtCreation == true can be
   read from the CPU side just after the creation of the buffer,
   however at that time the internal pending command buffers may not
   be executed, thus causing the buffer is not cleared as is expected.
2. On D3D12 the buffer with MapRead and mappedAtCreation == true is
   created on the READBACK heap, so all the data written in the CPU
   side cannot be uploaded to the GPU memory. When the buffer is mapped
   again all the original data written through the CPU pointer will be
   overwritten by the data in the GPU memory (which means it is also
   cleared to 0).

This patch fixes this issue by:
1. clearing the buffers with mappedAtCreation == true on the CPU side.
2. on D3D12 making the buffer with MapRead and mappedAtCreation == true
   use the staging buffer instead of mapping itself.

Note that this change is only related to the code path with Toggle
"nonzero_clear_resources_on_creation_for_testing" enabled, currently
we don't plan to do the similar change when we enable Dawn wire.

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
