Remove special-casing of device reference/release in the wire

The wire's device is externally owned so reference/release were no-ops.
To unify the code paths, remove the special casing and instead
take an extra ref on the device the wire server is created with. This
is functionally equivalent and will allow both the current wire code,
and the incoming change to allow multiple device/adapter creation to
both work.

This CL also makes it possible for the client to destroy the device
before child objects.
A follow-up CL will mitigate this on the server side.

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
