D3D12: use the WGSL binding number as shader register

Currently, the bind group layout tightly packs the shader registers for
each of the sampler and non-sampler descriptors sets. This reduces the
max shader register used and helps targeting shader model 5.0, which has
a relatively low max slot count per resource. It is safe in D3D, since a
shader register collision can be valid if the descriptor types differ.

To support Mesa's SPIR-V to DXIL compiler, we need to avoid possible
collisions between resources' shader registers because it uses SPIR-V as
an intermediate representation (which does not namespace bindings by
type). This change re-works BindGroupLayoutD3D12 to not assume the
resulting shader registers will be tightly packed and group per
descriptor type.

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
