tint: Use "demote-to-helper" semantics for discard

Discard statements no longer affect the behavior or uniformity
analysis. Update the resolver, validator, and several tests to reflect
this.

Some E2E tests were removed as they had loops that are now considered
to be infinite.

Use the DemoteToHelper transform to emulate the correct semantics on
platforms where discard is (or may) terminate the invocation in a
manner that would affect derivative operations.

We no longer need the UnwindDiscardFunctions transform for HLSL, which
already implements the correct semantics. However, we still run the
DemoteToHelper transform for the HLSL backend due to issues with FXC's
handling of discard statements (see crbug.com/tint/1118).

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, Metal, Vulkan and OpenGL. See per API support for more details.
  • A client-server implementation of WebGPU for applications that are in a sandbox without access to native drivers
  • Tint is a compiler for the WebGPU Shader Language (WGSL) that can be used in standalone to convert shaders from and to WGSL.
