[cmake] Set DAWN_ENABLE_PIC explicitly to ON by default

The CMake configure output reports:

  -- Dawn build PIC: OFF

by default, even though all targets are compiled with -fPIC.

Specifying -DDAWN_ENABLE_PIC=ON or -DDAWN_ENABLE_PIC=OFF has currently no effect on the build.

This PR removes the unconditional set(CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE ON) and
switches DAWN_ENABLE_PIC to ON by default.
So this does not change the default behavior but allows the user to toggle DAWN_ENABLE_PIC.

Dawn, a WebGPU implementation

Dawn is an open-source and cross-platform implementation of the 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.
