[dawn][native] Clarify the RenderPipeline getter for sample rate shading.

Sample rate shading is when a pipeline rendering with sampleCount > 1
needs to execute the fragment shader for every sample, instead of
"normal" MSAA behavior where a single fragment shader invocation is made
and its results broadcast to all the covered samples.

Many things cause sample rate shading to be used, like
@interpolate(sample), but it is not the only one.

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.
