Introduce Device::GetDefaultQueue and deprecate CreateQueue

This makes all backends register the default queue at device
initialization time, so that the same queue is returned by
each call to GetDefaultQueue.

All usages of CreateQueue are replaced by GetDefaultQueue
except a couple ones that could use the queue initialized by
DawnTest::SetUp.

A deprecation warning mechanism is added so that users of Dawn
can now that they should upgrade their usage of the API. It also
comes with a backdoor so we can test that they are emitted.

New DeprecatedAPITests are added that will contain tests for
deprecated APIs, and will also check that deprecation warnings
are produced.

The special casing of GetDefaultQueue in the wire will be done
in a follow-up CL to ease the review. It happens to work through
the regular wire mechanisms at the moment but returns a different
object on each GetDefaultQueue call.

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
