[dawn] Add nullable support to return types

Change return types to be more like RecordMember (type, annotation,
optional) rather than a raw Type. This requires a bunch of refactoring,
but now allows attaching that info to return types.

- Introduce a base class of RecordMember called AnnotatedTypedMember
  that only has type, annotation, optional, and json_data.
- Change the representation of function/method return types from a Type
  `.return_type` to an AnnotatedTypedMember `.returns`.
- Change the representation of void return to `None` instead of
  `types['void']`.
- Change the return type of CreateBuffer from "buffer" to
  {"type": "buffer", "optional": true}.

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.
