Reland "Slab-allocate VkDescriptorSets"

This is a reland of 96c4019214e0b2d7c0843eacf96398a6a1198d1f

It includes a fix to add a dummy descriptor count if the
VkDescriptorPool would be empty, and adds a test that a bind group
with an empty bind group layout may be created and used.

Original change's description:
> Slab-allocate VkDescriptorSets
>
> This introduces a slab allocator for VkDescriptorSets which creates
> a VkDescriptorPool pre-allocated with multiple VkDescriptorSets per
> BindGroupLayout. In the future, we can deduplicate pools that have
> the same, or roughly the same, descriptor counts.
>
> This CL also removes the old DescriptorSetService and moves most of
> the functionality onto the DescriptorSetAllocator itself to keep
> the tracking logic in one place.

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
