Enable Wayland support by default on Linux standalone builds

Flip the dawn_use_wayland default from false to is_linux && !is_chromeos,
matching dawn_use_x11. It stays a declare_arg() and can be overridden.

This surfaced a link break: the GLFW helper (src/dawn/glfw/utils.cpp)
references glfwGetWayland*(), but the GN build of GLFW has no Wayland
backend. Gate that path on a new DAWN_GLFW_NO_WAYLAND define set by the
GN GLFW target, so GN builds fall back to X11/XWayland while
DAWN_USE_WAYLAND still enables Dawn's native Wayland surface.

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.
