Dynamically load libX11 at runtime

Prior to this change, Dawn would link directly against libX11.so which
meant libX11.so must be installed on the system. However, not all Linux
systems have X11 installed, some distros are Wayland-only, and runtime
resolution is generally nicer.

This follows the existing XlibXcbFunctions implementation which was
already largely doing this, and just ensures we do it for other X11 API
usage as well, renaming it to X11Functions in passing.

Based on an initial version of the commit from Stephen Gutekanst

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, 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.
