Implement the webgpu.h swapchains in the frontend and Null backend.

The state-tracking of the webgpu.h swapchain is a bit complicated
because contrary to implementation-based swapchains, they have more
guarantees and a "replacing mechanism". For example instead of hoping
the implementation-based swapchain resize automatically, the
surface-based swapchain needs to be replaced by a new swapchain and
invalidated.

This mechanism of invalidation also needs to be triggered when the last
reference to the surface is lost because we don't want to risk the
application destroying the window from under us.

Adds tests for all the cases of invalidation I could think of apart from
device loss.

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
