Disallow storage buffer binding in vertex shader

Writable storage buffer in vertex shader is an optional feature.
It is not supported in many devices/OSes. WebGPU doesn't support
writable storage buffer in vertex shader. This change generates an
error for storage buffer binding for vertex shader stage, in order
to disallow writable storage buffer in vertex shader.

This change also adds a validation test and revises existing
end2end tests and validation tests accordingly.

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
