Vulkan: Export VkSemaphores as SYNC_FDs instead of OPAQUE_FDs

For Dawn/Chrome interop, Chrome OS differs from Linux as it uses the
NativePixmap-based SharedImageBacking which stores image memory as
dma-bufs as opposed to opaque FDs. Likewise, for synchronization,
Chrome OS wants to use sync obj FDs as opposed to opaque FDs for
more flexibility.

The motivating difference between sync obj FDs and their opaque
counterparts is how they are created. As their name suggests, Opaque
FDs are mostly meaningless outside of the Vulkan ecosystem and must
be created from a VkDevice. As a result, Linux’s
ExternalVkImageBacking needs the Vulkan implementation to create the
FD even when accessing the SharedImage as a GL texture [1]. On Chrome
OS, however, we don’t guarantee Vulkan outside of Dawn, so we aren’t
able to create the opaque FD directly in Chrome.

Instead, we are always able to create sync objs (e.g. via a
fence [2]) which can be imported as VkSemaphores by simply changing
VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR::handleType. Similarly, we can export
signal VkSemaphores as sync objs as well by updating
VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR::handleType.

This CL adds conditional support for using SYNC_FDs on Chrome OS
when importing/exporting VkSemaphores and renames
SemaphoreServiceOpaqueFD accordingly. With this, we can properly
wait on reads/writes on a GL SharedImage representation before
accessing the same memory in Dawn [3].

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
