[tint][ir][val] Improve reporting of types in error messages

Adds in more information about types into error message, so that what
the validator thinks is a problem is clearer.

This helps from a user experience perspective by making things like
you are forgetting to load a pointer, i.e. received 'ptr<i32>' instead
of a scalar, more obvious without having to dig into the disassembly.

This also helps from a Tint dev perspective, since it indicates what
the validator thinks it is looking at vs what is in the actual
IR. Again if something like an unwrap is missing in the validator code, the
reported type makes that easier to see.

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.
