Remove VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE magic, use explicit VkHandle wrapper

Overriding VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE changes the function
signatures of Vulkan functions, changing their ABI and making us
incompatible with real drivers. This removes that magic, and replaces it
with an explicit wrapper, VkHandle, which has much of the same
functionality as the original VkNonDispatchableHandle.

It adds definitions for dawn_native::vulkan::VkBuffer et al, which
shadow the native ::VkBuffer et al. This retains type safety throughout
the Vulkan backend without changing every single usage.

Notably, the following things had to change:
- An explicit conversion from VkBuffer* to ::VkBuffer* is needed for
  arrays. This is implemented as a reinterpret_cast, which is still
  safe as the new VkHandle still has the same memory layout properties
  as VkNonDispatchableHandle did.
- When pointing to a VkHandle as an output pointer, it's now necessary
  to explicitly get the native ::VkBuffer (via operator*) and point to
  it.

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
