Add the webgpu.h swapchain creation path

This commit changes wgpu::Device::CreateSwapChain to take an additional
wgpu::Surface argument. Passing nullptr is enough to stay on the
previous swapchain implementation, until the new one is ready.

In order to support both the "old" implementation-based swapchains and
the "new" surface-based swapchains. SwapChainBase is now split into
three abstract classes:

 - SwapChainBase that has a virtual method for each of the
wgpu::SwapChain methods.
 - OldSwapChainBase that corresponds to the implementation-based
swapchains.
 - NewSwapChainBase that will contain the surface-based swapchain
implementation and will eventually just be renamed to SwapChainBase.

The interaction of the surface-based swapchains with the Surface objects
aren't implemented yet, neither are the swapchain methods. Only creation
works.

Validation tests for surface-based swapchain creation are added in the
end2end test target because they need to create OS windows.

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
