CMake-only fork of https://dawn.googlesource.com/dawn with cleaned, vendored dependencies

On macOS we can't rely on having the Vulkan loader installed in the system. So we add the Vulkan loader as an optional dependency of Dawn and use it on macOS when building Dawn in standalone with Vulkan support. Usage of building our own loader might broaden if the loader gains features that are useful on other OSes. For example the ability to pass in the "root ICD" entrypoint to the loader so we can have both Swiftshader and the system driver at the same time.

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
.
- The
- 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
