Adds a basic adapter blocklist and adds two cases to it. By default, the blocklist is disabled until Chromium can enable it explicitly - perhaps based on --enable-unsafe-webgpu or some other flag. It will be switched to default to true in the future. about://gpu would disable the blocklist so all the adapters are visible there, but WebGPU would enable it. Trusted users of Dawn that are aware of potential bugs may also disable it. One downside is that about://gpu won't surface directly that an adapter is on the system, but blocklisted for WebGPU. Something like that can be added in the future, if necessary. In the future, this should probably be merged with Chromium's software_rendering_list.json, but that list doesn't support multi-adapter systems well (for blocklisting just one adapter), and it doesn't understand all the information we need for the current blocklist.

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.hversion that Dawn implements. - A C++ wrapper for the
webgpu.h.
- The
- 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.
