Austin Eng 2d0007ca8f Don't connect to backends that aren't needed
Change backend connection in Instance.cpp to store a bitset of
backends that have been connected. This lets us only connect to a
single backend if AdapterDiscoveryOptions are passed explicitly,
and track which connections have/have not been made. Later, we can
connect to the rest of the backends if more are requested.

This is part of some improvements to the existing code so we can
selectively discover adapters and control discovery of the
high-performance, low-power, and fallback WebGPU adapters.

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
