This is another step to implement webgpu.h swapchains, Surface is essentially a union type of all the types of windows that can be used to create swapchains. Changes to allow implementing wgpu::Surface and test its creation are: - Add GLFWUtils.cpp/.h/_metal.mm that contains helpers used to use WebGPU with GLFW. This deprecates BackendBinding.h that will be removed when the NXT swapchain is removed. - Add a `dawn_use_x11` GN variable to factor all the places in BUILD.gn where we checked whether we should use X11. - Add a `supports_glfw_for_windowing` GN variable in the main BUILD.gn file to control which configuration tests and samples using GLFW can be built. - Add a ObjCUtils.h to contain some ObjC functionality that we'd need in files that otherwise would be C++ (so that they can be compiled on all platforms).

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 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
