Expand the Option argument paradigm to:
* Remove the requirement to always pass a 'type' parameter. Type inferencing is the easier, and increasingly common way to declare a variable, so this prevents a whole lot of `nullptr` smell which negatively impacts readability.
* Accept attributes directly as arguments, removing the `utils::Vector{ ... }` smell.
Rename `ProgramBuilder::VarOptionals` to `VarOptions`, and add equivalent `LetOptions`, `ConstOptions` and `OverrideOptions`.
Clean up all the calls to `Var()`, `Let()`, `Const()` and `Override()`:
* Use the `Group()` and `Binding()` helpers where possible
* Removing `nullptr` type arguments
* Replace attribute vectors with the list of attributes.
* Remove already-defaulted `ast::StorageClass::kNone` arguments.
* Remove already-defaulted `ast::Access::kUndefined` arguments.
Finally, remove the `GroupAndBinding()` helper, which only existed because you needed to pass attributes as a vector.

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.
