Add a wgpu backend

[expenses]

This wgpu backend creates all the pipelines in about 30 seconds on linux, which imo is good enough and doesn't mean we require a pipeline cache as suggested in #62 (comment).

It works flawlessly on linux via vulkan, but I'm still trying it out on macos so better to wait to see how that goes before merging.

on wgpu 0.7.1, spirv_cross is used to compile shader to metal, and SIGABRTs when it fails to compile something:

there was a compiler error: Cannot resolve expression type.
fish: Job 1, 'cargo run --release' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

So we can either A) not the wgpu backend on macos or B) use the git version of wgpu, which uses naga instead and let's you catch the errors.

Yikes, I got the git version of wgpu to work on macOS but it hangs the GPU 😟. Perhaps because naga creates less optimised metal shaders than spirv-opt does at present? I've got a branch here: https://github.com/expenses/shadertoy-browser/pull/new/wgpu-git-backend if you want to try it and see if you have more luck.

It works pretty well on my eGPU actually, so I think that using the git version is the way to go for now. Some shaders stall (which causes the whole grid to stall when that's enabled) and some feel a bit unoptimised but in general it works well.

Cool will try it out

Oh on Windows getting a bunch of linking errors with shaderc from spirv-cross, dll vs static linking issue:

Hmm, I don't use Windows that often so I can't really help you there. One of the env variables from https://github.com/google/shaderc-rs#setup might help.

Now that wgpu 0.8 is out, we can use that instead. I didn't encounter the same shaderc problem as you, probably because I had the vulkan sdk installed. We could set the build-from-source feature for shaderc and that would also fix the problem.
