Wgpu yaml

[jalexcole]

I have created a yaml file in the style of webgpu.yml. The purpose of this is to aid code generation for bindings.

I did have a deviation which I called extension-objects that extend the functionality of the webgpu.yml objects. I would like in the future if the wgpu.h could be built off of this and allow for comments to be added.

This will be awesome to have! Would it make sense to use the generator tooling from webgpu-headers to produce the header based on the yaml?

@Vipitis For utilizing the same script, it could be done but it would also need to include webgpu.h. I also think it would have to then be split into two separate yaml files for enum values since wgpu is inconsistent on starting from 0 and starting from 0x30000.

@jalexcole I haven't tried it or looked at the source. But it does sound the upstream script is meant to support such a purpose: https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers/tree/main/gen#generate-implementation-specific-header webgpu.h should stay consistent with the tracked submodule commit.

We would have the benefit of knowing that our wgpu- yaml (, json) and header are in sync. Makes it easier to maintain and trust too when there is a CI job that runs it to make sure all changes are committed.
