795: Move `RenderPass*AttachmentDescriptor` types into core r=kvark a=GabrielMajeri
**Connections**
Follow up to #791.
**Description**
I had the impression that these two types were already shared between `wgpu-core` and `wgpu-rs`, considering they were generic. Further investigation reveals that not to be the case.
This PR moves these types into `wgpu-core`, since they're specific to this crate.
**Testing**
Checked with core, player and `wgpu-rs`.

763: Remove raw pointers from the render pipelines API r=kvark a=GabrielMajeri
**Connections**
Rust-ification of API, as part of #689
**Description**
The objective is to get rid of raw pointers in the render pipeline descriptor and associated structures.
**Testing**
Checked with `player` and the `trace` feature, and with `wgpu-rs` with the changes in https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-rs/pull/425

741: Fix the default lod_max_clamp value for the SamplerDescriptor r=kvark a=hasenbanck
**Connections**
As suggested in https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-rs/pull/397
**Description**
The current default value for the ```lod_max_clamp``` of a sampler is 0.
This would deactivate mipmapping alltogether. Setting the default to ```f32::MAX``` makes sure to always enable it. It's the default value apple uses in Metal, it seems to be valid usage in Vulkan (```maxLod``` in ```VkSamplerCreateInfo```) and in DX12 (```MaxLOD``` in ```D3D12_SAMPLER_DESC```).

There was a lot of highly unsafe use of serialization based on peek-poke that we
weren't entirely happy with. It's replaced by just serializing the passes now.
Also, switch BufferSize to Option<NonZero>.
732: Dummy workspace crate r=cwfitzgerald a=kvark
Basically, it makes sure that doing `cargo check` locally in the workspace is all you need.

715: Implement SAMPLED_TEXTURE_ARRAY_NON_UNIFORM_INDEXING r=kvark a=cwfitzgerald
## Connections
Closes#483. Extends support for #106.
## Description
This forwards the descriptor indexing features gfx-hal up to wgpu.
Note this PR also changes the name of the `TEXTURE_BINDING_ARRAY` to `SAMPLED_TEXTURE_BINDING_ARRAY` to be more consistent with extensions.
## Testing
Texture-array example was simply extended to use descriptor indexing. This works on all platforms that the feature is supported. (thanks @stararawn)
