1474: Add clear buffer/image to wgpu-rs api r=kvark a=Wumpf
Follow up to #1335
Started using this in Blub fluid sim a little bit on volume textures, works nicely 432fb75a68, more to come

1470: Validate pipeline state formats r=cwfitzgerald a=kvark
**Connections**
Fixes#1425
**Description**
We weren't validating any of the pipeline formats.
**Testing**
Manually tested, e.g.:
```
Caused by:
In Device::create_render_pipeline
note: label = `shadow`
depth/stencil state is invalid
format Rgba8UnormSrgb does not have a depth aspect, but depth test/write is enabled
```

1469: Handle winit exception in web to avoid breaking async executor r=grovesNL a=Frizi
This is a continuation of https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-rs/pull/923.
I'd still like to fix this on our end, even if the real underlying issue is in winit. The fix is small, and we can migrate to the proper winit solution once it exists. In the mean time, we can continue working on improving webgl support without a major blocker.

1419: Skip the cube compatibility on a downlevel flag r=cwfitzgerald a=kvark
**Connections**

**Description**
Adds a downlevel flag for cube arrays, checks for it.
**Testing**
Untested, but should work.

1417: Split the tracker into stateful/stateless to reduce the overhead r=cwfitzgerald a=kvark
**Connections**
Implements https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/1413#issuecomment-851604344
Reduces the overhead for resource tracking in the Animometer benchmark by up to 50%.
**Description**
We used to use the full tracker set on the usage scopes associated with compute/render passes. A resource tracker has 2 responsibilities: ensuring the resource is held alive, and validating and recording the state transitions. This PR exploits the fact that the latter responsibility is only applicable for buffers and textures. So doing all the lifetime tracking for a pass is a waste: we can instead just attach the lifetimes to the parent command buffer, straight.
In the Animometer benchmark, there is one large buffer, and thousands of bind groups pointing to different offsets into it. The old code would fill up the pass tracker with those bind groups, and then merge it into the command buffer tracker. The new code would just fill up the command buffer tracker instead. Since there is only one buffer, the pass tracking becomes much lighter.
**Testing**
Untested. It would be nice to have some benchmarks here, possibly after #1397 ?

1403: Trace render passes before they are ran r=cwfitzgerald a=kvark
**Connections**
Follow-up to #1245
**Description**
We want the API traces to reproduce issues. Previously, we moved all the resource creation to happen after the trace is written.
This PR follow-up by also recording the render pass commands even in the case where one of them triggers a validation error.
Another big part of the PR now is handling the command buffers that failed for some reason. The submission is skipping them now instead of erroring the whole thing.
**Testing**
Tested manually on wgpu-rs examples

918: Specify latest gfx release branch in README r=kvark a=grovesNL
Specify latest gfx release branch in README, to hopefully avoid people checking out `hal-0.2` then wondering why the patch doesn't seem to do anything.
