* Expose gpu allocation configuration options
This commit adds hints to control memory allocations strategies to the configuration options. These hints allow for automatic profiles such as optimizing for performance (the default, makes sense for a game), optimizing for memory usage (typically more useful for a web browser or UI library) and specifying settings manually.
The details of gpu allocation are still in flux. The goal is to switch vulkan and metal to gpu_allocator which is currently used with d3d12. gpu_allocator will also likely receive more configuration options, in particular the ability to start with smaller memory block sizes and progressively grow the block size. So the manual settings already provision for this upcoming option. Another approach could be to wait and add the manual option after the dust settles.
The reason for providing presets and defining values in the backends is that I am convinced that optimal fonigurations should take hardware capabilities into consideration. It's a deep rabbithole, though, so that will be an exercise for later.

* chore: validate offset + size in get_mapped_range
This commit introduces out of bounds & offset validation for
buffer_get_mapped_range, like described in the WebGPU spec. See
https://gpuweb.github.io/gpuweb/#dom-gpubuffer-getmappedrange.

The purpose of the PR is to support Naga modules everywhere.
As a requirement, it updates the gfx-rs version used.
Most of the logic is dedicated towards building a shader interface,
where previously we just used naga's IR. Now we have our own mini-IR.
* Replace &[T] in descriptor structs with Cow<[T]>
* Changed label fields to use Cow<'a, str>
* Deduplicate types across the tracing API
Introduce the ToStatic trait
* Deduplicate trace::RenderBundleDescriptor
* Remove ugly ToOwned bounds
* Simplifiy Action variants
* Make Clone bounds on type defs less verbose
* Fix a error in play.rs
* Remove ToStatic, and Make Action<'a> borrow descriptors instead
