Move test and benchmark targets to standard Cargo autodiscovery layout. (#7436)
This will make it easier for contributors to understand the file layout,
at the cost of said layout containing several more nested directories.
I will personally appreciate not having to remember to look for
`root.rs` instead of `main.rs`.

I also renamed the test targets so that they do not *all* share the
superfluous suffix “-test” (test targets live in a different namespace
than other target types and packages, so the name can presume that it
is always known that they are tests).

The Naga snapshot data sets `naga/tests/{in,out}` have been left in
their original positions.

wgpu player

This is an application that allows replaying the wgpu workloads recorded elsewhere. It requires the player to be built from the same revision as an application was linking to, or otherwise, the data may fail to load.

Launch as:

play <trace-dir>

When built with "winit" feature, it's able to replay the workloads that operate on a swapchain. It renders each frame sequentially and then waits for the user to close the window. When built without "winit", it launches in console mode and can replay any trace that doesn't use swapchains.

Note: replaying is currently restricted to the same backend as one used for recording a trace. It is straightforward, however, to just replace the backend in RON since it's serialized as plain text. Valid values are: Vulkan, Metal, and Dx12.
