262dfbafb4 [experimental] Add WebGPU demo (built with Bazel)
This uses the Bazel rule wasm_cc_binary, which is defined
in @emsdk [1]

Note that wasm_cc_binary does not have a linkopts argument
defined, so we instead put any emcc options in the cc_binary
target.

This works around a few bugs in the emsdk Bazel rules:
 - https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk/issues/907
 - https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk/issues/807

Prior to PS 5, this CL tried a different way to bring in
the toolchain, a more manual way outlined in [2].

A similar approach (modifying the .bazelrc and specifying
the toolchain directly) might be necessary at some point,
but can probably still be done using the @emsdk Bazel rules
and --config=wasm.

To update the version of emscripten used, we just need to
update the parameter in the WORKSPACE call to emsdk_emscripten_deps().

The example/index.html file in this CL does exactly the same
as [3], except the WebGPU calls are made from C++ via WASM.
I made heavy use of these examples [4], [5] while exploring
APIs. What was also useful was looking at the emscripten
source headers [6], [7], [8], [9].

I also learned a lot about WebGPU from [10].
