For a while, we've had the buildbots equipped with hand-built installations of Dawn. This has made our webgpu testing limited and brittle. This PR manages the Dawn dependency via vcpkg, encoding our knowledge of how to build Dawn just right into an executable format.
Update the WebGPU documentation to show how to build Dawn correctly. The old instructions didn't work and I have opened and upstream issue here: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/437859885
We also drop
HL_WEBGPU_NODE_BINDINGS
in favor of settingNODE_PATH
, which is a standard variable, manually.Forthcoming buildbot changes will move more dependency management to vcpkg and CMake presets (only for CMake-specific dependencies and builders, of course).
Fixes #8743
