A WebGPU Raytracer based on chromium's Dawn WebGPU implementation. Supports creation of
scenes program side (see src/main.cpp), along with multiple primitives
(sphere, plane) and materials (lambertian, metal, dielectric) using dynamically
generated wgsl shaders.
Dependencies are managed using CPM, so building can be done with a simple
clone and cmake setup. All dependencies are pulled and built from source at
present (though in the future GLFW may be fixed in that respect), so initial
build can take quite a while. Further builds can be sped up using a caching
compiler (e.g. ccache) and dependency caching (see CPM repo).
