What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?

Currently users need to compile and serve separate wasm binaries if they want to target both webgl2 and webgpu. Currently if you're making something targeting web, webgl2 is essential due to its much wider compatibility, while in my experience webgpu tends to run better (at least on very recent versions of chrome).

What solution would you like?

Being able to ship a single wasm binary targeting both webgpu and webgl2 simplifies both building and serving wasm binaries for web games/apps. Upgrading wgpu to 0.19 now allows us to compile a single binary that can choose at runtime to use webgl2 or webgpu.

What alternative(s) have you considered?

Continue requiring separate wasm binaries for webgpu and webgl2. I'm not sure how much larger a wasm binary targeting both webgl2 and webgpu might be compared to one that only targets webgl2 (or webgpu), but wasm binary sizes are also something to consider.

Additional context

Due to webgl2's limitations (no compute shaders, no storage buffers, etc) we'll still want to be able to ship wasm binaries that only target webgpu and not webgl2.

There are currently a lot of places where we change constants or add padding to structs based on whether or not we're targeting webgl2 on wasm, which all need to be rewritten to support this.

# Objective

Keep core dependencies up to date.

## Solution

Update the dependencies.

wgpu 0.19 only supports raw-window-handle (rwh) 0.6, so bumping that was
included in this.

The rwh 0.6 version bump is just the simplest way of doing it. There
might be a way we can take advantage of wgpu's new safe surface creation
api, but I'm not familiar enough with bevy's window management to
untangle it and my attempt ended up being a mess of lifetimes and rustc
complaining about missing trait impls (that were implemented). Thanks to
@MiniaczQ for the (much simpler) rwh 0.6 version bump code.

Unblocks #9172 and
#10812

~~This might be blocked on cpal and oboe updating their ndk versions to
0.8, as they both currently target ndk 0.7 which uses rwh 0.5.2~~ Tested
on android, and everything seems to work correctly (audio properly stops
when minimized, and plays when re-focusing the app).

## Changelog

- `wgpu` has been updated to 0.19! The long awaited arcanization has
been merged (for more info, see
https://gfx-rs.github.io/2023/11/24/arcanization.html), and Vulkan
should now be working again on Intel GPUs.
- Targeting WebGPU now requires that you add the new `webgpu` feature
(setting the `RUSTFLAGS` environment variable to
`--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis` is still required). This feature currently
overrides the `webgl2` feature if you have both enabled (the `webgl2`
feature is enabled by default), so it is not recommended to add it as a
default feature to libraries without putting it behind a flag that
allows library users to opt out of it! In the future we plan on
supporting wasm binaries that can target both webgl2 and webgpu now that
wgpu added support for doing so (see
#11505).
- `raw-window-handle` has been updated to version 0.6.

## Migration Guide

- `bevy_render::instance_index::get_instance_index()` has been removed
as the webgl2 workaround is no longer required as it was fixed upstream
in wgpu. The `BASE_INSTANCE_WORKAROUND` shaderdef has also been removed.
- WebGPU now requires the new `webgpu` feature to be enabled. The
`webgpu` feature currently overrides the `webgl2` feature so you no
longer need to disable all default features and re-add them all when
targeting `webgpu`, but binaries built with both the `webgpu` and
`webgl2` features will only target the webgpu backend, and will only
work on browsers that support WebGPU.
- Places where you conditionally compiled things for webgl2 need to be
updated because of this change, eg:
- `#[cfg(any(not(feature = "webgl"), not(target_arch = "wasm32")))]`
becomes `#[cfg(any(not(feature = "webgl") ,not(target_arch = "wasm32"),
feature = "webgpu"))]`
- `#[cfg(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32"))]` becomes
`#[cfg(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32", not(feature =
"webgpu")))]`
- `if cfg!(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32"))` becomes `if
cfg!(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32", not(feature =
"webgpu")))`
- `create_texture_with_data` now also takes a `TextureDataOrder`. You
can probably just set this to `TextureDataOrder::default()`
- `TextureFormat`'s `block_size` has been renamed to `block_copy_size`
- See the `wgpu` changelog for anything I might've missed:
https:/gfx-rs/wgpu/blob/trunk/CHANGELOG.md
