feat: upgrade wgpu to 22.0

[clearlysid]

wgpu versions now use the x.0 rather than the 0.x scheme ie.. 22.0 is the new 0.22.

Unfortunately, Cargo treats these as very different dependencies and versions. This causes the pixels crate to become incompatible with projects that are using a newer version of wgpu for something else.

In this PR, I've upgraded the wgpu version to latest and fixed the relevant API calls with newer args that the compiler mandated (just defaults for now).

Feel free to merge this if you feel this is relevant. Thanks for the great project! 🙌

Yeah, wgpu still needs to be updated. This is a pretty good start, thank you!

I'm holding off any other updates to wgpu until the next release (pixels 0.15) with support for wgpu 0.19. Which still needs some work as discussed in #400.

But I'm glad this has already been started!

[clearlysid]

Makes total sense!

One complication with this is the egui example. Support for wgpu v22 was added in egui 0.29, which also bumps winit to 0.30. So, that example would need to be reworked to use the newer winit version. Also, seems like winit_input_helper doesn't yet support winit 0.30. There are some open PRs but nothing has been merged yet.

If we are going to be nimble enough to continue updating wgpu in lockstep, we need to move the examples to their own repo. This was discussed a bit in #391 (comment) and I'm increasingly convinced this is the right course of action.

I'm curious what the path forward here is, and how I may help. wgpu is now up to 24.0 (they're breaking things fast 😓 )

@djsell What's driving the need to upgrade wgpu on your end? Are you trying to gain access to new underlying features or bug fixes? Does your use case integrate with other crates that you've had to upgrade for other reasons? I'm trying to get a read on the motivation and urgency.

[djsell]

In my case it's integration with other crates that have upgraded.

Iced is one of them. I was interested in experimenting with Vello (allowing two styles of rendering) as well and similar issue there.

[djsell]

There may have been a bug fix in there as well that I needed to upgrade for, but I have forgotten at this point. I've been using sid's branch for a while.
