Ahmed Harmouche 133cacadde Autogen webgpu dawn, removing wgpu-py dependency (f16 support part 1) (#8646)
* Switch to dawn, all tests passing locally

* Use dawn-python

* Skip failing test

* Skip midcast and fix timestamp on metal ci

* Autogen webgpu

* Try fetch dawn lib again

* /usr/lib

* Without lib prefix

* Test autogen diff

* Delete webgpu support, move everything to ops_webgpu

* mypy fix

* Simplify, refactor

* Line savings

* No ResultContainer

* Type annotation for result

* Some more simplifications

* Why was this explicit sync used at all?

* Refactor: delete functions that are only used once

* Create shader module inline

* Clear unit tests cache, maybe that solves it

* That wasn't it

* Try deleting cache to pass failing weight compare

* weights_only=False for pytorch 2.6

* Simplify ctype array creation

* Remove nanosecond precision timestamps

* Simplify error handling

* Refactor, add back type annotations

* Deleted custom submit function, refactor

* read_buffer simplify

* Fix use after free, refactor

* Simplify supported_features

* Runtime docs

# Runtimes
tinygrad supports various runtimes, enabling your code to scale across a wide range of devices. The default runtime can be automatically selected based on the available hardware, or you can force a specific runtime to be default using environment variables (e.g., `CLANG=1`).
| Runtime | Description | Requirements |
|---------|-------------|--------------|
| [NV](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/tree/master/tinygrad/runtime/ops_nv.py) | Provides acceleration for NVIDIA GPUs | Ampere/Ada series GPUs |
| [AMD](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/tree/master/tinygrad/runtime/ops_amd.py) | Provides acceleration for AMD GPUs | RDNA2/RDNA3 series GPUs |
| [QCOM](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/tree/master/tinygrad/runtime/ops_qcom.py) | Provides acceleration for QCOM GPUs | 6xx series GPUs |
| [METAL](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/tree/master/tinygrad/runtime/ops_metal.py) | Utilizes Metal for acceleration on Apple devices | M1+ Macs; Metal 3.0+ for `bfloat` support |
| [CUDA](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/tree/master/tinygrad/runtime/ops_cuda.py) | Utilizes CUDA for acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs | NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support |
| [GPU (OpenCL)](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/tree/master/tinygrad/runtime/ops_gpu.py) | Accelerates computations using OpenCL on GPUs | OpenCL 2.0 compatible device |
| [CLANG (C Code)](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/tree/master/tinygrad/runtime/ops_clang.py) | Runs on CPU using the clang compiler | `clang` compiler in system `PATH` |
| [LLVM (LLVM IR)](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/tree/master/tinygrad/runtime/ops_llvm.py) | Runs on CPU using the LLVM compiler infrastructure | llvm libraries installed and findable |
| [WEBGPU](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/tree/master/tinygrad/runtime/ops_webgpu.py) | Runs on GPU using the Dawn WebGPU engine (used in Google Chrome) | Dawn library installed and findable. Download binaries [here](https://github.com/wpmed92/pydawn/releases/tag/v0.1.6). |
