[hal/dx12] Mesh Shaders

Connections
Addresses #7219, a sub-issue of #7197

Description
This adds a DX12 backend for mesh shaders

Current issues:

• Limits aren't calculated properly
• In the pipeline stream descriptor, we could figure out the maximum length and possibly avoid allocations and vec's if that's desirable

Testing
I have updated the mesh shader example to use DXILpassthrough to test this, and it works.

Squash or Rebase?

Checklist

• Run cargo fmt.
• Run taplo format.
• Run cargo clippy --tests. If applicable, add:
  • --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
• Run cargo xtask test to run tests.
• If this contains user-facing changes, add a CHANGELOG.md entry.

@cwfitzgerald Going to ping you again, not super urgent but it is something I'd like to get reviewed soon-ish.

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds DirectX12 backend support for mesh shaders, expanding WGPU's mesh shader capabilities beyond Vulkan. The implementation includes direct draw commands, indirect draw variants, and proper pipeline state handling for both task and mesh shaders.

• Implements mesh shader pipeline creation using D3D12's pipeline stream API
• Adds mesh shader draw command implementations (direct and indirect variants)
• Updates examples and tests to support both Vulkan and DX12 backends

Got some nits, but we're good here once those are resolved.

@cwfitzgerald I've addressed all comments I think. Good to merge?

CI mad

@cwfitzgerald Should be good now lmao

FYI: This PR appears to cause a STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION error when trying to initialize a DX12 backend using an Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics device (driver version 32.0.101.6913).

I bisected commits on trunk, and the commit before this runs fine but this one crashes.

Here's the relevant part of the stack trace, from windbg:

Let me know if you'd like me to open an explicit issue for this; figured I'd start by leaving a comment on the offending PR.

@vorporeal Thanks for reporting this and doing the work to bisect it. Definitely file an issue. I won't personally be able to get to this for at least a few days since I'll be away from my windows machine. It seems like it will be a big issue for many people so definitely get it on the radar of more maintainers.

Yup, definitely file an issue, if you have reproduction code too, that should be good.

[vorporeal]

Filed #8296; will see if I can reproduce with any of the examples and update that issue accordingly.
