Simple profiler scopes for wgpu using timer queries

## Features

* Easy to use profiler scopes
* Allows nesting!
* Can be disabled by runtime flag
* Additionally generates debug markers
* Thread-safe - can profile several command encoder/buffers in parallel
* Internally creates pools of timer queries automatically
* Does not need to know in advance how many queries/profiling scopes are needed
* Caches up profiler-frames until results are available
* No stalling of the device at any time!
* Many profiler instances can live side by side
* chrome trace flamegraph json export
* Tracy integration (behind `tracy` feature flag)

## How to use

Create a new profiler object:
```rust
use wgpu_profiler::{wgpu_profiler, GpuProfiler, GpuProfilerSettings};
// ...
let mut profiler = GpuProfiler::new(GpuProfilerSettings::default());
```

Now you can start creating profiler scopes:
```rust
// You can now open profiling scopes on any encoder or pass:
let mut scope = profiler.scope("name of your scope", &mut encoder, &device);

// Scopes can be nested arbitrarily!
let mut nested_scope = scope.scope("nested!", &device);

// Scopes on encoders can be used to easily create profiled passes!
let mut compute_pass = nested_scope.scoped_compute_pass("profiled compute", &device);

// Scopes expose the underlying encoder or pass they wrap:
compute_pass.set_pipeline(&pipeline);
// ...

// Scopes created this way are automatically closed when dropped.
```

`GpuProfiler` reads the device features on first use:

* `wgpu::Features::TIMESTAMP_QUERY` is required to emit any timer queries.
* Alone, this allows you to use timestamp writes on pass definition as done by `Scope::scoped_compute_pass`/`Scope::scoped_render_pass`
* `wgpu::Features::TIMESTAMP_QUERY_INSIDE_ENCODERS` is required to issue queries at any point within encoders.
* `wgpu::Features::TIMESTAMP_QUERY_INSIDE_PASSES` is required to issue queries at any point within passes.

Wgpu-profiler needs to insert buffer copy commands, so when you're done with an encoder and won't do any more profiling scopes on it, you need to resolve the queries:
```rust
profiler.resolve_queries(&mut encoder);
```

And finally, to end a profiling frame, call `end_frame`. This does a few checks and will let you know if something is off!
```rust
profiler.end_frame().unwrap();
```

Retrieving the oldest available frame and writing it out to a chrome trace file.
```rust
if let Some(profiling_data) = profiler.process_finished_frame(queue.get_timestamp_period()) {
wgpu_profiler::chrometrace::write_chrometrace(std::path::Path::new("mytrace.json"), &profiling_data);
}
```
