This is the first "real" release of gpgpu-rs, not an MVP yet but still usable.

Features

Offloading of computations into the GPU 📈
- Using gpgpu-rs primitives + compute shaders
- Supports storage buffers, texture and storage textures on the shaders
- Supports SPIR-V compute shader loading (works best with WGSL shaders from both source and SPIR-V)
- Fairly primitive wgpu integration. Allows usage of gpgpu-rs primitives with wgpu pipelines (mainly graphic pipelines)
- 2 simple examples, one for buffer compute and another one for image manipulation
GpuBuffer primitive
- Buffer of n T elements on the GPU. T must be bytemuck::Pod
- Supports sync and async read and write operations
GpuImage primivite
- Handles a texture on the GPU. Only RGBA8 images yet 😢
- Supports sync and async read and write operations

TODO

Improve documentation and examples (new and more complex examples)
Support of different texture formats on GpuImage
Reuse of staging buffers (optional, typed as in the Vec allocator)
New primitives for fine grained GPU usage (CpuAccessibleBuffer, ReadOnlyGpuImage, etc; better naming 😆)
More to come...

All in all, I'm pretty happy with this release. I'm looking for comments on the API, if it is simple, easy to use, etc.
