* #1590: build effect kernels on first use instead of with the GPU context

GpuContext::new built every compute pipeline up front: the compositor's own
kernels and ~208 effect kernels. In Chrome on Windows that kept the GPU
process busy past its watchdog, so the device was lost ~60 s after every load
(#1590); on DirectX 12 with FXC the window took over a minute to appear (#613).

The compositor's kernels are still built up front and required. Effect kernels
are built the first time a dispatch asks for one, inside the same error scopes,
so one a compiler rejects still renders its effects on the CPU. unavailable_kernels
lists the failures so far; build_all_kernels builds the rest.

RX 6900 XT, Windows: Vulkan context 0.27 s, all effect kernels 0.9 s, GPU tests
77 s -> 26 s; on #1571's DX12/FXC, context ~66 s -> 1.96 s, tests 1306 s -> 252 s,
same results.

* #1590: compile each kernel family as a shader module of its own

Building effect kernels on first use was not enough in Chrome: the page and
its frame workers each create a device, every one compiled its required
kernels against the single ~460K-character module, and Dawn compiles the
module again for each pipeline, so the GPU process still passed its watchdog
and the device was lost ~64 s after load (RX 6900 XT, Chrome 155).

Each kernel family (FAMILIES) is now common.wgsl + kernels.wgsl + its own file
and the files it borrows functions from (at most ~120K characters), built with
the family's first kernel; the compositor's kernels, sky and classic3d use
small modules of their own.

Chrome 155 on Windows / RX 6900 XT, release web build, default flags: main
loses the device at ~64 s (60.7 s with ?nogpuworkers); with this, two 100 s
runs keep it, and both frame workers get the GPU. Native Vulkan tests
unchanged (212 passed, the 3 failures that main has, #1605).
