Detailed Description

Reference-counted ownership for WebGPU C API handles.

WebGPU's C API hands out opaque, reference-counted handles (WGPUBuffer, WGPUTexture, ...). Every handle type has a matching wgpu<Type>AddRef / wgpu<Type>Release pair, but the raw handles carry no ownership semantics of their own, so tracking those calls by hand is error prone.

vtkWebGPU::Handle wraps a raw handle and issues the AddRef/Release calls on copy, move and destruction, giving the same convenience the wgpu:: C++ wrapper provided without requiring a generated C++ wrapper header (and therefore without requiring C++20). A named handle implicitly converts back to the raw handle, so a vtkWebGPU::Buffer can be passed directly to any C API entry point. The conversion is deleted for temporaries, so a handle cannot be dropped into a raw pointer field and released out from under it.

Ownership is explicit at construction:

• Acquire(raw) adopts a handle the caller already owns a reference to (the usual case for the result of a wgpuDeviceCreate* call).
• Reference(raw) takes a new reference to a handle owned by someone else.

Ownership in this module follows one rule, with one exception forced by VTK's header layout:

• Anything that owns a WebGPU object holds it in a vtkWebGPU::Handle. That covers every implementation file and every private header.
• A public header cannot include this one - it is not installed - so classes whose members are declared in a public header keep raw WGPU* members and release them through vtkWebGPU::ReleaseAndNull, never by calling wgpu<Type>Release directly. That keeps the "assigning nullptr leaks" footgun in one helper instead of at every call site.
• Raw handles obtained from an accessor are borrowed. Do not release them, and do not store them past the lifetime of the owner.

wgpu<Type>Destroy is not a release: it frees the object's memory but leaves the reference count alone, so a Destroy still needs its matching release.

This is a private implementation header; it is not installed.
