Who actually wants multiple timestampWrites with the same TimestampWrite.location? #3808

Description

@litherum

We're sort of bending over backwards to support the fact that the PassDescriptor.timestampWrites can be arbitrarily long. But, in the common case, developers will probably just need at most 1 of each TimestampWrite.location. In fact, I don't know why anyone would ever actually want multiple items in the timestampWrites array that target the same TimestampWrite.location.

Can we simplify this, and just have, like...

dictionary GPUQuerySetAndIndex {
    GPUQuerySet querySet;
    GPUSize32 indexWithinQuerySet;
}
dictionary GPUComputePassTimestampWrites {
    GPUQuerySetAndIndex beginningOfPassWrite;
    GPUQuerySetAndIndex endOfPassWrite;
}

Or, even better...

dictionary GPUComputePassTimestampWrites {
    GPUQuerySet querySet;
    GPUSize32 beginningOfPassWrite;
    GPUSize32 endOfPassWrite;
}

If the site wants to copy the data out of there to a new place, they can go right ahead.
