Almost good to go. One more thing - please update the example in lib.rs doc comments for the adapter changes.

Updated. I left the argument as None because it seems like the most reasonable thing to do given the rest of the lib.rs example context.

wgpu update for v29.

I have tested on macos m1, m5, and windows. Linux testing is
appreciated.

- [x] before merge, naga_oil and dlss_wgpu need to be published, and the
patches referencing their respective PRs removed from the workspace

- dlss_wgpu: bevyengine/dlss_wgpu#27

##### Source of relevant changes

- `Dx12Compiler::DynamicDxc` no longer has `max_shader_model`
    - gfx-rs/wgpu#8607
- `Dx12BackendOptions::force_shader_model` comes from:
    - gfx-rs/wgpu#8984
- Allow optional `RawDisplayHandle` in `InstanceDescriptor`
    - gfx-rs/wgpu#8012
- Add `GlDebugFns` option to disable OpenGL debug functions
    - gfx-rs/wgpu#8931
- Add a DX12 backend option to force a certain shader model
    - gfx-rs/wgpu#8984
- Migrate validation from maxInterStageShaderComponents to
maxInterStageShaderVariables
    - gfx-rs/wgpu#8652
- gaps are now supported in bind group layouts
    - gfx-rs/wgpu#9034
- depth validation changed to option to match spec
    - gfx-rs/wgpu#8840
- SHADER_PRIMITIVE_INDEX is now PRIMITIVE_INDEX
  - gfx-rs/wgpu#9101
- Support for binding arrays of RT acceleration structures
  - gfx-rs/wgpu#8923
- Make HasDisplayHandle optional in WindowHandle
  - gfx-rs/wgpu#8782
- `QueueWriteBufferView` can no longer be dereferenced to `&mut [u8]`,
so use `WriteOnly`.
  - gfx-rs/wgpu#9042
- ~bevy_mesh currently has an added dependency on `wgpu`, can we move
`WriteOnly` to wgpu-types?~ (it is in wgpu-types now)
- Change max_*_buffer_binding_size type to match WebGPU spec (u32 ->
u64)
  - gfx-rs/wgpu#9146
- raw vulkan init `open_with_callback` takes Limits as argument now
  - gfx-rs/wgpu#8756

## Known Issues

There is currently one known issue with occlusion culling on macos,
which we've decided to disable on macos by checking the limits we
actually require. This makes it so that if wgpu releases a patch fix,
bevy 0.19 users will benefit from occlusion culling re-enabling for
them.

<details><summary>More details</summary>

On macos, the wpgu limits were changed to align with the spec and now
put the early and late GPU occlusion culling `StorageBuffer` limit at 8,
but we currently use 9. [Filed in wgpu
repo](gfx-rs/wgpu#9287)
