## Unreleased

#### 'wgpu::Instance::enumerate_adapters` is now `async` & available on WebGPU
### Major changes

Making `enumerate_adapters` async allows custom backends to use it along with elimnating some native/non-native distinctions
#### 'wgpu::Instance::enumerate_adapters` is now `async` & available on WebGPU

This is a breaking change
BREAKING CHANGE: `enumerate_adapters` is now `async`:

```diff
- pub fn enumerate_adapters(&self, backends: Backends) -> Vec<Adapter> {
+ pub fn enumerate_adapters(&self, backends: Backends) -> impl Future<Output = Vec<Adapter>> {

```

This yields ([kek]) two benefits:

- This method is now implemented on non-native using the standard `Adapter::request_adapter(…)`, making `enumerate_adapters` a portable surface. This was previous a nontrivial pain point when an application wanted to do some of its own filtering of adapters.
- This method can now be implemented in custom backends.
