support nullable args in requestAdapter & requestDevice

[rajveermalviya]

As per the headers:

• options arg is nullable for wgpuInstanceRequestAdapter
• descriptor arg is nullable for wgpuAdapterRequestDevice

Ah, that makes things easier already.

The trick I ended up using in wgpu-py is to create the adapter, request its limit, and use these as the default limits for the device. (Will also post this on the corresponding issue, for future reference.) -> #218

@almarklein can this be included in a new release?

(also what's the process of release in general, would creating a new tag be enough?)

[almarklein]

Sure!

Yes, you simply pass a tag called vA.B.C.D and CD does the rest. The idea is to follow the version of wgpu-core and then add a sequence number. So 0.14.2.4 is up next, I think.

edit: side-note: the version number is backed into the binary: the four numbers are packed into one uint.

Cool!, created v0.14.2.4
