NXT design for memory barriers and buffer mapping.

Hey all,

We wrote some document to help everyone reason about NXT's proposals for
memory barriers and resource upload /download. Unfortunately we still don't
have a fleshed out proposal that minimizes the number of copies on UMA.
Instead the docs focus on explaining our current design for resource
upload/download and for memory barriers since they are very tied.
Eventually we'll have these docs in MarkDown in some repo, either WebGPU's
or NXT's.

   <- Please read this first as buffer mapping depends on it.
