wgpu backend: --screenshot capability for visual verification

Pulls the capture half of task #10 forward so we stop flying blind from
stage 3 onward. WgpuViewportWindow gains captureNextFrameToPng(path);
the minimal driver wires it to a --screenshot PATH flag that renders
one frame, copies the surface texture back to host memory, writes a
PNG via QImage, and quits.

CopySrc is added to the surface configuration usage so the surface
texture can be the copy source. The texel-to-buffer copy honours
WebGPU's 256-byte bytes-per-row alignment by padding rows and stripping
the padding when assembling the QImage. Surface format 28 (BGRA8Unorm)
is byte-swapped to RGBA on the way into QImage::Format_RGBA8888;
RGBA8 surface formats are memcpy'd straight through.

Verified end-to-end on /tmp/basic.ifcview: 3 cube meshes/instances
render with depth, back-face cull, and the hemisphere-ambient + key+fill
lighting model — top face reads sky (bright), front faces read mid-tone,
exactly as the WGSL shading intended. The pixel-diff half of task #10
(comparing against a GL baseline) lands later when the GL minimal binary
gets an equivalent flag.
