db2e1426e9 Introduce two WebGL samples: triangle and suzanne. (#170)
* Introduce two WebGL samples: triangle and suzanne.

This commit has no effect on mobile / desktop builds, it only adds new
targets to the `-p webgl` build.

We will eventually expose a proper JavaScript API, but for now these
samples use a (somewhat under-engineered) `filaweb` framework whereby
the WebAssembly module exposes a small number of C entry points: launch,
render, and resize.

Each sample has two source files: a cpp file and an html file. The cpp
file generates js / wasm pair.  The generated js is simply a loader for
the wasm.

The CMake script creates a pristine "public" folder which contains the
minimal set of files needed to serve the web application using a simple
static file server. The public folder like this:

    /suzanne.js         built by em++ from suzanne.cpp
    /suzanne.wasm       built by em++ from suzanne.cpp
    /suzanne.html       copied from REPO/samples/web
    /filaweb.js         copied from REPO/samples/web
    /favicon.png        copied from REPO/samples/web
    /monkey/*.png       copied from REPO/assets/models
    /monkey/*.filamesh  built by filamesh
    /desert/*           built by cmgen

To decode PNG textures, we use the somewhat unusual approach of using
JavaScript to draw them into a hidden 2D canvas, then reading back the
pixels. This allows us to avoid fattening up the wasm file with a PNG
decoder. An alternative idea would be to pass a DOM Image directly into
glTexImage2D, but this would require some #ifdefing and/or JS injection
in Filament's OpenGL backend.

* Optimize the suzanne material.
