[gpu] Add a feature to reclaim GPU memory in background

When a compositor frame is destroyed (for instance to cull old unlocked
frames on the browser side), the path is (browser) frame destruction ->
(GPU) Surface destruction -> (renderer) exported resources are returned
-> (renderer) SharedImages for tiles are destructed -> (GPU) SharedImage
destruction.

All these steps are asynchronous, but with the latest experiments all
enabled, do happen in background as well, as we've added the right
flushes of the various queues and command buffers.

However, with vulkan, the last step which is SharedImage destruction is
itself asynchronous. See DeleteGrBackendTexture() in skia_utils.cc. The
actual deletion is queued with
VulkanFenceHelper::EnqueueCleanupTaskForSubmittedWork(). But when no new
frames are being produced, the queue is never drained, meaning that
resources are never freed.

This CL adds a feature to ensure that the queue is emptied after all the
deferred requests are processed on a given GPU channel, but only when
the application is in background, as this is a heavyweight synchronizing
operation that could compromise performance otherwise (and it is not
believed to be necessary anyway when frames are being produced).

Locally, on a Pixel 6 Pro, when opening google.com/search?q=google,
scrolling a bit, and then going to background, this saves ~100MiB,
according to "adb shell dumpsys meminfo
org.chromium.chrome:privileged_process0".

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure .

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.
