Bug 202679 – Web Inspector: Canvas: don't show an empty preview for WebGPU devices

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Devin Rousso]

`HTMLCanvasElement.prototype.toDataURL` hasn't been hooked up for `GPUCanvasContext` yet, so calling `Canvas.requestContent` with a `WebGPUDevice` won't give us any good results.  As such, the Web Inspector frontend should show something slightly more actionable, or at the very least something less obviously wrong.

I know this was written with future contextTypes in mind, but I'd just replace it with:

return contextType !== Canvas.ContextType.WebGPU && contextType !== Canvas.ContextType.WebMetal;

I personally prefer this, as it's more future-proof.
