Add egl::ShareGroup class to abstract the share context group Vulkan backend has a barrier tracker that tracks memory barrier needs of all shared resources. Because the buffer/texture objects are shared resources within a shared group, the tracker can not live in a context. Putting it in a device/renderer requires locks. It fits perfectly in a shareGroup object. The work is already done at API level to handle the mutex lock for shared context access so that no extra lock needs to be taken in the backend. This CL adds egl::ShareGroup class that represents the object that are shared among all share context group. At the front end this usually will include all the shared resource managers (not done in this CL). The ShareGroup object is accessible from gl::State object. This CL also adds ability for backend driver to allocate implementation specific ShareGroupImpl object. Vulkan backend will then use it to keeps the barrier tracker and other things that naturally fits the share group concept.

The goal of ANGLE is to allow users of multiple operating systems to seamlessly run WebGL and other OpenGL ES content by translating OpenGL ES API calls to one of the hardware-supported APIs available for that platform. ANGLE currently provides translation from OpenGL ES 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 to Vulkan, desktop OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Direct3D 9, and Direct3D 11. Future plans include ES 3.2, translation to Metal and MacOS, Chrome OS, and Fuchsia support.

ANGLE v1.0.772 was certified compliant by passing the ES 2.0.3 conformance tests in October 2011. With the Vulkan backend, ANGLE 2.1.0.d46e2fb1e341 was certified compliant to ES 2.0 in Nov 2019, and ANGLE 2.1.0.f18ff947360d to ES 3.0 in Feb 2020. ANGLE also provides an implementation of the EGL 1.4 specification.
ANGLE is used as the default WebGL backend for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on Windows platforms. Chrome uses ANGLE for all graphics rendering on Windows, including the accelerated Canvas2D implementation and the Native Client sandbox environment.
Portions of the ANGLE shader compiler are used as a shader validator and translator by WebGL implementations across multiple platforms. It is used on Mac OS X, Linux, and in mobile variants of the browsers. Having one shader validator helps to ensure that a consistent set of GLSL ES shaders are accepted across browsers and platforms. The shader translator can be used to translate shaders to other shading languages, and to optionally apply shader modifications to work around bugs or quirks in the native graphics drivers. The translator targets Desktop GLSL, Vulkan GLSL, Direct3D HLSL, and even ESSL for native GLES2 platforms.
