When no backend could create a window and a WebGPU device, aurora hit an ASSERT and the process aborted with only SDL's last error in the log. Keep the first adapter, device or window error, return it from aurora_initialize with a new initializationStatus, and have the runtime throw it so the existing fatal popup and fatal log record the reason. ImGui shutdown now skips backends that never initialized, so the shutdown that follows a failed start does not crash. From upstream patchzyy/Wiicompiled 6f14bde (#244, KartPad batch).

Graphics
The GX compatibility layer is built on top of WebGPU, a cross-platform graphics API abstraction layer. WebGPU allows targeting all major platforms simultaneously with minimal overhead. The WebGPU implementation used is Chromium's Dawn.
