SDL_GPU backend/support?

Would it be possible to add SDL_GPU backend support for veldrid?

This would be greatly beneficial in the fact that targeting consoles would become possible (switch,ps4/5,xbox)

you're welcome to add support if you'd like to see it here!

@smoogipoo has been talking about hoping to do work with sdl_gpu for a long time but I don't know that it would be through veldrid. From what I recall from things being said veldrid abstractions are clunky enough to prevent efficient or even correct usage of the underlying graphics apis.

My work with SDL_GPU is isolated from Veldrid. Imo, it doesn't make sense in Veldrid as it would only result in two layers of abstraction over native APIs. SDL_GPU's goal is identical to Veldrid's after all.

That said, my work is still in early stages. I'd be willing to entertain this from the perspective of having managed types but I see no benefit beyond that and only an increase in overhead.
