we actually have swap_chain_get_preferred_format in wgpu-core. We should expose this in wgpu-rs

This functionality was commited in gfx-rs/wgpu@6f1d614 but never exposed to wgpu-rs.

Problem: Currently, examples make use of wgpu::TextureFormat::Bgra8UnormSrgb but that's unreliable and according to the API this method is the way of properly obtaining an optimal texture format for the swapchain based on the platform.

There has been recent discussions upstream about this - gpuweb/gpuweb#1185 and gpuweb/gpuweb#1231
Good news is that this function is still there, and it's not asynchronous! So exposing it in wgpu-rs should be trivial (and much needed).
