Three.js r171 adds zero-config WebGPU imports

Three.js r171 makes it easier than ever to use WebGPU with zero-config imports.

What changed

You can now import WebGPURenderer without special bundler configuration:

import { WebGPURenderer } from 'three/webgpu';

No polyfills, no extra setup, no bundler tweaks required.

Why it matters

Lower friction means more developers will try WebGPU. The Three.js team has been steadily reducing barriers to WebGPU adoption.
