A TextureView specifies a texture and a subset of its mip levels and array layers. It is used
when binding textures to compute shaders to specify which portion of the texture should be
accessed. Create a TextureView using [Texture#getView](https://api.playcanvas.com/engine/classes/Texture.md#getview).

Note: TextureView is only supported on WebGPU. On WebGL, the full texture is always bound and
this class has no effect.
