New Texture to tensor API

[benbro]

Can this help improve the WebGL pipeline?
tensorflow/tfjs#6853
tensorflow/tfjs#3937

As far as I understand, this API is meant to create a tfjs tensor from a WebGL texture. The related tests create WebGL textures manually and then they create tensors from these textures through the API.

The WebGL pipeline of this repo doesn't use tfjs tensors and it doesn't use tfjs at all neither. The WebGL pipeline creates and relies on WebGL textures in a way that is equivalent to what is done in the tests defined in the PR that you shared.
