fix(renderer): fix RT shadow shader syntax, experimental features, and R32Float sampler compatibility

- Add 'enable wgpu_ray_query' to RT shadow shader
- Fix RayDesc struct constructor syntax and rayQueryGetCommittedIntersection API
- Enable ExperimentalFeatures in GpuContext for RT
- Change RT shadow texture binding to non-filterable (R32Float)
- Use textureLoad instead of textureSample for RT shadow in lighting pass
