UUM-150746: cube map textures error if not set

Steps to reproduce: WebGPU requires a texture to be bound if the shader expects a texture. A dummy texture will be used if one isn't set explicitly. There is an error if the shader expects a cube texture, as a 2d texture will be bound. WebGPU should provide a dummy cube texture in this scenario.
