RenderPassDescriptor: make label lifetime match doc, and make names d…

…escriptive. (#2654)

Lifetime names like `<'a, 'b>` mean that the reader must look at how
they are used to understand them. By changing them to `'tex` (lifetime
of borrows of the texture views the documentation describes) and `'desc`
(everything else), and mentioning them in the documentation, it's more
obvious which role each one plays.

For consistency, I also changed `begin_render_pass()`,
`RenderPassColorAttachment`, and `RenderPassDepthStencilAttachment` to
use matching lifetime names.

Also, this made it clear that the `Label` had the wrong lifetime --
the docs say that the texture views have a different lifetime from
“everything else”, but the `Label` in fact had the same lifetime as
the texture views, so I changed it to the `'desc` (formerly `'b`)
lifetime. (On review of change history, this mismatch was previously
introduced in commit 632f828.)
This change is definitely safe because I followed the data flow down
to `BasePass::new` which promptly calls `to_string()` on the label,
thus converting it to owned data.
