Description

Added error handling for requestAdapter example call.

Motivation

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2008734
Firefox seems to throw during the navigator.gpu.requestAdapter() call when WebGPU is disabled by a blocklist, so I think it's better to be explicitly demonstrate this behaviour here. We used this snippet to feature test webgpu support and fallback to webgl if it wasn't supported, so this change in Firefox broke some of our sites.
