# Objective
Adds a new `Readback` component to request for readback of a
`Handle<Image>` or `Handle<ShaderStorageBuffer>` to the CPU in a future
frame.
## Solution
We track the `Readback` component and allocate a target buffer to write
the gpu resource into and map it back asynchronously, which then fires a
trigger on the entity in the main world. This proccess is asynchronous,
and generally takes a few frames.
## Showcase
```rust
let mut buffer = ShaderStorageBuffer::from(vec![0u32; 16]);
buffer.buffer_description.usage |= BufferUsages::COPY_SRC;
let buffer = buffers.add(buffer);
commands
.spawn(Readback::buffer(buffer.clone()))
.observe(|trigger: Trigger<ReadbackComplete>| {
info!("Buffer data from previous frame {:?}", trigger.event());
});
```

# Objective
- It's pretty common for users to want to read data back from the gpu
and into the main world
## Solution
- Add a simple example that shows how to read data back from the gpu and
send it to the main world using a channel.
- The example is largely based on this wgpu example but adapted to bevy
