Backend for [MSL][msl] (Metal Shading Language).
This backend does not support the [`SHADER_INT64_ATOMIC_ALL_OPS`][all-atom]
capability.
## Binding model
Metal's bindings are flat per resource. Since there isn't an obvious mapping
from SPIR-V's descriptor sets, we require a separate mapping provided in the options.
This mapping may have one or more resource end points for each descriptor set + index
pair.
## Entry points
Even though MSL and our IR appear to be similar in that the entry points in both can
accept arguments and return values, the restrictions are different.
MSL allows the varyings to be either in separate arguments, or inside a single
`[[stage_in]]` struct. We gather input varyings and form this artificial structure.
We also add all the (non-Private) globals into the arguments.
At the beginning of the entry point, we assign the local constants and re-compose
the arguments as they are declared on IR side, so that the rest of the logic can
pretend that MSL doesn't have all the restrictions it has.
For the result type, if it's a structure, we re-compose it with a temporary value
holding the result.

## Pointer-typed bounds-checked expressions and OOB locals
MSL (unlike HLSL and GLSL) has native support for pointer-typed function
arguments. When the [`BoundsCheckPolicy`] is `ReadZeroSkipWrite` and an
out-of-bounds index expression is used for such an argument, our strategy is to
pass a pointer to a dummy variable. These dummy variables are called "OOB
locals". We emit at most one OOB local per function for each type, since all
expressions producing a result of that type can share the same OOB local. (Note
that the OOB local mechanism is not actually implementing "skip write", nor even
"read zero" in some cases of read-after-write, but doing so would require
additional effort and the difference is unlikely to matter.)

## External textures
Support for [`crate::ImageClass::External`] textures is implemented by lowering
each external texture global variable to 3 `texture2d<float, sample>`s, and a
constant buffer of type `NagaExternalTextureParams`. This provides up to 3
planes of texture data (for example single planar RGBA, or separate Y, Cb, and
Cr planes), and the parameters buffer containing information describing how to
handle these correctly. The bind target to use for each of these globals is
specified via the [`BindTarget::external_texture`] field of the relevant
entries in [`EntryPointResources::resources`].
External textures are supported by WGSL's `textureDimensions()`,
`textureLoad()`, and `textureSampleBaseClampToEdge()` built-in functions. These
are implemented using helper functions. See the following functions for how
these are generated:
`Writer::write_wrapped_image_query`
`Writer::write_wrapped_image_load`
`Writer::write_wrapped_image_sample`
The lowered global variables for each external texture global are passed to the
entry point as separate arguments (see "Entry points" above). However, they are
then wrapped in a struct to allow them to be conveniently passed to user
defined and helper functions. See `writer::EXTERNAL_TEXTURE_WRAPPER_STRUCT`.
