This was added for Metal, but also gives good results with CUDA and OptiX.
Also enable it for future Apple GPUs instead of only M1 and M2, since this has
been shown to help across multiple GPUs so the better bet seems to enable
rather than disable it.
Also moves some of the logic outside of the Metal device code, and always
enables the code in the kernel since other devices don't do dynamic compile.
Time per sample with OptiX + RTX A6000:
