Metal shading language follows the C++ 14 standard and in some cases requires a greater level of explicitness than GLSL. There are also some small language differences:
- Explicit type-casts (C++ requirements)
- Explicit constant values (C++ requirements, e.g. floating point values using 0.0 instead of 0).
- Metal/OpenGL compatibility paths
- GLSL Function prototypes
- Explicit accessors for vector types when sampling textures.

Adding WITH_METAL option to CMAKE to guard compilation for macOS only. Implemented stub METALBackend to mirror GPUBackend interface and added capabilities initialisation, along with API initialisation paths.
Global rendering coordination commands added to backend with GPU_render_begin and GPU_render_end() commands globally wrapping GPU work. This is required for Metal to ensure temporary resources are generated within an NSAutoReleasePool and freed accordingly.

Some C headers might define the typedefs of the enum themselves.
Even if they are guarded by preprocessor `#if`, our enum preprocessor
has no idea of the validity of the statement. So we just bypass
if there is a typedef just before any `enum` keywords.
Note that the typedef matching is quite fragile.
This uses a StorageBuf as the source of indirect dispatch argument.
The user needs to make sure the parameters are in the right order.
There is no support for argument offset for the moment as there is no
need for it. But this might be added in the future.
Note that the indirect buffer is synchronized at the backend level. This is
done for practical reasons and because this feature is almost always used
for GPU driven pipeline.
This is a faster way to clear a buffer instead of reuploading new data.
It is equivalent to `memset` and runs directly on the GPU.
This is better to clear huge buffers and to avoid the sync cost of data upload.
This adds detection of the maximum number of shader storage buffer
bindings that is supported on the current platform. This can be
useful to turn off features that require compute shaders but use
more buffer bindings than available.

This means textures need to have the number of mipmap levels specified
upfront. It does not mean the data is immutable.
There is fallback code for OpenGL < 4.2.
Immutable storage will enables texture views in the future.
Previously, objects and geometries were mapped between frames
using different hash tables in a way that is incompatible with
geometry instances. That is because the geometry mapping happened
without looking at the `persistent_id` of instances, which is not possible
anymore. Now, there is just one mapping that identifies the same
object at multiple points in time.
There are also two new caches for duplicated vbos and textures used for
motion blur. This data has to be duplicated, otherwise it would be freed
when another time step is evaluated. This caching existed before, but is
now a bit more explicit and works for geometry instances as well.

This commit should suffice to make the shader API agnostic now (given that
all users of it use the GPU API).
This makes the shaders not trigger a false positive error anymore since
the binding slots are now garanteed by the backend and not changed at
after compilation.
This also bundles all uniforms into UBOs. Making them extendable without
limitations of push constants. The generated uniforms from OCIO are not
densely packed in the UBO to avoid complexity. Another approach would be to
use GPU_uniformbuf_create_from_list but this requires converting uniforms
to GPUInputs which is too complex for what it is.

Currently whenever gl queries are performed for the viewport, a large
1024 byte array is allocated to store the query results (256 of them).
Unfortunately, if any gizmo using a `draw_select` callback is active
(e.g. the transform gizmos), these queries (and allocations) will occur
during every mouse move event.
Change the vector to allow for up to 16 query results before making an
allocation. This provides enough space for every built-in gizmo except
Scale Cage (which needs 27 queries). It also removes unnecessary
allocations from two other related vectors used during query processing.

Due to the freeing and re-creation of textures performed when binding
offscreen viewports, VR viewport textures would be needlessly
re-created every drawing iteration, leading to a negative impact on VR
frame rate.
This was brought to light by 6738ecb64e, which introduced an
additional texture clear operation on initialization and was
prohibitively costly on some systems when performed every frame.
Now, the textures for VR viewports will not be always re-created
during offscreen binding, but only when necessary using a pre-drawing
step (`wm_xr_session_surface_offscreen_ensure()`).
