ae6c05f6f4 MSL: Move inline uniform blocks to the end of the argument buffer.
Limit inline blocks to one per descriptor set.

This should avoid the need for complicated code to calculate the
argument buffer ID stride of an inline uniform block. If there's demand
for more inline blocks, we can revisit this.

fedbc35315 MSL: Support inline uniform blocks in argument buffers.
Here, the inline uniform block is explicit: we instantiate the buffer
block itself in the argument buffer, instead of a pointer to the buffer.
I just hope this will work with the `MTLArgumentDescriptor` API...

Note that Metal recursively assigns individual members of embedded
structs IDs. This means for automatic assignment that we have to
calculate the binding stride for a given buffer block. For MoltenVK,
we'll simply increment the ID by the size of the inline uniform block.
Then the later IDs will never conflict with the inline uniform block. We
can get away with this because Metal doesn't require that IDs be
contiguous, only monotonically increasing.
