c7ce92a95b MSL: Manually update BuiltInHelperInvocation when a fragment is discarded.
Some Metal devices have a bug where `simd_is_helper_thread()` won't
return true after a fragment has been discarded. We can work around this
by manually setting `gl_HelperInvocation` upon discarding a fragment.
This is fairly unintrusive, so it is enabled by default. I've made it an
option so that, when the bug is fixed, we can disable it.

2219c4a392 MSL: Support SPV_EXT_demote_to_helper_invocation for MSL 2.3.
MSL 2.3 has everything needed to support this extension on all
platforms. The existing `discard_fragment()` function was given demote
semantics, similar to Direct3D, and the `simd_is_helper_thread()`
function was finally added to iOS.

I've left the old test alone. Should I remove it in favor of these?
