aa5a8c482e MSL: Prevent stores to storage resources in discarded fragments.
Some Metal devices have a bug where storage resources can still be
written to even if the fragment is discarded. This is obviously a bug in
Metal, but bothering Apple to fix it will only fix it for newer
versions; therefore, a workaround is needed for older versions. I have
made this an option so that, in case the bug is ever fixed, the
workaround can be disabled.

This workaround is simple: if a fragment shader may discard its fragment
and writes to a storage resource, a variable representing the
`HelperInvocation` built-in is created and passed to all functions. The
flag is checked on all resource writes; writes do not occur when
`HelperInvocation` is `true`. This relies on the earlier workaround to
update `HelperInvocation` when the fragment is discarded.

Fixes at least 3 failures in the CTS.
