f3c0942d10 MSL: Use vectors for the tessellation level builtins in tese shaders.
The tessellation levels in Metal are stored as a densely-packed array of
half-precision floating point values. But, stage-in attributes in Metal
have to have offsets and strides aligned to a multiple of four, so we
can't add them individually. Luckily for us, the arrays have lengths
less than 4. So, let's use vectors for them!

Triangles get a single attribute with a `float4`, where the outer levels
are in `.xyz` and the inner levels are in `.w`. The arrays are unpacked
as though we had added the elements individually. Quads get two: a
`float4` with the outer levels and a `float2` with the inner levels.
Further, since vectors can be indexed as arrays, there's no need to
unpack them in this case.

This also saves on precious vertex attributes. Before, we were using up
to 6 of them. Now we need two at most.

e75add42c9 MSL: Add support for tessellation evaluation shaders.
These are mapped to Metal's post-tessellation vertex functions. The
semantic difference is much less here, so this change should be simpler
than the previous one. There are still some hairy parts, though.

In MSL, the array of control point data is represented by a special
type, `patch_control_point<T>`, where `T` is a valid stage-input type.
This object must be embedded inside the patch-level stage input. For
this reason, I've added a new type to the type system to represent this.

On Mac, the number of input control points to the function must be
specified in the `patch()` attribute. This is optional on iOS.
SPIRV-Cross takes this from the `OutputVertices` execution mode; the
intent is that if it's not set in the shader itself, MoltenVK will set
it from the tessellation control shader. If you're translating these
offline, you'll have to update the control point count manually, since
this number must match the number that is passed to the
`drawPatches:...` family of methods.

Fixes #120.
