Adds two modes of GPU frame capture support for
enhanced debugging. GPU frame capture begin/end
allow instantaneous frame capture of all GPU commands
within the capture boundary.
GPU frame capture scopes allow several user-defined capture
regions which can wrap key parts of code. These scopes are
exposed to connected GPU tools allowing the user to manually
trigger a capture of a known scope at the desired time.
This is currently integrated with the Metal backend for
support with Xcode.

MTLFrameBuffer has been implemented to support creation of RenderCommandEncoders, along with supporting functionality in the Metal Context.
Optimisation stubs for GPU_framebuffer_bind_ext has been added, which enables specific assignment of attachment load-store ops at the bind level, rather than on a framebuffer object as a whole.
Begin and end frame markers are used to encapsulate frame boundaries for explicit workload submission. This is required for explicit APIs where implicit flushing of work does not occur.

This covers implementation of the GPUTexture abstraction for the Metal backend, with additional utility functionality as required.
Some components have been temporarily disabled pending dependencies on upcoming Metal backend components, and these will be addressed as the backend is fleshed out.
One core challenge addressed in the Metal backend is the requirement for read/update routines for textures. MTLBlitCommandEncoders offer a limited range of the full functionality provided by OpenGLs texture update and read functions such that a series of compute kernels have been implemented to provide advanced functionality such as data format conversion and partial/swizzled component updates.
This diff is provided in full, but if further division is required for purposes of code review, this can be done.
