Jason Fielder c760248fc5 Metal: Improve AMD EEVEE Performance
Complex EEVEE nodegraphs, particularly those combining
multiple principledBSDF shader nodes have a tendancy
to require a large number of simultaneous live registers
due to function call depth. In some instances, this
causes substantial performance drop and corruption if
the stack gets too large.

To mitigate this, splitting calls to closure_eval such
that only a single individual closure is evaluated in each
call reduces the number of live registers required. This
is preferred over using compound closure evaluation
functions which require a large amount of in-flight data.

Note that this is generally not more optimal, if the stack
does not spill, as there is an increased instruction count.
The specific trade-off depends on the exact architecture
in question. Hence, this is limited to AMD GPUs.
