Adds debugging information to compiled metal shaders#185629

It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests or get an explicit test exemption before merging. If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix? Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing. If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!). The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group. |

Code Review
This pull request introduces a debug mode for Metal library compilation by adding a --debug flag to the GN template and the metal_library.py script. When enabled, the compiler includes -g and -frecord-sources flags. Feedback suggests removing the redundant script reference from the GN inputs list and notes that -frecord-sources requires Metal 2.3, which may cause errors on older compiler versions.

Generally LGTM. But I don't know much about how this stuff works so I just have some comments based on Gemini's suggestions.

…ode (flutter#185798) flutter#185629 changed the metal_library build template to embed symbols within the shader library file when building in debug and profile modes. Release mode will continue to generate a separate symbol file. This PR updates the template's output list to match the actual outputs so that rebuilds will not run unncessary actions. It also changes the metal_library build script to pass only one value for the "-frecord-sources" flag that controls the output of symbols.

Adds metal shader debugging info. This makes it so you can click into sources in the xcode frame debugger. It doesn't get us line by line performance measurements though. I couldn't figure that out yet.
