ggml : add metal backend registry / device (#9713)

* ggml : add metal backend registry / device

ggml-ci

* metal : fix names [no ci]

* metal : global registry and device instances

ggml-ci

* cont : alternative initialization of global objects

ggml-ci

* llama : adapt to backend changes

ggml-ci

* fixes

* metal : fix indent

* metal : fix build when MTLGPUFamilyApple3 is not available

ggml-ci

* fix merge

* metal : avoid unnecessary singleton accesses

ggml-ci

* metal : minor fix [no ci]

* metal : g_state -> g_ggml_ctx_dev_main [no ci]

* metal : avoid reference of device context in the backend context

ggml-ci

* metal : minor [no ci]

* metal : fix maxTransferRate check

* metal : remove transfer rate stuff
