Previously, we had an instance buffer pool that could only allocate
buffers with a fixed size (hardcoded to 2mb). This caused certain scenes
to render partially, e.g. when showing tens of thousands of glyphs on a
big screen.
With this commit, when `MetalRenderer` detects that a scene would be too
large to render using the current instance buffer size, it will:
- Clear the existing instance buffers
- Allocate new instance buffers that are twice as large
- Retry rendering the scene that failed with the newly-allocated buffers
during the same frame.
This fixes#11615.
Release Notes:
- Fixed rendering issues that could arise when having large amounts of
text displayed on a large display. Fixed by dynamically increasing the
size of the buffers used on the GPU.
