- [x] Metal dash shader

- [x] Update ui::Divider to use new pattern

This PR introduces proper dashed dividers using the new `PatternDash`
background shader.
Before this we were using 128 elements to create a dashed divider, which
is both expensive, and would not scale beyond a certain size. This
allows us to simplify the divider element as well.
Changes:
- Adds `BackgroundOrientation` to `gpui::color::Background` to allow
specifying a direction for a pattern
- Adds the PatternDash pattern variant
- Updates `ui::Divider`'s dashed variants to be more efficient
Misc:
- Documents the `ui::Divider` component
- Treat `.metal` files as `C` in the Zed project until we get some metal
syntax highlighting.
Release Notes:
- N/A

Adds support for a new background type in gpui, `pattern_slash`.
Usage:
```rust
div().size(px(56.0)).bg(pattern_slash(gpui::red()))
```
This will create a 56px square with a red slash pattern fill.
You can run the pattern example with `cargo run -p gpui --example
pattern`:

After talking with @as-cii at length about how we want to support
patterns in gpui, we decided for now we'll simply add a new
BackgroundTag specific to this pattern.
It isn't the best long term plan however – we'll likely want to
introduce the concept of a `Fill` at some point so we can have
`Fill::Solid`, `Fill::Gradient(LinearGradient)`, etc in the future.
The pattern is designed to seamlessly tile vertically for elements of
the same height. For example, for use in editor line backgrounds:

Release Notes:
(do we do gpui release notes?)
- Adds support for slash pattern fills in `gpui`.
