[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] JDK-8220154 Improve java2d rendering performance on macOS by using Metal framework

[Ajit Ghaisas]

Thanks Alexey.

I can see that now you have added the MTLTexturePool.m file. It only partially solves the build failures.
Jay & myself tried building it separately and we do still see the build failures.

Some statements need bracketing & some copy-paste errors need correction.
We could fix these errors and have got a build. We will continue our test experiments with it.

Meanwhile, you may want to update the patch to fix the build errors. 

Regards,
Ajit

So, we (here at JetBrains) decided to start a project to replace OpenGL rendering on MacOS platform with a new one based on Metal. This is a huge task, so we  decided to leverage current rendering architecture that is used in OpenGL rendering pipeline on Mac.
