[Impeller] Use a device buffer for SkBitmap allocation, use Linear texture on Metal backend. (#41374)

This reduces the cost of uploading the glyph atlas, as we can exploit metal's capabilies to create a texture from a device buffer and share the underlying memory with a linear texture. This also means that subsequent updates don't require uploads or copies either.

From scrolling through wonderous, this shaves off about 0.2 ms (0.6 ms -> 0.4 ms) of fresh atlas construction.
