Description
MSL 2.2 on iOS at least adds new methods for reading and sampling textures that additionally return whether or not the texture memory was resident. These correspond to `OpImageSparseXxx` in SPIR-V. It should now be possible to implement those operations.

Research direction
Start by locating the MSL texture reading and sampling entry points and the handling of the SPIR-V OpImageSparseXxx operations. Compare those paths with the MSL 2.2 residency-returning methods described in the issue; done means the sparse image residency operations are supported for MSL output.
