Description
In https://github.com/llvm/offload-test-suite/issues/1360 a new `HeapIndex` parameter is going to be added to the `Resource` yaml element allow specifying where a resource can be found on the CVB/SRV/UAV or Sampler heap, for the purpose of direct resource indexing. We need to add support for this to the Metals' `MTLDevice.cpp` implementation.

Research direction
Read issue 1360 first to understand the new HeapIndex field on Resource YAML elements, then inspect the Metal implementation in MTLDevice.cpp. Trace how resources are currently located on CVB, SRV, UAV, and Sampler heaps. Done means Metal honors the specified heap location for direct resource indexing.
