cargo: Replace metal-rs patch with git dependency

`gpu-allocator` is a library crate, meaning that `[patch]`es don't
get applied when users depend on our crate, and falsely end up with
a broken build while our CI said everything was hunky dory (
#224).  Even
though we cannot normally have a direct `git` dependency as that blocks
us from publishing to crates.io, the current `gpu-allocator` release
(though only for Metal) is broken anyway.  It's relying on functionality
that has just now been merged upstream, but still has to make it into a
(followup patch) release.

What's worse, the harcoded hash that this was pointing to no longer
has a live reference on our fork (maybe due to a force-push), and the
CI is now failing to to fetch that commit by hash while build-testing
`gpu-allocator`.

Let's bump to a `git` dependency for now, and replace that as soon as we
have a workable solution, however that pans out.
