If you are using SDL_gpu use SDL_shadercross

I have been writing a new renderer for my engine using the new and interesting SDL GPU API.
This has been mostly a nice exprience, but working with shaders across platforms has been really
annoying.
This is just a quick note, that atleast for me, writing shaders in Slang to compile shaders to Metal and SPIR-V for use
with the GPU API, has been very annoying and things were constantly breaking between Metal and Vulkan. I think it's a good idea to
just write HLSL and use SDL_shadercross to compile those to Metal and SPIR-V.
