Introduce a Makefile flag DS4_EMBED_KERNELS that, when set to 1, embeds the Metal shader sources directly into the executable at build time, eliminating runtime file I/O for the metal/ directory. - Add a Python script (tools/embed_metal.py) that concatenates the required .metal files into a C header (metal_embedded_extras.h). - Modify ds4_metal.m to use the embedded string when the flag is defined, skipping the file-reading path. - Update .gitignore to ignore the generated header. - Add the flag to the Makefile help text. The feature is off by default; set DS4_EMBED_KERNELS=1 to enable.

This PR adds a build flag to embed Metal kernel sources directly into the binary, enabling self-contained execution without requiring external kernel source files.
