TextureFormatStencil extension

Whether a TextureFormat carries an eight-bit stencil beside its depth.

Asked by a backend when it opens a pass: a stencil test against an attachment that has no stencil is specified to pass always on GL and to be an invalid descriptor on Metal, and neither answer is what a caller who configured one meant. Every depth format this engine names carries one, which is why nothing above the backends has ever had to ask.
