Previously, each backend would allocate and free the renderer struct. Now
the higher level does it, so the backends only manage their private resources.
This removes some boilerplate and avoids some potential accidents.

Reference Issue #10174.
On some system like MacBook Pro Intel with AMD card, asking for the default device will always return the AMD GPU.
This is not an issue for 99% of the case when the renderer context is here to provide the maximum performance level like for game.
However, for video application using GPU for 1 quad and 1 texture, using the discrete GPU for that lead to an important power consumption (4 to 8W), heat increase, and fan noise.
With this patch, I successfully amend ffplay to only use the integrated GPU (i.e. the Intel one), instead of the discrete GPU (i.e. the AMD one).
I updated .clang-format and ran clang-format 14 over the src and test directories to standardize the code base.
In general I let clang-format have it's way, and added markup to prevent formatting of code that would break or be completely unreadable if formatted.
The script I ran for the src directory is added as build-scripts/clang-format-src.sh
This fixes:

It turns out that we can safely create a Metal view on an existing window, and that avoids issues with the window being recreated with the wrong orientation in iOS 16.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6289
This kicks in if the platform doesn't support vsync directly, or if the present fails for some reason (e.g. minimized on some platforms)

Change Cocoa SDL_VideoData and SDL_WindowData implementations from C structs to Objective-C objects, since bridging between C and ObjC is easier that way.
Currently, if an application wants to toggle VSync, they'd have to tear
down the renderer and recreate it. This patch fixes that by letting
applications call SDL_RenderSetVSync().
This is the same as the patch in #3673, except it applies to all
renderers (including PSP, even thought it seems that the VSync flag is
disabled for that renderer). Furthermore, the renderer flags also change
as well, which #3673 didn't do. It is also an API instead of using hint
callbacks (which could be potentially dangerous).
Closes#3673.
Fixes SDL_CreateWindowAndRenderer (and similar situations) not choosing a Metal backend. See #3991.
Passing an explicit backend into CreateWindow, eg SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL or SDL_WINDOW_METAL, will still prevent the window from being used with other backend types.
This is caused by the Metal renderer recreating the window because by default we create an OpenGL window on macOS.
It turns out that at least on macOS 10.15, a window that has been initialized for OpenGL can also be used with Metal. So we'll skip recreating the window in that case.

I tested building commit http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/7adf3fdc19f3 on Mac Catalyst and found some issues:
* MTLFeatureSet_iOS_* enums aren't available under Mac Catalyst.
* OpenGL ES is unavailable under Mac Catalyst.
* Some Metal features are available under Catalyst but not iOS, such as displaySyncEnabled.
* Set Metal as the default renderer on Mac Catalyst
Attaching a patch that will make SDL2 build for Mac Catalyst.
