metal : handle buffers larger than device's maxBufferLength (#1826)

* metal : handle buffers larger than device's maxBufferLength

* metal : print more verbose device info + handle errors

* metal : fix prints for overlapping views

* metal : minimize view overlap to try to utilize device memory better
