metal: fix memory unwire if model is freed without any GPU operations (llama/26082) 

* metal: fix memory leak if model is freed without any GPU operations

* metal: run dummy work only if residency sets are used

* metal: wrap function in #if defined

* metal: measure system-wide wired memory in test

* metal: always build regression test
