Code Review

This pull request adds support for offscreen MSAA in the Windows OpenGL compositor by introducing a new rendering branch and corresponding unit tests. Feedback on the changes points out a critical correctness issue: the offscreen MSAA path does not allocate a texture or implement a resolve step, which will cause compositor binding failures and a blank screen. The reviewer recommends removing this branch and falling back to the single-sampled path, allowing Impeller to manage offscreen MSAA internally.
