Not compatible with Metal for Julia 1.11

[huiyuxie]

Similar to #2108 - since the old dependencies restrict the GPUCompiler to the old one which is out of maintenance, the Metal failed to precompile see

        Info Packages marked with ⌃ and ⌅ have new versions available. Those with ⌃ may be upgradable, but those with ⌅ are restricted by compatibility constraints from upgrading. To see why use `status --outdated -m`
Precompiling project...
  ✗ Metal
  ✗ Metal → SpecialFunctionsExt
  12 dependencies successfully precompiled in 28 seconds. 239 already precompiled.
  2 dependencies errored.
  For a report of the errors see `julia> err`. To retry use `pkg> precompile`

And the developer from JuliaGPU said that it is not feasible to make a patch for the old GPUCompiler.

Just to clarify: The root cause for this is also #2108 (comment) isn't it?
