Request for improved graphics support on MacOS guests (VMs)..

Hi, been exploring macOS VM on both Parallels and UTM and they lack some "GPU/graphics" things vs native MacOS which could be useful on some situations (testing some non trusted graphics apps on a Mac VM) so providing similar usefulness as Windows Sandbox.. Current limitations:

1)In MacOS VM night mode doesn't work..

2)HDR support isn't exposed even when enabling HDR on host

3)missing GPTK support for the Paravirtual GPU (Paravitual GPU supports Metal but isn't enough for GPTK to work which complains about unsupported GPU)..

4)OpenCL is supported but only the CPU device.. so expose GPU device in addition to current CPU only device..

5)OpenGL only supports the software renderer.. I assume OpenGL driver on Apple M1-4 GPUs being Metal based, and being Metal supported no reason for software renderer only

thanks..
