[MacOS] Crash on mono_handle_native_crash when loading a Compute Shader

Metal

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Download the attached Unity project "CrashBug.zip" from Google Drive (link in the edit)
2. Go to Assets > WickedRealm > Levels > Scenes folder
3. Open "Sam.Gym.unity" Scene
4. Observe the Editor

Expected result: Editor does not crash
Actual result: Editor crashes

Reproducible with: 2020.3.22f1, 2021.1.28f1, 2021.2.2f1, 2022.1.0a15
Could not test with: 2019.4.32f1 (Console errors after downgrading)

Notes:
- Issue is not reproducible on Windows (no crash)

  1. Resolution Note:

    According to the documentation, section "Cross-platform best practices" (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-ComputeShader.html), the user needs to guard against out-of-bounds access in compute shaders, as this may lead to undefined behavior and crashes when e.g. using Metal.
    1. Add `settings.explosionCompute.SetInt("_VertPosBufferSize", _NeighbrosBufferSize);` to line ExplosionEffectRenderFeature.cs:390.
    2. Add `if (id.x >= _VertPosBufferSize) return;` to the beginning of `CS_InitialDisplace`, `CS_SecondaryDisplace` and `CS_RectifyNormals` in `ExplosionCompute.compute`.

    In addition to this, `cmd.Clear()` at ExplosionEffectRenderFeature.cs:376 is also causing problems, because the clear is called inside the `using (new ProfilingScope(cmd, _profilingSampler)) {}` block. Therefore, `cmd.Clear()` should be called before this block (e.g. at line 367).
