Short version: on Intel MacBooks it's better to prefer integrated
(`is_low_poer()`) GPUs, except when a user has an eGPU plugged-in, in
which case they very likely want to prefer that.
Before this change, we'd always prefer the integrated GPU, even if an
eGPU was available.
Now, with this change, if a user has
- eGPU
- integrated GPU
- discrete GPU
We'd first prefer eGPU, then integrated, then discrete.
Release Notes:
- Changed preference for GPUs on macOS so that eGPUs are now preferred
over integrated ones (and both of which are preferred over discrete
GPUs) on Intel Macs.
