Improve energy conservation in the solari BRDF (#24246)
# Objective This PR is split off from #23818. It depends on #24313, which is integrated as the first commit here. There's an issue in the solari BRDF which causes partially metallic objects to lose energy in the white furnace test. ## Solution The current BRDF computes a blended F0 between metallic and dielectric materials, and then uses it it for calculations. It should be evaluating both the metallic and dielectric BRDFs separately and only blend them as a last step. A similar issue used to be present for IBL and was fixed in the same way, see #23203. ## Showcase ### White furnace test Main: <img width="1280" height="720" alt="layering" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5c7abaac-93ac-4a35-be76-e81681094232" /> This PR: <img width="1280" height="720" alt="mixing" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d0c32bab-c880-4222-a255-1f9a5c2e3f6a" />
