gallium: Add a nir-to-TGSI pass.
The goal is to replace glsl_to_tgsi.cpp and its supporting code (~10k
LOC). This code ends up being smaller because NIR has many lowering
passes that help it map better to TGSI than GLSL IR does.
As a benefit, this brings NIR optimizations to TGSI-only drivers.
Many of the softpipe shaders I've looked at end up being significantly
shorter. Some potentially relevant changes to TGSI consumers:
- All immediates are now UINT typed. This means they're less legible
in printouts, but means that they get deduplicated better (no more
multiple copies of 0x0!)
- Sampler views are not currently declared.
- nir_registers don't have their live ranges tracked, so TGSI temp usage
may go up with a lot of control flow.
- nir_lower_vec_to_mov naively inserts movs instead of trying to coalesce
the movs with the generators of the ssa values, sometimes increasing
instruction count.
