In GLSL-to-NIR we were just setting the base index to 0 whenever there was
an indirect so having it expressed as a sum makes no sense. Also, while a
base offset may make sense for the memory location (first element in the
array, etc.) it makes less sense for the actual uniform buffer index. This
may change later, but it seems to make more sense for now.

This commit renames nir_instr_as_texture to nir_instr_as_tex and renames
nir_instr_type_texture to nir_instr_type_tex to be consistent with
nir_tex_instr.

This pass uses the previously built algebraic transformations framework and
should act as an example for anyone else wanting to make an algebraic
transformation pass for NIR.

This commit builds on the nir_search.h infastructure by adding a bit of
python code that makes it stupid easy to write an algebraic transformation
pass. The nir_algebraic.py file contains four python classes that
correspond directly to the datastructures in nir_search.c and allow you to
easily generate the C code to represent them. Given a list of
search-and-replace operations, it can then generate a function that applies
those transformations to a shader.
The transformations can be specified manually, or they can be specified
using nested tuples. The nested tuples make a neat little language for
specifying expression trees and search-and-replace operations in a very
readable and easy-to-edit fasion.
The generated code is also fairly efficient. Insteady of blindly calling
nir_replace_instr with every single transformation and on every single
instruction, it uses a switch statement on the instruction opcode to do a
first-order culling and only calls nir_replace_instr if the opcode is known
to match the first opcode in the search expression.

This framework provides a simple way to do simple search-and-replace
operations on NIR code. The nir_search.h header provides four simple data
structures for representing expressions: nir_value and four subtypes:
nir_variable, nir_constant, and nir_expression. An expression tree can
then be represented by nesting these data structures as needed. The
nir_replace_instr function takes an instruction, an expression, and a
value; if the instruction matches the expression, it is replaced with a new
chain of instructions to generate the given replacement value. The
framework keeps track of swizzles on sources and automatically generates
the currect swizzles for the replacement value.

Previously, the casting operations were macros. While this is usually
fine, the casting macro used the input parameter twice leading to strange
behavior when you passed the result of another function into it. Since we
know the source and destination types explicitly, we don't loose anything
by making it a function.
Also, this gives us a nice little macro for creating cast function that
will hopefully prevent mistyping.

We used to have the number of components built into the intrinsic. This
meant that all of our load/store intrinsics had vec1, vec2, vec3, and vec4
variants. This lead to piles of switch statements to generate the correct
intrinsic names, and introspection to figure out the number of components.
We can make things much nicer by allowing "vectorized" intrinsics.

With this commit, the GLSL IR -> NIR pass generates NIR in more-or-less SSA
form. It's SSA in the sense that it doesn't have any registers, but it
isn't really useful SSA because it still has a pile of load/store
intrinsics that we will need to get rid of.

This pass analizes all of the load/store operations and, when a variable is
never aliased (potentially used by an indirect operation), it is lowered
directly to an SSA value. This pass translates to SSA directly and does
not require any fixup by the original to-SSA pass.

Instead, we give SSA definitions a temporary index of 0xFFFFFFFF if the
instruction does not have a block and a proper index when it actually gets
added to the list.

Previously, we used a string name. It was nice for translating out of GLSL
IR (which also does that) but cumbersome the rest of the time.

Backends want to be able to do special things with constant values such as
put them into immediates or make decisions based on whether or not a value
is constant. Before, constants always got lowered to a load_const into a
register and then a register use. Now we leave constants as SSA values so
backends can special-case them if they want. Since handling constant SSA
values is trivial, this shouldn't be a problem for backends.

This pass is still fairly basic. It only handles ALU operations, constant
loads, and phi nodes. No texture ops or intrinsics yet.
