Based on CTS testing, math optimizations between MSL and Vulkan are inconsistent.
In some cases, enabling MSL's fast-math compilation option matches Vulkan's math
results. In other cases, disabling it does. Broadly enabling or disabling fast-math
across all shaders results in some CTS test failures either way.
To fix this, selectively enable/disable fast-math optimizations in the MSL code,
using metal::fast and metal::precise function namespaces, where supported, and
the [[clang::optnone]] function attribute otherwise.
Adjust SPIRV-Cross unit test reference shaders to accommodate these changes.
We used to use the Binding decoration for this, but this method is
hopelessly broken. If no explicit MSL resource remapping exists, we
remap automatically in a manner which should always "just work".
This roughly matches their semantics in SPIR-V and MSL. For `FMin`,
`FMax`, and `FClamp`, and the Metal functions `fast::min()`,
`fast::max()`, and `fast::clamp()`, the result is undefined if any
operand is NaN. For the 'N' operations and their corresponding MSL
`precise::` functions, the result is consistent with IEEE 754 (first
non-NaN wins; result is NaN if all operands are NaN).
We can only do this with 32-bit floats, though, because Metal only
provides these variants for `float`. `half` only has one variant of
these functions that is presumably consistent with IEEE 754. I guess
that's OK; the SPIR-V spec only says that `F{Min,Max,Clamp}` are
undefined for NaNs. Performance might suffer, though.
Support flattening StorageOutput & StorageInput matrices and arrays.
No longer move matrix & array inputs to separate buffer.

CompilerMSL track vars_needing_early_declaration.
Pass global output variables as variables to functions that access them.
Sort input structs by location, same as output structs.
Emit struct declarations in order output, input, uniforms.
Regenerate reference shaders to new formats defined by above.
Support Workgroup (threadgroup) variables.
Mark if SPIRConstant is used as an array length, since it cannot be specialized.
Resolve specialized array length constants.
Support passing an array to MSL function.
Support emitting GLSL array assignments in MSL via an array copy function.
Support for memory and control barriers.
Struct packing enhancements, including packing nested structs.
Enhancements to replacing illegal MSL variable and function names.

Remove CompilerGLSL::clean_func_name() as obsolete.
Fixes to types in bitcast MSL functions.
Add Variant::get_id() member function.
Add CompilerMSL::Options::msl_version option.
Add numerous MSL compute tests.
Support BuiltInFragDepth.
Emit interface block for StorageClassUniformConstant.
Throw exception when output or fragment input structs contain matrix or array.
Dynamically created interface structs sorted by location number instead of alphabetically.
Add Compiler::is_array() function.
CompilerMSL accesses options using same design pattern as CompilerGLSL and CompilerHLSL.
CompilerMSL support setting VA & rez binding specs via either constructor or compile() method overload.
CompilerMSL support single UBO packing and padding in single pass.
spriv_cross app (main.cpp) supports turning off UBO packing and padding via command line option.
Add MSL UBO alignment test shader.
Add to suite of MSL tests and references any existing GLSL tests
that successfully convert GLSL->SPIRV->MSL and compile as MSL.
test_shaders_helper() ignores hidden files that start with '.',
to avoid accidentally finding hidden OSX files such as .DS_Store.
Use xcrun to compile MSL shaders instead of hard-coded path to Metal compiler.
Wrap calls to xcrun in exception handling to ignore if Xcode not installed.
For MSL tests, move call to validate_shader_msl() to after call to
regression_check() to allow a converted MSL shader to be saved for
manual review even if it doesn't successfully compile as MSL.
