e2c95bdcbc MSL: Rewrite how resource indices are fallback-assigned.
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".

acae607703 Register implied expression reads in OpLoad/OpAccessChain.
This is required to avoid relying on complex sub-expression elimination
in compilers, and generates cleaner code.

The problem case is if a complex expression is used in an access chain,
like:

Composite comp = buffer[texture(...)];
vec4 a = comp.a + comp.b + comp.c;

Before, we did not have common subexpression tracking for
OpLoad/OpAccessChain, so we easily ended up with code like:

vec4 a = buffer[texture(...)].a + buffer[texture(...)].b + buffer[texture(...)].c;

A good compiler will optimize this, but we should not rely on it, and
forcing texture(...) to a temporary also looks better.

The solution is to add a vector "implied_expression_reads", which works
similarly to expression_dependencies. We also need an extra mechanism in
to_expression which lets us skip expression read checking and do it
later. E.g. for expr -> access chain -> load, we should only trigger
a read of expr when using the loaded expression.
