e5fa7edfd6 MSL: Support scalar block layout.
Relaxed block layout relaxed the restrictions on vector alignment,
allowing them to be aligned on scalar boundaries. Scalar block layout
relaxes this further, allowing *any* member to be aligned on a scalar
boundary. The requirement that a vector not improperly straddle a
16-byte boundary is also relaxed.

I've also added a test showing that `std430` layout works with UBOs.

I'm troubled by the dual meaning of the `Packed` extended decoration. In
some instances (struct, `float[]`, and `vec2[]` members), it actually
means the exact opposite, that the member needs extra padding. This is
especially problematic for `vec2[]`, because now we need to distinguish
the two cases by checking the array stride. I wonder if this should
actually be split into two decorations.
