a2e7531057 HLSL: inter-stage structure splitting.
This adds structure splitting, which among other things will enable GS support where input structs
are passed, and thus become input arrays of structs in the GS inputs.  That is a common GS case.

The salient points of this PR are:

* Structure splitting has been changed from "always between stages" to "only into the VS and out of
  the PS".  It had previously happened between stages because it's not legal to pass a struct
  containing a builtin IO variable.

* Structs passed between stages are now split into a struct containing ONLY user types, and a
  collection of loose builtin IO variables, if any.  The user-part is passed as a normal struct
  between stages, which is valid SPIR-V now that the builtin IO is removed.

* Internal to the shader, a sanitized struct (with IO qualifiers removed) is used, so that e.g,
  functions can work unmodified.

* If a builtin IO such as Position occurs in an arrayed struct, for example as an input to a GS,
  the array reference is moved to the split-off loose variable, which is given the array dimension
  itself.

When passing things around inside the shader, such as over a function call, the the original type
is used in a sanitized form that removes the builtIn qualifications and makes them temporaries.
This means internal function calls do not have to change.  However, the type when returned from
the shader will be member-wise copied from the internal sanitized one to the external type.
The sanitized type is used in variable declarations.

When copying split types and unsplit, if a sub-struct contains only user variables, it is copied
as a single entity to avoid more AST verbosity.

Above strategy arrived at with talks with @johnkslang.

This is a big complex change.  I'm inclined to leave it as a WIP until it can get some exposure to
real world cases.

2199c2404b HLSL: fix for flattening assignments from non-symbol R-values.
If a member-wise assignment from a non-flattened struct to a flattened struct sees a complex R-value
(not a symbol), it now creates a temporary to hold that value, to avoid repeating the R-value.
This avoids, e.g, duplicating a whole function call.  Also, it avoids re-using the AST node, making a
new one for each member inside the member loop.

The latter (re-use of AST node) was also an issue in the GetDimensions intrinsic decomposition,
so this PR fixes that one too.
