glsl: lower constant arrays to uniform arrays before optimisation loop

Previously the constant array would not get copy propagated until the backend
did its GLSL IR opt loop. I plan on removing that from i965 shortly which
caused huge regressions in Deus-ex and Tomb Raider which have large
constant arrays. Moving lowering before the opt loop in the GLSL linker
fixes this and unexpectedly improves some compute shaders also.

V3: only call the opt loop if lowering progressed (Suggested by Eric)

V2: call opts before and after lowering (Suggested by Ken)
