radeonsi: eliminate trivial constant VS outputs
These constant value VS PARAM exports:
- 0,0,0,0
- 0,0,0,1
- 1,1,1,0
- 1,1,1,1
can be loaded into PS inputs using the DEFAULT_VAL field, and the VS exports
can be removed from the IR to save export & parameter memory.
After LLVM optimizations, analyze the IR to see which exports are equal to
the ones listed above (or undef) and remove them if they are.
Targeted use cases:
- All DX9 eON ports always clear 10 VS outputs to 0.0 even if most of them
are unused by PS (such as Witcher 2 below).
- VS output arrays with unused elements that the GLSL compiler can't
eliminate (such as Batman below).
The shader-db deltas are quite interesting:
(not from upstream si-report.py, it won't be upstreamed)
