anv,intel: Enable nir_opt_large_constants for Vulkan

According to RenderDoc, this shaves 99.6% of the run time off of the
ambient occlusion pass in Skyrim Special Edition when running under DXVK
and shaves 92% off the runtime for a reasonably representative frame.
When running the actual game, Skyrim goes from being a slide-show to a
very stable and playable framerate on my SKL GT4e machine.
