Previously when generating the send instruction for a sample
instruction with an indirect sampler it would use the destination
register as a temporary store. This breaks when used in combination
with the opt_sampler_eot optimisation because that forces the
destination to be null. This patch fixes that by avoiding the temp
register altogether.

The reason the temporary register was needed was because it was trying
to ensure the binding table index doesn't overflow a byte by and'ing
it with 0xff. The result is then or'd with samper_index<<8. This patch
instead just and's the whole thing by 0xfff. This will ensure that a
bogus sampler index won't overflow into the rest of the message
descriptor but unlike the previous code it won't ensure that the
binding table index doesn't overflow into the sampler index. It
doesn't seem like that should matter very much though because if the
shader is generating a bogus sampler index then it's going to just get
garbage out either way.

Instead of doing sampler_index<<8|(sampler_index+base_table_index) the
new code avoids one operation by doing
sampler_index*0x101+base_table_index which should be equivalent.
However if we wanted to avoid the multiply for some reason we could do
this by adding an extra or instruction still without needing the
temporary register.

This fixes a number of Piglit tests on Skylake that were using
indirect samplers such as:
