intel/nir: Lower array-deref-of-vector UBO and SSBO loads
This fixes a serious performance issue with DXVK:
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/937
This was caused by a recent change that to improve performance on RADV
which back-fired on ANV and killed performance for some apps:
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/commit/e5a06d3f4a103a54cd4eb51970fedee405d1d698
Throwing in this bit of lowering lets us come along and CSE those UBO
loads (or copy-prop for SSBO load) and get one load where we previously
would have gotten several.

All of the shaders with hurt spilling were in Rise of the Tomb Raider
which also had shaders solidly helped in the spilling department. Not
shown in those results (because I've not had success dumping the
shaders) is Witcher 3 where this reduces spilling and improves over-all
perf by around 20-25%. There were no shader-db changes. Apparently,
this just isn't a pattern that happens in OpenGL.
