mesa: allow variable indexing into the predefined uniform variable arrays
This allows code such as "vec4 a = gl_LightSource[i].ambient;" to work. When a built-in uniform array is indexed with a variable index we need to "unroll" the whole array into the parameter list (aka constant buffer) because we don't know which elements may be accessed at compile-time. In the case of the gl_LightSource array of size [8], we emit 64 state references into the parameter array (8 elements times 8 vec4s per gl_LightSourceParameters struct). Previously, we only allowed constant-indexed references to uniform arrays (such as gl_LightSource[2].position) which resulted in a single state reference being added to the parameter array, not 64. We still optimize this case. Users should be aware that using "gl_LightSource[i].ambient" in their shaders is a bit expensive since state validation will involve updating all 64 light source entries in the parameter list.
