glsl: validate IR after linking (debug builds only)
At least one of the invariants verified by IR validation concerns the relative ordering of toplevel constructs in the IR: references to global variables must come after the declarations of those global variables. Since linking affects the ordering of toplevel constructs in the IR, it's possible that a bug in the linker will cause invalid IR to be generated, even if all the pre-linked shaders are valid. (In fact, such a bug was fixed by the previous commit.) Bugs like this are easily masked by further optimization passes, particularly inlining. So to make them easier to track down, this patch addes an IR validation step right after linking, and before final optimization occurs. The validation only occurs on debug builds.
