nir: Add a pass for selectively lowering variables to scratch space

This commit adds new nir_load/store_scratch opcodes which read and write
a virtual scratch space.  It's up to the back-end to figure out what to
do with it and where to put the actual scratch data.

v2: Drop const_index comments (by anholt)
