nir/intrinsics: Add a vulkan_resource_index intrinsic

This is used to facilitate the Vulkan binding model where each resource is
described by a (descriptor set, binding, array index) tuple.

 /*
+ * Vulkan descriptor set intrinsic
+ *
+ * The Vulkan API uses a different binding model from GL.  In the Vulkan
+ * API, all external resources are represented by a tuple:
+ *
+ * (descriptor set, binding, array index)
+ *
+ * where the array index is the only thing allowed to be indirect.  The
+ * vulkan_surface_index intrinsic takes the descriptor set and binding as
+ * its first two indices and the array index as its source.  The third
+ * index is a nir_variable_mode in case that's useful to the backend.
+ *
+ * The intended usage is that the shader will call vulkan_surface_index to
+ * get an index and then pass that as the buffer index ubo/ssbo calls.
