nir: add some helpers for doing linking

The initial helpers add support for removing unused varyings between
stages.

V2:
- Moved the io mask helper function into this file rather than
  nir.h so it's not used elsewhere considering it doesn't handle
  all corner cases.
- Use bitmask rather than hash table to handle tcs outputs (Ken)
