glsl: Eliminate ambiguity between function ins/outs and shader ins/outs
This patch replaces the three ir_variable_mode enums:
- ir_var_in
- ir_var_out
- ir_var_inout
with the following five:
- ir_var_shader_in
- ir_var_shader_out
- ir_var_function_in
- ir_var_function_out
- ir_var_function_inout
This eliminates a frustrating ambiguity: it used to be impossible to
tell whether an ir_var_{in,out} variable was a shader in/out or a
function in/out without seeing where the variable was declared in the
IR. This complicated some optimization and lowering passes, and would
have become a problem for implementing varying structs.
In the lisp-style serialization of GLSL IR to strings performed by
ir_print_visitor.cpp and ir_reader.cpp, I've retained the names "in",
"out", and "inout" for function parameters, to avoid introducing code
churn to the src/glsl/builtins/ir/ directory.
Note: a couple of comments in the code seemed to indicate that we were
planning for a possible future in which geometry shaders could have
shader-scope inout variables. Our GLSL grammar rejects shader-scope
inout variables, and I've been unable to find any evidence in the GLSL
standards documents (or extensions) that this will ever be allowed, so
I've eliminated these comments.
