iris: Record state sizes for INTEL_DEBUG=bat decoding.
Felix noticed a crash when using INTEL_DEBUG=bat decoding. It turned out that we were sometimes placing variable length data near the end of a buffer, and with the decoder guessing random lengths rather than having an actual count, it was walking off the end and crashing. So this does more than improve the decoder output. Unfortunately, this is a bit more complicated than i965's handling, because we don't have a single state buffer. Various places upload data via u_upload_mgr, and so there isn't a central place to record the size. We don't need to catch every single place, however, since it's only important to record variable length packets (like viewports and binding tables). State data also lives arbitrarily long, rather than being discarded on every batch like i965, so we don't know when to clear out old entries either. (We also don't have a callback when an upload buffer is released.) So, this tracking may space leak over time. That's probably okay though, as this is only a debugging feature and it's a slow leak. We may also get lucky and overwrite existing entries as we reuse BOs, though I find this unlikely to happen. The fact that the decoder works in terms of offsets from a state base address is also not ideal, as dynamic state base address and surface state base address differ for iris. However, because dynamic state addresses start from the top of a 4GB region, and binding tables start from addresses [0, 64K), it's highly unlikely that we'll get overlap. We can always improve this, but for now it's better than what we had.
