glsl: Add an optimization pass to flatten simple nested if blocks.

GLBenchmark 2.7's shaders contain conditional blocks like:

if (x) {
    if (y) {
        ...
    }
}

where the outer conditional's then clause contains exactly one statement
(the nested if) and there are no else clauses.  This can easily be
optimized into:

if (x && y) {
    ...
}

This saves a few instructions in GLBenchmark 2.7:

    total instructions in shared programs: 11833 -> 11649 (-1.55%)
    instructions in affected programs:     8234 -> 8050 (-2.23%)

It also helps CS:GO slightly (-0.05%/-0.22%).  More importantly,
however, it simplifies the control flow graph, which could enable other
optimizations.
