nir,intel/compiler: Use a fixed subgroup size

The GL_ARB_shader_ballot spec says that gl_SubGroupSizeARB is declared
as a uniform.  This means that it cannot change across an invocation
such as a draw call or a compute dispatch.  For compute shaders, we're
ok because we only ever use one dispatch size.  For fragment, however,
the hardware dynamically chooses between SIMD8 and SIMD16 which violates
the spec.  Instead, let's just pick a subgroup size based on the shader
stage.  The fixed size we choose for compute shaders is a bit higher
than strictly needed but there's no real harm in that.  The advantage is
that, if they do anything interesting with the value, NIR will see it as
an immediate and can optimize better.
