This patch replaces the ir_loop fields "from", "to", "increment",
"counter", and "cmp" with a single integer ("normative_bound") that
serves the same purpose.
I've used the name "normative_bound" to emphasize the fact that the
back-end is required to emit code to prevent the loop from running
more than normative_bound times. (By contrast, an "informative" bound
would be a bound that is informational only).

Previously, all of the back-ends (ir_to_mesa, st_glsl_to_tgsi, and the
i965 fs and vec4 visitors) had nearly identical logic for handling
bounded loops. This replaces the duplicate logic with an equivalent
lowering pass that is used by all the back-ends.
Note: on i965, there is a slight increase in instruction count. For
example, a loop like this:
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
total += i;
}
would previously compile down to this (vec4) native code:
mov(8) g4<1>.xD 0D
mov(8) g8<1>.xD 0D
loop:
cmp.ge.f0(8) null g8<4;4,1>.xD 100D
(+f0) break(8)
add(8) g5<1>.xD g5<4;4,1>.xD g4<4;4,1>.xD
add(8) g8<1>.xD g8<4;4,1>.xD 1D
add(8) g4<1>.xD g4<4;4,1>.xD 1D
while(8) loop
After this patch, the "(+f0) break(8)" turns into:
(+f0) if(8)
break(8)
endif(8)
because the back-end isn't smart enough to recognize that "if
(condition) break;" can be done using a conditional break instruction.
However, it should be relatively easy for a future peephole
optimization to properly optimize this.
