      HLSL: handle multiple clip/cull semantic IDs · 307b6507
      LoopDawg authored
      HLSL allows several variables to be declared.  There are packing rules involved:
      e.g, a float3 and a float1 can be packed into a single array[4], while for a
      float3 and another float3, the second one will skip the third array entry to
      avoid straddling
      
      This is implements that ability.  Because there can be multiple variables involved,
      and the final output array will often be a different type altogether (to fuse
      the values into a single destination), a new variable is synthesized, unlike the prior
      clip/cull support which used the declared variable.  The new variable name is
      taken from one of the declared ones, so the old tests are unchanged.
      
      Several new tests are added to test various packing scenarios.
      
      Only two semantic IDs are supported: 0, and 1, per HLSL rules.  This is
      encapsulated in
      
           static const int maxClipCullRegs = 2;
      
      and the algorithm (probably :) ) generalizes to larger values, although there
      are a few issues around how HLSL would pack (e.g, would 4 scalars be packed into
      a single HLSL float4 out reg?  Probably, and this algorithm assumes so).
