Some tests are now passing and are enabled.
Other tests are still failing, but are given comments categorizing the failures.

Tests in the 'Not supported in WGSL' category are also removed from the expected failures
list. (Though they are still kept disabled for WebGPU, of course.)

This closes #5519.</content>

This change converts a large number of our existing tests to use the `ShaderObject` support that was added to the `gfx` layer.

In many cases, tests were just updated to pass `-shaderobj` and the result Just Worked.
In other cases, a `name` attribute had to be added to one or more `TEST_INPUT` lines.

For tests that did not work with shader objects "out of the box," I spent a little bit of time trying to get them work, but fell back to letting those tests run in the older mode.
Future changes to the infrastructure will be needed to get those additional tests working in the new path.

Along with the changes to test files, the following implementation changes were made to get additional tests working:

* Because the shader object mode uses explicit register bindings (from reflection), the hacky logic that was offseting `u` registers for D3D12 based on the number of render targets gets disabled (by another hack).

* The "flat" reflection information coming from Slang was not correctly reporting "binding ranges" for things that consumed only uniform data (which would be everything on CUDA/CPU), so it was refactored to properly include binding ranges for anything where the type of the field/variable implied a binding range should be created (even if the `LayoutResourceKind` was `::Uniform`).

* A few fixes were made to the CUDA implementation of `Renderer`, in order to get additional tests up and running. Most of these changes had to do with texture bindings, which hadn't really been tested previously.

In addition, a few changes were made that were attempts at getting more tests working, but didn't actually help. These could be dropped if requested:

* As a quality-of-life feature (not being used) the `object` style of `TEST_INPUT` line is upgraded to support inferring the type to use from the type of the input being set.

* Any `object` shader input lines get ignored in non-shader-object mode.</content>

<title>Remove support for explicit register/binding syntax on TEST_INPUT (#1132)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2ea64ff4f2c7c43b72ff24650330fca79a87500f</id>
<content type='text'>
The `TEST_INPUT` facility allows textual Slang test cases to provide two kinds of information to the `render-test` tool:

1. Information on what shader inputs exist
2. Information on what values/objects to bind into those shader inputs

Under the first category of information, there exists supporting for attaching a `dxbinding(...)` annotation to a `TEST_INPUT` which seemingly indicates what HLSL `register` the input uses. There is a similar `glbinding(...)` annotation, used for OpenGL and Vulkan.

It turns out that these annotations were, in practice, completely ignored and had no bearing on how `render-test` allocates or bindings graphics API objects. There was some amount of code attempting to validate that explicit registers/bindings were being set appropriately, but the actual values were being ignored.

The visible consequence of the `dxbinding` and `glbinding` annotations being ignored is issue #1036: the order of `TEST_INPUT` lines was *de facto* determining the registers/bindings that were being used by `render-test`.

This change simply removes the placebo features and strips things down to what is implemented in practice: the `TEST_INPUT` lines do not need target-API-specific binding/register numbers, because their order in the file implicitly defines them.

I added logic to the parsing of `TEST_INPUT` lines to make sure I got an error message on any leftover annotations, and went ahead and systematicaly deleted all of the placebo annotations from our test cases.

If we decide to make `TEST_INPUT` lines *not* depend on order of declaration in the future, we can build it up as a new and better considered feature.

The main alternative I considered was to keep the annotations in place, and change `render-test` and the `gfx` abstraction layer to properly respect them, but that path actually creates much more opportunity for breakage (since every single test case would suddenly be specifying its root signature / pipeline layout via a different path using data that has never been tested). The approach in this change has the benefit of giving me high confidence that all the test cases continue to work just as they had before.</content>

<title>Improve SSA promotion for arrays and structs (#521)</title>

* Improve SSA promotion for arrays and structs

Fixes #518

The existing SSA pass would only handle `load(v)` and `store(v,...)`
where `v` is the variable instruction, and would bail out if `v` was
used as an operand in any other fashion.

The new pass adds support for `load(ac)` where `ac` is an "access chain"
with a gramar like:

    ac :: v
        | getElementPtr(ac, ...)
	| getFieldAddress(ac, ...)

What this means in practical terms is that we can promote a local
variable of array or structure type to an SSA temporary even if there
are loads of individual elements/fields, as along as any *assignment* to
the variable assigns the whole thing.

I've added a test case to confirm that this change fixes passing of
arrays as function parameters for Vulkan.

* Fixup: disable test on Vulkan because render-test isn't ready

This is a fix for Vulkan, but I don't think our testing setup is ready
for it.

* Fixup: error in unreachable return case, caught by clang

* Fixups based on testing

These are fixes found when testing the original changes against the user code that originated the bug report.

* `emit.cpp`: Make sure to handle array-of-texture types when deciding whether to declare a temporary as a local variable in GLSL output

* `ir-legalize-types.cpp`: Make a not of a source of validation failures that we need to clean up sooner or later (just not in scope for this bug fix change).

* `ir-ssa.cpp`:
  * When checking if something is an access chain with a promotable var at the end, make sure the recursive case recurses into the "access chain" logic instead of the leaf case
  * Add some assertions to guard the assumption that any access chain we apply has been scheduled for removal
  * Correctly emit an element *extract* instead of getting an element *address* when promoting an element access into an array being promoted
  * Eliminate a wrapper routine that was setting up an `IRBuilder` and use the one from the block being processed in the SSA pass (since it was set up for stuff just like this)

* `ir-validate.cpp`
  * Add a hack to avoid validation failures when running IR validation on the stdlib code. This case triggers for an initializer (`__init`) declaration inside an interface, since the logical "return type" is the interface type itself, which has no representation at the IR level and thus yields a null result type in a `FuncType` instruction.
