Changes default for render-test to sm_6_5.
Since sm_6_5 is the new default, remove the -use-dxil option, add
-use-dxcb option
Remove -use-dxil option from all test cases.
Add -use-dxcb to two tests that needed it.

Fixes #7611</content>

<title>Convert more tests to use shader objects (#1659)</title>

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>Fix GLSL output for byte-address loads of vectors (#1558)</title>

While working on #1557, it became clear that something was going wrong when using `*ByteAddressBuffer.Load&lt;T&gt;` to load a vector type on GLSL/SPIR-V targets.

The root problem was that the IR-level layout logic (which computes the "natural" layout of a type) had not yet been extended to handle vectors. The fix is simple enough, but it highlights the fact that we probably need to go ahead and "complete" that layout logic sooner or later.

This change includes a test case that covers the behavior added here, as well as the case that #1557 fixes. Unfortunately, due to CI system limitations, the HLSL/dxc part of the test is not yet enabled.</content>
