Partial implementation of static_assert (#4294)

* Error out for types not supported by texture sample functions

This commit prints errors with a new keyword, `static_assert`, when the
given texture type is not supported for the target.

* Moving the check to linkAndOptimizeIR after specialization is done

* Remove unnecessary change

* Adding test

* Remove kIROp_StaticAssert once processed

* Do not remove StaticAssert because it is needed for the next
specialization

* Remove after iteration of child is done
