Shader object specialization work-in-progress (#1728)

* Shader object specialization work-in-progress

The big change here is in the `setObject()` implementations, where we now take write the witness table ID and data for the value being assigned in both the CUDA and graphics-API paths (it is possible the code could be shared...). The logic for deciding whether a value "fits" in the existential value payload should actually be correct here, since it uses the reflection data.

The other relevant change is that the logic for writing out the ordinary/uniform data for a shader object on the graphics-API path has been updated so that it only allocates the GPU buffer *after* it knows the specialized layout, and can thus allocate space for any extra parameter data that wasn't in the original layout but got added by specialization. There is some inactive code in place that tries to sketch how the implementation should handle writing the data of sub-objects for interface-type fields into the appropriate areas of the allocated buffer for a parent object, but that is stubbed out for now pending implementation of the relevant reflection information.

This change also introduces logic in the graphics-API path to create a specialized layout for a shader object on-demand (so that it will only be created after the specialization arguments are known or can be inferred). The implementation needs to treat ordinary shader objects and root shader objects differently because the Slang API handles specialization differently for ordinary types vs. `IComponentType`s.

Some notes and caveats:

* The CUDA path doesn't need to compute specialized layouts the way the graphics-API path does because layout doesn't change based on specialization for that path (just as it won't for the CPU path)

* This code just skips over the RTTI field in existential values because it seems that we currently aren't using it in generated code.

* We are completely missing the logic for recursively writing the resource ranges of sub-objects bound to interface-type fields into the descriptor set(s) of the parent object. The missing link there is reflection API support, just as it is for filling in the ordinary/uniform data. We need a way to get the binding range offset (and binding array stride) for the "pending" data of a specialized interface-type field.

* The logic for computing specialization arguments based on the shader objects bound to interface-type fields has a lot of holes. Some of the indexing math is flat-out incorrect, and it also doesn't make any attempt to handle sub-object ranges with more than one element in them. I tweaked some of the code there to make it *more* correct, but that doesn't mean it is actually correct at this point.

* The logic for computing a specialized `IComponentType` for a `ProgramVars` in the graphics-API path seems to have a lot of overlap with `maybeSpecializeProgram()`, so we should look into ways to avoid the duplication over time.

* clang error fix
