* Add an accessor for IRInst opcode
This main changing is renaming `IRInst::op` over to `IRInst::m_op` and then adds an accessor `IRInst::getOp()` to read it. The rest of the changes are just changing use sites to `getOp` (or to `m_op` in the limited cases where we write to it).
This work is in anticipation of a future change that might need to store an extra bit in the same field as the opcode. It seemed better to do this massive refactoring as a separate PR.
* fixup

* Make witness and RTTI handles lower to `uint2`.
And enable some dynamic dispatch tests on D3D/VK.
* Bug fixes.

Overview
========
Prior to this change, we had two different code generation strategies for interface/existential types in Slang, that didn't always play nicely together:
* The "legacy" static specialization approach could handle plugging in an arbitrary concrete type for an existential type parameter (including types with resources, etc.), but wouldn't work well with things like a `StructuredBuffer<>` of an interface type, and requires somewhat counter-intuitive layout rules to make work.
* The new dynamic dispatch approach produces simpler, more easily understood layouts by assuming that values of interface type can fit into a fixed number of bytes. The tradeoff there is that it cannot handle types that include resources (only POD types).
The goal of this change is to make it so that the two strategies can co-exist. In particular, in cases where a shader is amenable to both static specialization and dynamic dispatch, the type layouts should agree.
In order to make the type layouts agree, we:
* Declare that *all* values of existential type reserve storage according to the dynamic-dispatch rules (so 16 bytes for the RTTI and witness-table information, plus whatever bytes are needed to story "any value" of a conforming type).
* Then we modify the "legacy" layout rules so that if a value of concrete type can fit in the reserved "any value" space for a given interface, then it is laid out there exactly like the dynamic dispatch rules would do. Otherwise, we fall back to the previous legacy rules (since we don't need to agree with the dynamic-dispatch layout on types that can't be used with dynamic dispatch).
Details
=======
* Renamed `ExistentialBox` to `BoundInterfaceType` to better clarify how it relates to `BindExistentialsType`
* Unconditionally apply the `lowerGenerics` pass during emit, since it is now responsible for aspects of the lowering of existential types when specialization is used.
* Made IR type layout take the target into account, so that the layout of resource types can vary by target (e.g., being POD on some targets, and invalid on others)
* Cleaned up some issues around using global shader parameters as the "key" for their layout information in the global-scope layout (only comes up when there are global-scope `uniform` parameters)
* Made there be a default any-value size (16) instead of making it be an error to leave out. This was the simplest option; we could try to go back to having an error, but we'd need to only issue it if we are sure a type/interface is being used with dynamic dispatch, since static dispatch doesn't have to obey the restrictions.
* Changed lowering of existential types to tuples so that bound interfaces where the concrete type won't fit use a "pseudo-pointer" instead of an "any-value" to hold the payload
* Changed IR type legalization to handle the "pseudo-pointer" case and apply layout information from an interface type over to the payload part when static specialization was used.
* Changed some details of how witness tables were being lowered, so that we didn't have to create "proxy" witness tables for the constraints on associated types (just use the actual requirement entries we generate)
* Changed witness tables so that they know the subtype doing the conforming
* Added logic so that we don't generate pack/unpack logic and witness table wrapper functions for types that are incompatible with any-value/dynamic dispatch for a given interface.
* Changed the core AST-level type layout logic to use the dynamic-dispatch layout in case things fit, and the legacy static specialization case when things don't (while also reserving space for the dynamic-dispatch fields)
* Changed a bunch of test cases for static specialization to properly use the new layout (which introduces new buffers in some cases, and moves data around in others).
Future Work
===========
The experience of trying to reconcile our older way of handling interface-type specialization with our newer model (that supports dynamic dispatch) makes it clear that we really need to make similar changes to our handling of generic type parameters on entry points and at the global scope.
A future change should make it so that a global type parameter is lowered with a type layout similar to a value parameter of interface type, including the RTTI and witness-table pieces, and just leaving out the "any value" piece. A similar translation strategy should apply to entry-point generic parameters (mirroring how we lower generic functions for dynamic dispatch already), and value specialization parameters.
