Work on #1059
The `%` operator in the Slang implementation had several issues, and this change tries to address some of them:
* Renamed most occurences of "mod" describing this operator to be "rem" for "remainder" to better match its semantics in HLSL
* Split the operator into distinct integer and floating-point variants (`IRem` and `FRem`) to simplify having different codegen for the two
* Added floating-point variants of `operator%` and `operator%=` to the stdlib.
* Added custom C++ codegen for `kIROp_FRem` such that it maps to the standard C/C++ `remainder()` function
* Added custom GLSL codegen so that `kIROp_FRem` maps to the GLSL `mod()` function (which isn't correct...)
* Added a test case to confirm that D3D11, D3D12, and CPU targets all agree on the definition of floating-point `%`
* Fixed `render-test-tool` to allow a negative integer in a `data=...` specification. This didn't end up being used in the final test, but still seems like a good fix.
* Added a customized baseline for the Vulkan flavor of that test to confirm that we are *not* compiling correctly to SPIR-V just yet
Addressing the correctness of the output for GLSL/SPIR-V will have to come as a later change given that the operation we want is not exposed directly by unextended GLSL.

* Revise new COM-lite API
This change revises the "COM-lite" API that was recently introduced to try to streamline it and introduce some missing central/base concepts.
The central new abstraction in the API is the notion of a "component type," which is a unit of shader code composition. A component type can have:
* IR code for some number of functions/types/etc.
* Zero or more global shader parameters
* Zero or more "entry point" functions at which execution can start
* Zero or more "specialization" parameters (types or values that must be filled in before kernel code can be generated)
* Zero or more "requirements" (dependencies on other component types that must be satisfied before kernel code can be generated)
Both individual compiled modules, and validated entry points are then examples of component types, and we additionally define a few services that apply to all component types:
* We can take N component types and compose them to create a new component type that combines their code, shader parameters, entry points, and specialization parameters. A composed component type may also include requirements from the sub-component types, but it is also possible that by composing thing we satisfy requirements (if `A` requires `B`, and we compose `A` and `B`, then the requirement is now satisfied, and doesn't appear on the composite).
* We can take a component type with N specialization parameters, and specialize it by giving N compatible specialization arguments. The result of specialization is a new component type with zero specialization parameters. Under the right circumstances the specialzed component type will be layout compatible with the unspecialized one.
* One more example that isn't exposed in the public API today is that we can take a component with requirements and "complete" it by automatically composing it with component types that satisfy those requirements. This can be seen as a kind of linking step that pulls together the transitive closure of dependencies.
* We can query the layout for the shader parameters and entry points of a component type, for a specific target.
* We can query compiled kernel code for an entry point in a component type (for a specific target). This only works for component types with zero specialization parameters and zero requirements.
The idea is that by giving users a fairly general algebra of operations on component types, they can compose final programs in ways that meet their requirements. For example, it becomes possible to incrementally "grow" a component type to represent the global root signature for ray tracing shaders as new entry points are added, in such a way that it always stays layout-compatible with kernels that have already been compiled.
Much of the implementation work here is in implementing the unifying component type abstraction, and in particular re-writing code that used to assume a program consisted of a flat list of modules and entry points to work with a hierarchical representation that reflects the underlying algebra (e.g., with types to represent composite and specialized component types).
There's also a hidden "legacy" case of a component type to deal with some legacy compiler behaviors that can't be directly modeled on top of the simple algebra with modules and entry points.
This API is by no means feature-complete or fully developed. It is expected that we will flesh it out more when bringing up application code (e.g., Falcor) on top of the revamped API.
One notable thing that went away in this change is explicit support for "entry point groups" and notions of local root signatures (especially the Falcor-specific handling of the `shared` keyword, which a previous change turned into an explicitly supported feature). With the new "building blocks" approach, it should be possible for a DXR application to deal with local root signatures as a matter of policy (on top of the API we provide). If/when we need to provide some kind of emulation of local root signatures for Vulkan (and/or if Vulkan is extended with an explicit notion of local root signatures), we might need to revisit this choice.
* Fix debug build
There was invalid code inside an `assert()`, so the release build didn't catch it.
* fixup: warnings
* fixup: more warnings-as-errors
* fixup: review notes
* fixup: use component type visitors in place of dynamic casting

This change adds back a little bit of explicit support for global constants in the IR, after a previous change completely removed the existing `IRGlobalConstant` node type.
The new `IRGlobalConstant` is *not* a parent instruction, and doesn't function at all like the old one.
Instead it is effectively a simple instruction that takes zero or one operands:
* The zero-operand case represents a constant with unknown value. This would usually come from another module, and thus would have an `[import(...)]` linkage decoration, so that after linking it resolves to a constant with a known value.
* In the one-operand case, the single operand represents the value of the constant, so that the operation semantically behaves like an identity function. It exists just to give decorations something to "attach" to, so that a global constant with a value can have, e.g., an `[export(...)]` decoration to establish linkage.
The IR lowering pass was updated to create the new node type to wrap any global constants. For now we do this both for global `static const` variables and function-scope `static const`, although the latter doesn't really need the extra indirection.
The IR linking logic was extended to handle linking of global constants akin to how other global instructions are handled. The new logic is mostly boilerplate, and it is likely that a refactor of the linking logic would eliminate the need for this kind of per-instruction-opcode handling of IR instructions that can have linkage.
A custom pass was added that is intended to be run right after linking (it could arguably be folded into `linkIR()`, but I thought it was safer to keep each pass as small as possible). This pass replaces any `IRGlobalConstant` that has a value (operand) with that value, so that global constants should be eliminated after the linking step. This ensures that downstream optimization/transformation passes don't have to deal with the possibility of global constants.
Almost all the existing passes would Just Work if global constants were left in the IR. The two big exceptions are:
* Anything that relies on testing `IRInst*` identity as a way to test for things having the same value would break, since a global constant is a distinct `IRInst*` from its value.
* The type legalization pass doesn't handle `IRGlobalConstant` instructions with non-simple types. This could be added if we ever wanted it, but it seemed silly to write this code now if it would always be dead (and thus untested).
I went ahead and updated the emit logic to handle an `IRGlobalConstant`s that still existing in the IR module at emit time, since the amount of code required was small so that being robust to that case seemed safest (e.g., in case we ever want to have a path that emits code directly while skipping some/all of our IR transformation passes).
There should be no visible changes to the functionality of the compiler with this change, but it should help make IR dumps from the front-end more clear/explicit (since each constant will be a distinct instruction with its own name), and paves the way for supporting proper cross-module linkage of constants.

Before this change, global and function-scope `static const` declarations were represented as instructions of type `IRGlobalConstant`, which was represented similarly to an `IRGlobalVar`: with a "body" block of instructions that compute/return the initial value.
This representation inhibited optimizations (because a reference to a global constant would not in general be replaced with a reference to its value), and also caused problems for resource type legalization because the logic for type legalization did not (and still does not) handle initializers on globals (so global *variables* that contain resource types are still unsupported).
The change here is simple at the high level: we get rid of `IRGlobalConstant` and instead handle global-scope constants as "ordinary" instructions at the global scope. E.g., if we have a declaration like:
static const int a[] = { ... }
that will be represented in the IR as a `makeArray` instruction at the global scope, referencing other global-scope instructions that represent the values in the array.
This simple choice addresses both of the main limitations. A `static const` variable of integer/float/whatever type is now represented as just a reference to the given IR value and thus enables all the same optimizations. When a `static const` variable uses a type with resources, the existing legalization logic (which can handle most of the "ordinary" instructions already) applies.
Another secondary benefit of this approach is that the hacky `IREmitMode` enumeration is no longer needed to help us special-case source code emit for `static const` variables.
Beyond just removing `IRGlobalConstant`, and updating the lowering logic to use the initializer direclty, the main change here is to the emit logic to make it properly handle "ordinary" instructions that might appear at global scope.
One open issue with this change, that could be addressed in a follow-up change, is that "extern" global constants that need to be imported from another module (but which might not have a known value when the current module is compiled) aren't supported - we don't have a way to put a linkage decoration on them. A future change might re-introduce global constants as a distinct IR instruction type that just references the value as an operand (if it is available). We would then need to replace references to an IR constant with references to its value right after linking.
