* Rework command-line options handling for entry points and targets
Overview:
* The biggest functionality change is that the implicit ordering constraints when multiple `-entry` options are reversed: any `-stage` option affects the `-entry` to its *left* instead of to its *right* as it used to. This is technically a breaking change, but I expect most users aren't using this feature.
* The options parsing tries to handle profile versions and stages as distinct data (rather than using the combined `Profile` type all over), and treats a `-profile` option that specifies both a profile version and a stage (e.g., `-profile ps_5_0`) as if it were sugar for both a `-profile` and a `-stage` (e.g., `-profile sm_5_0 -stage fragment`).
* We now technically handle multiple `-target` options in one invocation of `-slangc`, but do not advertise that fact in the documentation because it might be confusing for users. Similar to the relationship between `-stage` and `-entry`, any `-profile` option affects the most recent `-target` option unless there is only one `-target`.
* The logic for associating `-o` options with corresponding entry points and targets has been beefed up. The rule is that a `-o` option for a compiled kernel binds to the entry point to its left, unless there is only one entry point (just like for `-stage`). The associated target for a `-o` option is found via a search, however, because otherwise it would be impossible to specify `-o` options for both SPIR-V and DXIL in one pass.
* The handling of output paths for entry points in the internal compiler structures was changed, because previously it could only handle one output path per entry point (even when there are multiple targets). The new logic builds up a per-target mapping from an entry point to its desired output path (if any).
Details:
* Support for formatting profile versions, stages, and compile targets (formats) was added to diagnostic printing, so that we can make better error messages. This is fairly ad hoc, and it would be nice to have all of the string<->enum stuff be more data-driven throughout the codebase.
* Test cases were added for (almost) all of the error conditions in the current options validation. The main one that is missing is around specifying an `-entry` option before any source file when compiling multiple files. This is because the test runner is putting the source file name first on the command line automatically, so we can't reproduce that case.
* Several reflection-related tests now reflect entry points where they didn't before, because the logic for detecting when to infer a default `main` entry point have been made more loose
* On the dxc path, beefed up the handling of mapping from Slang `Profile`s to the coresponding string to use when invoking dxc.
* A bunch of tests cases were in violation of the newly imposed rules, so those needed to be cleaned up.
* There were also a bunch of test cases that had accidentally gotten "disabled" at some point because there were comparing output from `slangc` both with and without a `-pass-through` option, but that meant that any errors in command-line parsing produced the *same* error output in both the Slang and pass-through cases. This change updates `slang-test` to always expect a successful run for these tests, and then manually updates or disables the various test cases that are affected.
* When merging the updated test for matrix layout mode, I found that the new command-line logic was failing to propagate a matrix layout mode passed to `render-test` into the compiler. This was because the `-matrix-layout*` options were implemented as per-target, but the target was being set by API while the option came in via command line (passed through the API). It seems like we want matrix layout mode to be a global option anyway (rather than per-target), so I made that change here.
* Add missing expected output files
* A 64-bit fix
* Remove commented-out code noted in review

* Add options to control matrix layout rules
Up to this point, the Slang compiler has assumed that the default matrix layout conventions for the target API will be used.
This means column-major layout for D3D, and *row major* layout for GL/Vulkan (note that while GL/Vulkan describe the default as "column major" there is an implicit swap of "row" and "column" when mapping HLSL conventions to GLSL).
This commit introduces two main changes:
1. The default layout convention is switched to column-major on all targets, to ensure that D3D and GL/Vulkan can easily be driven by the same application logic. I would prefer to make the default be row-major (because this is the "obvious" convention for matrices), but I don't want to deviate from the defaults in existing HLSL compilers.
2. Command-line and API options are introduced for setting the matrix layout convention to use (by default) for each code generation target. It is still possible for explicit qualifiers like `row_major` to change the layout from within shader code.
I also added an API to query the matrix layout convention that was used for a type layout (which should be of the `SLANG_TYPE_KIND_MATRIX` kind), but this isn't yet exercised.
I added a reflection test case to make sure that the offsets/sizes we compute for matrix-type fields are appropriately modified by the flag that gets passed in.
In a future change we could possibly switch the default convention to row-major, if we also changed our testing to match, since there are currently not many clients to be adversely impacted by the change.
* Fixup: silence 64-bit build warning
