* Add command-line control over SPIR-V version
By default the Slang compiler policy is usually to produce output with the fewest dependencies possible. If input code can be encoded as SPIR-V 1.0, that is what we will use by default. The catch here is that in some cases later SPIR-V versions introduced improvements to the encoding that can affect performance (e.g., around large global arrays of constants), so that a user might explicitly want to require a newer SPIR-V version (restricting the driver versions their code can work on) in the hopes of seeing better performance.
This change uses the system of capabilities that was previously introduced so that an option like `-profile glsl_450+spirv_1_5` can be used to explicitly request a specific SPIR-V version. Consistent with the existing implementation, the requested version will be taken as a minimum, and the final version might be higher based on other requirements (e.g., use of intrinsic functions that require a higher version).
The test case included here is a little iffy in terms of long-term maintanenace. It relies on having both a `.slang` file and a `.glsl` file that we compile with the same options and then compare the SPIR-V, but that means there is no direct testing that the output SPIR-V actually uses the necessary version. If we break the inference of SPIR-V versions for both the regular and pass-through paths at once, this test won't flag the problem. A better test is probably needed soon.
This change *only* adds support for controlling the SPIR-V version via capabilities specified via the command line or API. It would be nice to a future change to allow something like `[require(spirv_1_5)]` to be added to an entry point function to allow the user to embed their expectation/requirement into the source code.

* Fix premake5.lua so it uses the new path needed for OpenCLDebugInfo100.h
* Keep including the includes directory.
* Added the spirv-tools-generated files.
* We don't need to include the spirv/unified1 path because the files needed are actually in the spirv-tools-generated folder.
* Put the build_info.h glslang generated files in external/glslang-generated. Alter premake5.lua to pick up that header.
* First pass at documenting how to build glslang and spirv-tools.
* Improved glsl/spir-v tools README.md
* Added revision.h
* Change how gResources is calculated.
Update about revision.h
* Update docs a little.
* Split out spirv-tools into a separate project for building glslang. This was not necessary on linux, but *is* necessary on windows, because there is a file disassemble.cpp in spirv-tools and in glslang, and this leads to VS choosing only one. With the separate library, the problem is resolved.
* Fix direct-spirv-emit output.
* Update to latest version of spirv headers and spirv-tools.
* Upgrade submodule version of glslang in external.
* Add fPIC to build options of slang-spirv-tools
* Upgrade slang-binaries to have new glslang.
* Fix issues with Windows slang-glslang binaries, via update of slang-binaries used.
* Small improvements to glslang building process documentation.

* Initial work on direct emission of SPIR-V
This change adds a first vertical slice of support for emitting SPIR-V code directly from the Slang IR, instead of generating it indirectly via GLSL.
This work isn't usable for anything valuable right now; the goal is just to get something checked in that we can incrementally extend over time.
When invoking `slangc`, the `-emit-spirv-directly` option can be used to turn on the new code path.
I have not bothered to add an equivalent API option, because this flag is only intended to be used for testing in the immediate future.
The existing `emitEntryPoint()` function has become `emitEntryPointSource()` to more accurately reflect its role in a world where we can also emit entry points to a binary format.
Much of the logic that was inside `emitEntryPoint()` had to do with linking and then optimizing/transforming Slang IR code to get it ready for emission on a particular target.
This logic has been factored into a new `linkAndOptimizeIR()` function that can be shared between the path that emits source and the new one that emits SPIR-V.
The meat of the change is then the `emitSPIRVFromIR()` function in `slang-emit-spirv.cpp`, which is called *after* all the optimizations and transformations have been applied to the Slang IR to get it ready.
Rather than repeat myself here, I will try to make the comments in `slang-emit-spirv.cpp` usable as documentation of the approach being taken.
Smaller notes:
* I've included a test case that compares `slangc` output directly to expected SPIR-V. This is perhaps not an ideal plan for how to test SPIR-V emission going forward, but it suffices for now.
* The `external/` directory needed to be added to the include dirs for the `slang` project so that the new code can depend on the SPIR-V header.
* In `slang-ir-link`, the direct SPIR-V generation path means that we now link with a target of SPIR-V instead of GLSL. In principle this can be used to ensure that appropriate variants of intrinsics are selected based on the knowledge that we are emitting SPIR-V. In practice, that isn't being used at all.
* Fixup: path for SPIR-V headers
While working on this PR I used a copy of `spirv.h` that I placed into the repository tree manually, but since I started the work we ended up with SPIR-V headers in our tree anyway, albeit at a different path.
This change tries to fix things up so that my code uses the headers that were already placed in the repository.
* fixup; 64-bit build issue
* fixup: typo fixes based on review
