i965: Stop setting LowerBuferInterfaceBlocks

Instead, we do UBO and SSBO deref lowering in NIR after we've given it a
chance to optimize SSBO access:

Shader-db results on Kaby Lake:

    LOST:   12

Most of the help and hurt in instruction counts was just churn caused by
re-ordering of optimizations and the fact that the NIR deref lowering
code is emitting slightly different instructions.  Nothing was hurt by
more than three instructions and most things weren't helped by more than
four.  The primary exception to this is one Car Chase shader:

    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/341.shader_test CS SIMD32: 1144 -> 821 (-28.23%)

There is also one compute shader in Manhattan 3.1 and a fragment shader
in the UE4 Shooter Game demo that now get a loop partially unrolled.
Those showed up in the results as hurt instructions but were manually
removed to get the results above.

The lost/gained was a dozen Car Chase shaders that went from SIMD8 to
SIMD16 thanks to improved register pressure:

    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/366.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/368.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/370.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/372.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/376.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/378.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/380.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/382.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/384.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/388.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/4.shader_test CS
    shaders/non-free/gfxbench4/carchase/6.shader_test CS

Given how much it appeared to be improved, I ran Car Chase on my laptop.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any measurable improvement.  It
might be helped by 1-2% but it's in the noise.  It does render correctly
as far as I can tell so the improvement is legitimate.

All of the loops that got delete were in dolphin uber shaders.  I've had
no opportunity to test them for correctness or performance.
