When NIR was originally drafted, there was no easy way to determine if
something was constant or not. The result was that we had lots of
special-casing for constant values such as this. Now that load_const
instructions are SSA-only, it's really easy to find constants and this
isn't really needed anymore.

This commit adds the capability to NIR to support separate textures and
samplers. As it currently stands, glsl_to_nir only sets the texture deref
and leaves the sampler deref alone as it did before and nir_lower_samplers
assumes this. Backends can still assume that they are combined and only
look at only at the texture index. Or, if they wish, they can assume that
they are separate because nir_lower_samplers, tgsi_to_nir, and prog_to_nir
all set both texture and sampler index whenever a sampler is required (the
two indices are the same in this case).

We're about to separate the two concepts. When we do, the sampler will
become optional. Doing a rename first makes the separation a bit more
safe because drivers that depend on GLSL or TGSI behaviour will be fine to
just use the texture index all the time.
