Eric Anholt d0f8fe5909 softpipe: Switch to using NIR as the shader format from mesa/st.
This causes our TGSI to use far more temps, since NTT is currently not
releasing temps from registers.  On the other hand, this interpreter is
already spectacularly slow, and if we wanted to go fast we should probably
write a scalar NIR intrepeter.

For now, using NTT means that we test that codepath in preparation for
switching TGSI-consuming HW drivers over, so that we can eventually
garbage collect st_glsl_to_tgsi.

As this is a major restructuring, there are some impacts on piglit:

- Several tests start assert failing about 64-bit NIR registers for temp
  arrays not getting split to vec2s:
  - fs-frexp-dvec4-variable-index.shader_test
  - arb_gpu_shader_fp64/uniform_buffers/{vs,fs,gs}-array-copy.shader_test
  - arb_gpu_shader_int64/execution/indirect-array-two-accesses.shader_test
- dEQP-GLES31.functional.primitive_bounding_box.wide_points.global_state.vertex_geometry_fragment.fbo_bbox_larger
  starts crashing depending on various bits of state (previous tests run
  before it, presence of valgrind, presence of glib's memcheck).  Doesn't
  seem really NTT-specific, added to flakes list with other GS flakes.
- Almost 200 fp64/int64-related tests start passing, mostly around i/o loayout.

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.rst
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use
Meson (`docs/meson.rst <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_):

.. code-block:: sh

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ meson ..
  $ sudo ninja install


Support
-------

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `Freenode's #dri-devel
<irc://chat.freenode.net#dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your
question, check out `Who's Who on IRC
