Because these classes are used entirely from their own source files
and not from separate DSOs, the linker gets to produce massively less
code. This cuts about 13k of text in the libdricore case. In the
non-libdricore case, the additional linkage information allows the
compiler to inline some code, so libglsl.a size actually increases by
about 300 bytes.
For a dricore build, improves shader_runner runtime on
glsl-fs-copy-propagation-texcoords-1 by 0.21% +/- 0.03% (n=353574,
outliers removed). No statistically significant difference with n=322
on glslparsertest on a yofrankie shader intended to test compiler
performance.

The vector operator collects 2, 3, or 4 scalar components into a
vector. Doing this has several advantages. First, it will make
ud-chain tracking for components of vectors much easier. Second, a
later optimization pass could collect scalars into vectors to allow
generation of SWZ instructions (or similar as operands to other
instructions on R200 and i915). It also enables an easy way to
generate IR for SWZ instructions in the ARB_vertex_program assembler.
