In many cases, we calculate an expression by generating a series of instructions. We'd either overwrite the same register repeatedly, or call vgrf(BRW_TYPE_X) repeatedly to allocate temporaries for each intermediate step. In many cases, we overwrote the same register simply because allocating and naming temporaries for each step was annoying. This commit adds new builder helpers that will allocate a temporary destination for you, using simple type interference: unary operations use the source type, and binary operations require a matching base type and return the largest of the two types. The helpers return the destination register, allowing us to write in an expression-tree style, chaining together builder operations to produce whole values. Sort of like nir_builder. We still optionally will write out the fs_inst pointer in case the caller wants to do things like set predicates or saturation.
