This is distinct from ISL_AUX_USAGE_HIZ_CCS in that the HiZ surface
operates in write-through mode which means that the HiZ surface is only
used for depth-testing acceleration and the CCS-compressed main surface
is always valid so we can texture from it.
Separating full HiZ from write-through mode at the isl_aux_usage level
has a couple of advantages:
1. It's more explicit. Instead of write-through mode depending on the
heuristic decision in isl_surf_supports_hiz_ccs_wt, it's now
something that's explicitly requested by the driver. This should be
more robust than hoping isl_surf_supports_hiz_ccs_wt always returns
the same thing every time. If someone (say BLORP) ever drops a
usage flag on the isl_surf, there's a chance it could return a
different value without us noticing leading to corruptions.
2. Because ISL_AUX_USAGE_HIZ_CCS_WT is it's own isl_aux_usage flag, we
can say inside the driver that HIZ_CCS does not support sampling but
HIZ_CCS_WT does. We can also pass HIZ_CCS_WT to isl_surf_fill_state
and it can do some validation for us beyond what we would be able to
do if we conflate HIZ_CCS_WT and CCS_E.
3. In the future, we can add new heuristics to the driver which do
things such as start all depth surfaces (regardless of usage flags)
off in HIZ_CCS and then do a full resolve and drop to HIZ_CCS_WT the
first time it gets used by the sampler. This would potentially let
us enable the faster HIZ_CCS mode even in cases where it technically
comes in through the API as a texture.
