i965/vs: Split final assembly code generation out of vec4_visitor.
Compiling shaders requires several main steps:
1. Generating VS IR from either GLSL IR or Mesa IR
2. Optimizing the IR
3. Register allocation
4. Generating assembly code
This patch splits out step 4 into a separate class named "vec4_generator."
There are several reasons for doing so:
1. Future hardware has a different instruction encoding. Splitting
this out will allow us to replace vec4_generator (which relies
heavily on the brw_eu_emit.c code and struct brw_instruction) with
a new code generator that writes the new format.
2. It reduces the size of the vec4_visitor monolith. (Arguably, a lot
more should be split out, but that's left for "future work.")
3. Separate namespaces allow us to make helper functions for
generating instructions in both classes: ADD() can exist in
vec4_visitor and create IR, while ADD() in vec4_generator() can
create brw_instructions. (Patches for this upcoming.)
