This will let us remove some of the uniform data management code in
the GL front-end, and simplify the GL back-end. It will also enable
us to implement uniform data more efficiently in the D3D11 back-end,
and probably Vulkan back-end later.
This also implements a new impl method for the ProgramGL class to
flag optimized-out uniforms as no longer used, post-link. This is
important because otherwise the optimized uniforms get assigned
valid locations, and then the getUniform calls are expected to
succeed.
We also use a workaround for uniform value queries for the GL
back-end. It seems as though some drivers (seen on NVIDIA and AMD)
may not properly clamp to the maximum representable integer value
when querying out-of-range floating point values. Work around this by
always calling the driver with the proper type and then casting the
value in ANGLE.
