ac: only load used channels when sampling buffer views

This allows to reduce the number of dwords that are loaded
with buffer_load_format_xyzw. For example, when the only used
channel is 1, the driver will emit buffer_load_format_x instead.

Shader stats for DOW3 (with some local hacky scripts for SPIRV):

143 shaders in 143 tests
Totals:
SGPRS: 5344 -> 5352 (0.15 %)
VGPRS: 3476 -> 3452 (-0.69 %)
Spilled SGPRs: 30 -> 29 (-3.33 %)
Spilled VGPRs: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %)
Private memory VGPRs: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %)
Scratch size: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %) dwords per thread
Code Size: 269860 -> 269808 (-0.02 %) bytes
LDS: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %) blocks
Max Waves: 1267 -> 1272 (0.39 %)
Wait states: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %)
