[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 6/9] glsl: Find the "closest" signature when there are multiple matches.

[Kenneth Graunke]

Previously, ir_function::matching_signature had a fatal bug: if a
function had more than one non-exact match, it would simply return NULL.

This occured, for example, when looking for max(uvec3, uvec3):
- max(vec3, vec3)   -> score 1 (found first)
- max(ivec3, ivec3) -> score 1 (found second...used to return NULL here)
- max(uvec3, uvec3) -> score 0 (exact match...the right answer)

This did not occur for max(ivec3, ivec3) since the second match found
was an exact match.

The new behavior is to return a match with the lowest score.  If there
is an exact match, that will be returned.  Otherwise, a match with the
least number of implicit conversions is chosen.

Fixes piglit test max-uvec3.vert.
