[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 18/34] glsl: Properly pack GS output varyings

In geometry shaders, outputs are consumed at the time of a call to
EmitVertex() (as opposed to all other shader types, where outputs are
consumed when the shader exits).  Therefore, when packing geometry
shader output varyings using lower_packed_varyings, we need to do the
packing at the time of the EmitVertex() call.

This patch accomplishes that by adding a new visitor class,
lower_packed_varyings_gs_splicer, which is responsible for splicing
the varying packing code into place wherever EmitVertex() is found.
