We support all of the decorations that have meaning in the given context.
However, sometimes glslang will throw on a pointless decoration we don't
need.  Sometimes hitting that means there's a bug (hence the warning) but
sometimes it means we're getting a junk decoration.  Ultimately, we should
probably have every possible decoration in the switch with most of them
going nowhere; I just haven't bothered to do a full audit of everything.
