[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 02/10] spirv: Make VertexIndex and VertexId both non-zero-based

GLSL has gl_VertexID which is supposed to be non-zero-based.

SPIR-V has both VertexIndex and VertexId builtins whose meanings are
defined by the APIs.

Vulkan defines VertexIndex as being non-zero-based. I can’t find
any mention of what VertexId is supposed to be.

GL_ARB_spirv removes VertexIndex and defines VertexId to be the same
as gl_VertexId (which is alo non-zero-based).

Previously in Mesa it was treating VertexIndex as non-zero-based and
VertexId as zero-based, so it was breaking for GL. This behaviour was
apparently based on Khronos bug 14255. However that bug doesn’t seem
to have made a final decision for VertexId.

Assuming there really is no other definition for VertexId for Vulkan
it seems better to just make them both have the same
value.
