First off, they're already in src/compiler, not src/compiler/glsl.

Could/should we rename them?  I'm fine with that and, honestly, the only
reason I haven't yet is because it's a pile of work and because I've not
been able to come up with a better name than `glsl_type` that sounds
generic to all compiler things.  We could go `nir_type`, I guess but that's
already kind-of taken by NIR ALU types.  Then again, those could be renamed
too.  I'm kind-of meh on it.
