Having to explicitly dereference is irritating and bloats the code,
when the compiler can detect and do the right thing.
v2: Use a little shim class to produce the automatic dereference
generation at compile time as opposed to runtime, while also
allowing compile-time type checking.

The C++ constructors with placement new, while functional, are
extremely verbose, leading to generation of simple GLSL IR expressions
like (a * b + c * d) expanding to many lines of code and using lots of
temporary variables. By creating a new ir_builder.h that puts simple
generators in our namespace and taking advantage of ralloc_parent(),
we can generate much more compact code, at a minor runtime cost.
v2: Replace ir_instruction usage with just ir_rvalue.
v3: Drop remaining missed as_rvalue() in v2.
