Alyssa Rosenzweig 3fedf22b60 pan/bi: Tune lower_vars_to_scratch
Increase the threshold to lower indirect indexing of arrays to scratch memory
all the way up to 256 bytes, which was the lowest power-of-two threshold for
which enabling the pass on Mali-G57 was a win in shaderdb.

It's difficult to tell what threshold is optimal here. The shader-db stats are
based on a rough cycle model that assumes a 16:1 ratio between CVT and
load/store on Valhall, and a 24:1 ratio between arithmetic and load/store on
Bifrost. Those ratios are at most rules of thumb, as the number of cycles
required by a load/store instruction will vary tremendously based on caching and
the memory controller. However, they may well be lower bounds (if those are the
upper bounds on instruction issuing in the Mali shader cores). As such, a large
threshold seems well motivated.

shader-db results on Mali-G52 follow, results on Mali-G57 were similar. Note the
shader that's hurt for spills/fills is *helped* for load/store overall.
