This happens to work now because ir_binop_all_equal is used.  This
causes vector typed init-expressions to produce scalar Boolean values
after comparison.

The next commit changes ir_binop_all_equal to ir_binop_equal.  Vector
typed init-expressions will then produce vector Boolean values, and, in
debug builds, the ir_assignment constructor will fail an assertion.

There were a number of flaws in the original series that went undetected
until recently.  One flaw, noted below, is fatal.  I had been testing
the series using our CI and shader-db.  The problems went undetected for
several reasons.  On the shader-db runs, I was using release builds that
omitted assertions.  At least one of the failures would have tri

The first failure was in changing ir_binop_all_equal to ir_binop_equal.
The code previously relied on ir_binop_all_equal accepting mixed scalar
and vector operands so that cases like

    switch (ivec2(a, b)) {
    case 0:
        break;
    }

would continue to compile.  An error would be emitted in the switch
init-statement, but the compiler would carry on trying to find more
errors.  That problem is addressed in this patch.  Once the error in the
switch init-statement is detected, halt compilation.

The second flaw was that if-to-conditional-assign did not respect the
write-mask of the assignment.  This would result in things like

    if (cond)
        foo.wz = bar;

being transformed to 'foo.wz = csel(cond.xx, bar, foo)'.  This was solved by
converting the write mask to a swizzle on the LHS when used in the
conditional-select.

The third flaw was that several of the patches that replace conditions
with conditional-select "forgot" that conditional-select is
per-component, so the vector size of the condition has to match the
vector size of the operands.

This last flaw led to the discovery of the fatal problem: ir_triop_csel
only works on scalar and vector operands.  Statements like:

    struct S s1;
    struct S s2;

    ...

    if (cond)
        s1 = s2;

cannot be translated directly to a conditional-select.  Arrays and
matrices have the same problem.  There are some possible solutions, but
I'm not going to have time to tackle any of them right now.

Assuming this patch meets with positive review, I intend to push a
reduced series of the subset listed below.  Aside from the ordering
change and the removal of 8 patches, the only change in the series is
the addition of this patch.  None of the older patches are modified.
This is still a nice clean up and a net removal of 56 lines of code.
It's not the payoff I wanted, but I guess it's better than nothing.
