Currently it's hardcoded in the shader, so every change requires
compilation of the shader variant, killing the performance
in Serious Sam 3 and probably other apps.
This patch passes alpha_ref in the user sgpr and removes it from
the shader key.

I presume this causes no regressions with piglit quick.tests.
Yes, there are no regressions with piglit. Thanks for reviewing.
By the way, I'm also not sure if this is the right way of doing it,
especially if we'll need to pass more parameters for any new features.
Possibly some other ways could be more preferable, e.g. to put it with
any other data that we may need in the future into internal const
buffer (like we do in r600g for clip planes etc), or maybe there are
other ways on SI that I'm not aware of yet?
That strongly depends on how often we use a parameter. The docs speak of
a penalty associated with loading each SGPR so we should try to use as
less as possible, but loading something from constant space is also
costly without proper support for the constant IB.
