Yes, we may want to do that lowering in NIR and I've already written the
pass. It's lying around somewhere in my git tree. However, the only
producers of NIR that we currently have are GLSL IR which already has the
pass, and TGSI which already has the outputs-are-write-only restriction.
For now, I like this bit of validation as it keeps us from breaking other
passes that depend on this.
Do we want this in the end? Absoltuely! We do not want to deal with this
in nir_lower_variables. I tried to but it's an absolute pain. It's much
easier to just remove the copies.
