The main goal of this patch is to improve the readability of how and
what fragment shaders are generated.
Instead of having C code that assembles each shader variant from literal
string snippets, create one big fragment shader source that has
everything in it. This relies on a GLSL compiler to optimize statically
false conditions and unused uniforms away.
Having all the fragment shader code in one file, uncluttered by C string
literal syntax, improves readability significantly. A disadvantage is
that the code is more verbose, but it allows comments much better.
The actual shader code is kept unchanged except:
- FRAGMENT_CONVERT_YUV macro is now a proper function
- GLSL version is explicitly set to 1.00 ES
- RGBA and EXTERNAL use the same path, the difference is how the sampler
is declared
Further shader code consolidation is possible, but is left for another
time.

This patch adds the tooling for incorporating files as C data, so that
files can be built into the binaries. The tool is in Python to avoid
adding extra dependencies like xxd.
xxd.py is copied from Mesa as-is, from commit
b729cd58d76f97f3fc04a67569535ee5ef2f5278 (master branch on 2021-01-26),
a.k.a 21.0-branchpoint-635-gb729cd58d76.
Moving the GLSL vertex shader into a separate file is not that
interesting, the purpose of this commit is to provide a simple
demonstration of the tooling. The real benefits come in a following
patch where the fragment shaders are re-written and externalized.

This is purely moving code as is with no changes other than making the
three functions non-static.
Originally this was part of "gl-renderer: Requirement based shader
generation" by Harish Krupo, but that patch made also big changes to the
code at the same time. Patches are easier to review when code movement
is separate from behavioral changes, therefore I introduced this patch.
