Crafter.Graphics has to ship each of its compute shaders in two builds
of one source: one that indexes VK_EXT_descriptor_heap and one that
reads the same slots from a descriptor set, for drivers without the
extension. A Shader was a path, an entry point and a stage, and its
output name was derived from the path alone, so one source could only
be compiled once.
Shader gains `defines`, spelled like the compiler's -D ("NAME" is
defined to 1, "NAME=VALUE" to VALUE) and handed to glslang as a
preamble, and `variant`, which names the output: "ui.comp.glsl" with
variant "sets" becomes "ui.comp.sets.spv". OutputName() is the one
place that name is formed; Check, Compile and the forwarding of a
dependency's shaders into the consumer's bin dir all use it.
Two fields make one mistake easy: defines set, variant forgotten. Both
entries then compiled in parallel into the same file, the build
reported success with whichever finished last, and Check() called both
up to date from then on. The same has always been true of a.vert next
to a.frag. Build() now refuses a configuration in which two entries
share an output name and says which.
A define without a name, or one spanning lines, and a variant with a
path separator are rejected by name. Left to glslang the first two
surface as "-1:<line>" with no file, and the last as a failed open
after the whole compile.
Not addressed: Check() still compares only the source's mtime, so a
change to the defines, or to an included file, does not recompile
(#35).
