The current texture cache has several points that hurt maintainability
and performance. It's easy to break unrelated parts of the cache
when doing minor changes. The cache can easily forget valuable
information about the cached textures by CPU writes or simply by its
normal usage.The current texture cache has several points that hurt

This commit aims to address those issues.
Games using D3D idioms can join images and samplers when a shader
executes, instead of baking them into a combined sampler image. This is
also possible on Vulkan.
One approach to this solution would be to use separate samplers on
Vulkan and leave this unimplemented on OpenGL, but we can't do this
because there's no consistent way of determining which constant buffer
holds a sampler and which one an image. We could in theory find the
first bit and if it's in the TIC area, it's an image; but this falls
apart when an image or sampler handle use an index of zero.
The used approach is to track for a LOP.OR operation (this is done at an
IR level, not at an ISA level), track again the constant buffers used as
source and store this pair. Then, outside of shader execution, join
the sample and image pair with a bitwise or operation.
This approach won't work on games that truly use separate samplers in a
meaningful way. For example, pooling textures in a 2D array and
determining at runtime what sampler to use.
This invalidates OpenGL's disk shader cache :)

Removes a few unnecessary dependencies on core-related machinery, such
as the core.h and memory.h, which reduces the amount of rebuilding
necessary if those files change.
This also uncovered some indirect dependencies within other source
files. This also fixes those.
When I originally added the compute assert I used the wrong
documentation. This addresses that.
The dispatch register was tested with homebrew against hardware and is
triggered by some games (e.g. Super Mario Odyssey). What exactly is
missing to get a valid program bound by this engine requires more
investigation.
