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.
NV_shader_buffer_{load,store} is a 2010 extension that allows GL applications
to use what in Vulkan is known as physical pointers, this is basically C
pointers. On GLASM these is exposed through the LOAD/STORE/ATOM
instructions.
Up until now, assembly shaders were using NV_shader_storage_buffer_object.
These work fine, but have a (probably unintended) limitation that forces
us to have the limit of a single stage for all shader stages. In contrast,
with NV_shader_buffer_{load,store} we can pass GPU addresses to the
shader through local parameters (GLASM equivalent uniform constants, or
push constants on Vulkan). Local parameters have the advantage of being
per stage, allowing us to generate code without worrying about binding
overlaps.
Making the stream buffer resident increases GPU usage significantly on
some games. This seems to be addressed invalidating the stream buffer
with InvalidateBufferData instead of using a Unmap + Map (with
invalidation flags).
Make stream buffer and cached buffers as resident and query their
address. This allows us to use GPU addresses for several proprietary
Nvidia extensions.
Instead of using as template argument a shared pointer, use the
underlying type and manage shared pointers explicitly. This can make
removing shared pointers from the cache more easy.
While we are at it, make some misc style changes and general
improvements (like insert_or_assign instead of operator[] + operator=).
This was very likely intended to be a logical OR based off the
conditioning and testing of inversion in one case.
Even if this was intentional, this is the kind of non-obvious thing one
should be clarifying with a comment.
- Fixed all warnings, for renderer_opengl items, which were indicating a
possible incorrect behavior from integral promotion rules and types
larger than those in which arithmetic is typically performed.
- Added const for variables where possible and meaningful.
- Added constexpr where possible.
Namespaces all OpenGL code under the OpenGL namespace.
Prevents polluting the global namespace and allows clear distinction
between other renderers' code in the future.
