This frees up 21 bits and allows us to shorten the UID struct by an entire
32 bits.
It's not strictly needed (as it's encoded into the length) but I added a
bit for per-pixel lighiting to make my life easier in the following
commits.
They were only called at once, so no need to seperate them.
This also removes the only dereference of the NativeVertexFormat in VideoCommon, so backends may just return nullptr.
This is good hygiene, and also happens to be required to build Dolphin
using Clang modules.
(Under this setup, each header file becomes a module, and each #include
is automatically translated to a module import. Recursive includes
still leak through (by default), but modules are compiled independently,
and can't depend on defines or types having previously been set up. The
main reason to retrofit it onto Dolphin is compilation performance - no
more textual includes whatsoever, rather than putting a few blessed
common headers into a PCH. Unfortunately, I found multiple Clang bugs
while trying to build Dolphin this way, so it's not ready yet, but I can
start with this prerequisite.)
We are used to have a 1:1 mapping of GX vertex formats and the native (OGL + D3D) ones, but there are by far more GX ones.
This new cache maps them directly so that we don't flush on GX vertex format changes as long as the native one doesn't change.
The idea is stolen from galop1n.
This "u32 components" is a list of flags which attributes of the vertex loader are present.
We are used to append this variable to lots of vertex generation functions, but some of them don't need it at all.
