This way we don't end up with artifacts of the EFB's alpha values in
frame dumps. XFB copies loaded from RAM also set the alpha to 1, so this
will match.
Using 8-bit integer math here lead to precision loss for depth copies,
which broke various effects in games, e.g. lens flare in MK:DD.
It's unlikely the console implements this as a floating-point multiply
(fixed-point perhaps), but since we have the float round trip in our
EFB2RAM shaders anyway, it's not going to make things any worse. If we
do rewrite our shaders to use integer math completely, then it might be
worth switching this conversion back to integers.
However, the range of the values (format) should be known, or we should
expand all values out to 24-bits first.
Also makes y_scale a dynamic parameter for EFB copies, as it doesn't
make sense to keep it as part of the uid, otherwise we're generating
redundant shaders.
GLES doesn't support C-style array initialisers, so stuff like:
Type var[2] = {
VALUE_A,
VALUE_B
};
isn't supported in GLES (it was added in
GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack).
The texture conversion shader used this, so would fail to compile on
GLES.
This fixes the rendering of the scan visor in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes,

The alpha channel was off-by-one on Ivy Bridge due to the rounding
after multiplication with colmat. This commit removes this matrix
altogether in most cases, making them simple GLSL swizzles.
This will generate one shader per copy format. For now, it is the same
shader with the colmat hard coded. So it should already improve the GPU
performance a bit, but a rewrite of the shader generator is suggested.
Half of the patch is done by linkmauve1:
VideoCommon: Reorganise the shader writes.
