These are only ever used with ShaderCode instances and nothing else.
Given that, we can convert these helper functions to expect that type of
object as an argument and remove the need for templates, improving
compiler throughput a marginal amount, as the template instantiation
process doesn't need to be performed.
We can also move the definitions of these functions into the cpp file,
which allows us to remove a few inclusions from the ShaderGenCommon
header. This uncovered a few instances of indirect inclusions being
relied upon in other source files.
One other benefit is this allows changes to be made to the definitions
of the functions without needing to recompile all translation units that
make use of these functions, making change testing a little quicker.
Moving the definitions into the cpp file also allows us to completely
hide DefineOutputMember() from external view, given it's only ever used
inside of GenerateVSOutputMembers().
Migrates most of VideoCommon over to using fmt, with the exception being
the shader generator code. The shader generators are quite large and
have more corner cases to deal with in terms of conversion (shaders have
braces in them, so we need to make sure to escape them).
Because of the large amount of code that would need to be converted, the
conversion of VideoCommon will be in two parts:
- This change (which converts over the general case string formatting),
- A follow up change that will specifically deal with converting over
the shader generators.
