f81acbfe80 Implement unbound varibility for struct types.
Now, if a struct member has an explicit 'uniform' or 'varying'
qualifier, then that member has that variability, regardless of
the variability of the struct's variability.  Members without
'uniform' or 'varying' have unbound variability, and in turn
inherit the variability of the struct.

As a result of this, now structs can properly be 'varying' by default,
just like all the other types, while still having sensible semantics.

d2d5858be1 It is no longer legal to initialize arrays and structs with single
scalar values (that ispc used to smear across the array/struct
elements).  Now, initializers in variable declarations must be
{ }-delimited lists, with one element per struct member or array
element, respectively.

There were a few problems with the previous implementation of the
functionality to initialize from scalars.  First, the expression
would be evaluated once per value initialized, so if it had side-effects,
the wrong thing would happen.  Next, for large multidimensional arrays,
the generated code would be a long series of move instructions, rather
than loops (and this in turn made LLVM take a long time.)

While both of these problems are fixable, it's a non-trivial
amount of re-plumbing for a questionable feature anyway.

Fixes issue #50.
