glsl: Convert mix() to use a new ir_triop_lrp opcode.

Many GPUs have an instruction to do linear interpolation which is more
efficient than simply performing the algebra necessary (two multiplies,
an add, and a subtract).

Pattern matching or peepholing this is more desirable, but can be
tricky.  By using an opcode, we can at least make shaders which use the
mix() built-in get the more efficient behavior.

Currently, all consumers lower ir_triop_lrp.  Subsequent patches will
actually generate different code.

v2 [mattst88]:
   - Add LRP_TO_ARITH flag to ir_to_mesa.cpp. Will be removed in a
     subsequent patch and ir_triop_lrp translated directly.
v3 [mattst88]:
   - Move changes from the next patch to opt_algebraic.cpp to accept
     3-src operations.
