Use bool from UBO as if-statement condition

The attached shader causes the following assertion failure:

shader_runner: brw_vec4_visitor.cpp:856: void brw::vec4_visitor::emit_bool_to_cond_code(ir_rvalue*, brw_predicate*): Assertion `!"not reached"' failed.

I have only tested on a fairly stale version of my gles3conform-v5 branch, so this issue may not exist in 10.3 or master branches.  If I don't submit a bug, I'll forget about it...

Changing the line

    if (b1)

to

    if (b1 == true)

causes it to not assert.

Yeah, we need to handle ir_unop_ubo_load in that switch statement.  In both backends.

Whoops, that FS test had the wrong result.  Here's a better one.

The last one should fix it.  It may or may not depend on the second.  The first is just a bug fix while I was in the area :)

    i965: Handle ir_binop_ubo_load in boolean expression code.
    
    UBO loads can be boolean-valued expressions, too, so we need to handle
    them in emit_bool_to_cond_code() and emit_if_gen6().
    
    However, unlike most expressions, it doesn't make sense to evaluate
    their operands, then do something with the results.  We just want to
    evaluate the UBO load as a whole---which performs the read from
    memory---then load the boolean result into the flag register.
    
    Instead of adding code to handle it, we can simply bypass the
    ir_expression handling, and fall through to the default code, which will
    do exactly that.
