The current TPF validator enforces that for each register involved
in a DCL_INDEX_RANGE instruction there must be a signature element
for that register and the DCL_INDEX_RANGE write mask. This is an
excessively strong request, and causes some shaders from The Falconeer
to be invalidly rejected.
The excessively strong check was needed to avoid triggering a bug
in the I/O normaliser. Since that bug is now solved, the check
can be relaxed.
Since this test depend on the specific code generated by the
native d3dcompiler we add the possibility to specify a "raw"
shader using a hex format. When the shader assembler is finally
available they should be replaced with assembly code.
This is simply unnecessary and wastes time.
As part of this, simply remove the "all" directive. Only for a couple of tests
is it even potentially interesting to validate all pixels (e.g.
nointerpolation.shader_test), and for those "all" is replaced with an explicit
(0, 0, 640, 480) rect.
In all other cases we just probe (0, 0).
