Robert Bragg d87522596d material-arbfp: Another pass at simplifying the code
Previously the backend private state was used to either link to an
authority material or provide authoritative program state. The mechanism
seemed overly complex and felt very fragile. I made a recent comment
which added a lot of documentation to make it easier to understand but
still it didn't feel very elegant.

This patch takes a slightly different approach; we now have a
ref-counted ArbfpProgramState object which encapsulates a single ARBfp
program and the backend private state now just has a single member which
is a pointer to one of these arbfp_program_state objects. We no longer
need to cache pointers to our arbfp-authority and so we can get rid of
a lot of awkward code that ensured these pointers were
updated/invalidated at the right times. The program state objects are
not tightly bound to a material so it will also allow us to later
implement a cache mechanism that lets us share state outside a materials
ancestry. This may help to optimize code not following the
recommendations of deriving materials from templates, avoiding one-shot
materials and not repeatedly modifying materials because even if a
material's ancestry doesn't naturally lead us to shareable state we can
fallback to searching for shareable state using central hash tables.
