Alyssa Rosenzweig e749f67f89 mesa,gallium: Make point coord origin a CAP
When lower_wpos_pntc is used, the state tracker inserts code to
transform gl_PointCoord.y according to a uniform, to account for
API-requested point coordinate origin and framebuffer orientation. With
the transformation, driver-supplied point coordinates are expected to
have an upper left origin.

If the hardware point coordinate supports (only) a lower left origin,
the backend has to use lower_wpos_pntc and then lower *again* to flip
back. This ends up transforming twice, which is wasteful:

   a = load point coord Y with lower left origin
   a' = 1.0 - a
   a'' = uniform_transform(a')

However, lower_wpos_pntc is quite capable of transforming for a lower
left origin too, it just needs to flip the transformation. Add a CAP
specifying the point coordinate origin convention, rather than assuming
upper-left. This simplifies the Asahi code greatly.
