Triang3l ca34a022a5 [Build] Replace spirv-remap with spirv-opt --canonicalize-ids
`spirv-remap` is not present in modern Vulkan SDK versions, it was replaced
with the `--canonicalize-ids` pass in `spirv-opt`.

Overall, canonicalization provides a significant compression improvement,
which is important considering that currently Xenia is distributed in a ZIP
archive and contains many very similar shaders.

With normal DEFLATE compression, canonicalization reduced the size of a ZIP
with `xenia.exe` from 3.54 MB to 3.45 MB in a test done before committing.

Also disable stripping of debug information from shaders, which apparently
was among what `spirv-remap` was doing with `--do-everything`, as binding
and uniform buffer member names heavily aid in debugging in RenderDoc.

Partially integrated from #2329.

Building

See building.md for setup and information about the xb script. When writing code, check the style guide and be sure to run clang-format!

Contributors Wanted!

Have some spare time, know advanced C++, and want to write an emulator? Contribute! There's a ton of work that needs to be done, a lot of which is wide open greenfield fun.

For general rules and guidelines please see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Fixes and optimizations are always welcome (please!), but in addition to that there are some major work areas still untouched:
