- Reserves 1 binding slot per array element for resource arrays matching -fspv-flatten-resource-arrays but without emitting separate SPIRV variables/bindings. - Adds CodeGenSPIRV tests covering the non optimized and -O3 cases.

My main confusion here is how the previous -fspv-flatten-resource-arrays flag was useful. The way the commit message for #2397 reads, it sounds like it's trying to solve this exact problem, but I don't see why flattening the arrays was necessary. Perhaps the concern was without individual variables, they might be consolidated to fill in the gaps? Is there anywhere that might happen?
The only way this is relevant to your change is if the actual solution is to remove the old behavior and replace it with this.

I hate to bikeshed over naming, but I don't think what this does can be described as flattening even though it shares some behavior with the flag that does.
Perhaps something like spv-dx-resource-array-binding? I'm open to other suggestions.

-fspv-flatten-resource-arrays is for when non uniform resource accesses are unsupported AFAIK, an OpSwitch with an array element per case is generated when a non compile time constant is used.
I think -fspv-dx-resource-array-binding would be less "obvious" though?
