Matrix of the form matCx2 not getting translated properly when in a uniform buffer

[teoxoy]

WGSL expects a matCx2 to have a matrix stride of 8 (inner vector components to be aligned to 8 bytes including itself).
SPIR-V/GLSL/HLSL expect a matCx2 to have a matrix stride of 16 (inner vector components to be aligned to 16 bytes including itself).

Solution

Replace matCx2 with a sequence of C vec2's (since vec2s alignment is 8) and reconstruct the matrix in the shader.

Reopened since the PR only solved the issue in the HLSL backend. The GLSL backend still needs changes.

We'll have to do this for spv as well... See gfx-rs/naga#2034.
