The latency_between was trying to handle the delay between the coordinate
write ("before") and the corresponding sample read ("after"), but we were
handing in the two instructions swapped.

This meant that we tried to fit things between a tex_s and its *preceding*
tex_result.  This made us only interleave normal texture coordinates by
accident, and pessimized UBO reads by pushing the tex_result collection
earlier until there was nothing but it (and then its preceding coordinate
setup) left.

In addition to latency reduction, things end up packing better (probably
due to reduced live ranges of the texture results):

total instructions in shared programs: 98121 -> 94775 (-3.41%)
instructions in affected programs:     91196 -> 87850 (-3.67%)
