[Android] [Shader System] FPS drop on some Android devices caused by shader compiler
How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached user's project 'weilaicheng_2019_4.zip'
2. Build And Run on Android
3. After 15 seconds observe the second FPS counter at the top left of the device screen (average FPS for 15 seconds)
Expected results: The average FPS is 21.7 (different on each device)
Actual results: The average FPS is 20.6 (different on each device)
Reproducible with: 2019.4.31f1, 2020.3.20f1, 2021.1.24f1, 2021.2.0b15, 2022.1.0a12
Reproducible with:
VLNQA00288, Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J730F), Android 8.1.0, CPU: Exynos 7 Octa 7870, GPU: Mali-T830

Notes:
- The expected and actual FPS can be compared with a build from Unity 2018.4.27f1 (shader compiler does not cause an issue in this version)

Resolution Note (fix version 2022.2):
Our shader compiler (or rather Microsoft's FXC that we use) doesn't treat floating point literals with the 'h' suffix as half precision (e.g. "0.5h"). Please use constructor-style casts instead (e.g. "half(0.5)").
To ensure correct sampler precision, please use DX11 style separate texture and sample declaration using the half data type there. E.g:
SamplerState sampler_MainTex;
Texture2D<half4> _MainTex;
We used to have a system in the shader translation that tried to automatically propagate the sampler precision to following calculations. However, it caused more trouble than it solved so we had to remove it. Please use modern syntax above with appropriate type information for proper half precision utilization.
As a further solution to this bug we're fixing the UNITY_DECLARE_TEX2D_HALF etc macros use the explicit typing syntax so that any shaders using these helpers will get proper precision information on mobile targets.
