Unlike other qualifiers, HLSL allows "sample" to be either a qualifier keyword or an
identifier (e.g, a variable or function name).
A fix to allow this was made a while ago, but that fix was insufficient when 'sample'
was used in an expression. The problem was around the initial ambiguity between:
sample float a; // "sample" is part of a fully specified type
and
sample.xyz; // sample is a keyword in a dot expression
Both start the same. The "sample" was being accepted as a qualifier before enough
further parsing was done to determine we were not a declaration after all. This
consumed the token, causing it to fail for its real purpose.
Now, when accepting a fully specified type, the token is pushed back onto the stack if
the thing is not a fully specified type. This leaves it available for subsequent
purposes.
Changed the "hlsl.identifier.sample.frag" test to exercise this situation, distilled
down from a production shaders.
