Opaque Sprite Shader

Modified built-in sprite shader so that its opaque, no color tint, and pixel snap is always on.
Just to test if there are any performance benefits to use them for opaque sprite tiles, at least the compiled shader stats seems to be lighter.

You can download built-in shader sources at: https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive

Default Sprite shader compiled stats:

// Stats for Vertex shader:
//       d3d11 : 8 avg math (5..11)
//    d3d11_9x : 8 avg math (5..11)
//        d3d9 : 13 avg math (6..21)
// Stats for Fragment shader:
//       d3d11 : 2 math, 2 texture, 1 branch
//    d3d11_9x : 2 math, 2 texture, 1 branch
//        d3d9 : 5 math, 2 texture

Opaque Sprite shader compiled stats:

// Stats for Vertex shader:
//       d3d11 : 10 math
//    d3d11_9x : 10 math
//        d3d9 : 20 math
// Stats for Fragment shader:
//       d3d11 : 0 math, 1 texture
//    d3d11_9x : 0 math, 1 texture
//        d3d9 : 2 math, 1 texture
