Export header files needed to define own optimizer passes outside of SPIRV-Tools #5832

I think it's not possible without modifying the source code, so it would be nice to be able to define and implement our own passes using public API.

This is something we have considered in the past. We decided against it in the past because this would force us to expose the interface to a large number of classes that were not stable. We did not even make if officially exposed to the fuzzer.

We are making the same decision now. Even though spirv-opt does not change as much anymore, we still do not want to limit what can be done by having a public interface that has to be backwards compatible.

You can probably get around that by being clever with the cmake file in your own project. Unfortunately, I don't have an example project that does this to help you out.
