Description

While working on #1831 it was discussed with @niklasharrysson that we might benefit from having common initialization/de-initialization methods for the ShaderGeneration classes.

Registering struct typedefs, and also calling registerShaderMetadata could be consolidated to a single place.

Research direction

Start by locating the ShaderGeneration classes and their existing struct typedef registration and registerShaderMetadata calls. The work is complete when common initialization and de-initialization consolidate these operations without leaving duplicated class-specific setup.
