This introduce the wireframe batches. Creating the indices buffer does
not seems to slow down the sculpt in my testing (but it is kind of hard to
test reliably)
This includes a bit of cleanup in gpu_buffers.c.
Needed to fix T61196, supporting clipped back-buffer in the 3D view
which is done outside the draw module.
It was also inconvenient having DRW_shader_* versions of GPU_shader_*
API calls.
- Clipping distances are now supported as a shader configuration
for builtin shaders.
- Add shader config argument when accessing builtin shaders.
- Move GPU_shader_create_from_arrays() from DRW to GPU.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Add 'G_draw' for all draw manager globals,
avoids adding extern to each file.
Connection between `ts` and `globals_ubo` wasn't obvious,
now called `G_draw.block` & `G_draw.block_ubo`.
The shader is way simpler and run way faster on lower end hardware
(2x faster on intel HD5000) but did not notice any improvement on AMD Vega.
This also adds a few changes to the way the wireframes are drawn:
- the slider is more linearly progressive.
- optimize display shows all wires and progressively decrease "inner" wires
intensity. This is subject to change in the future.
- text/surface/metaballs support is pretty rough. More work needs to be done.
This remove the optimization introduced in f1975a4639.
This also removes the GPU side "sharpness" calculation which means that
animated meshes with wireframe display will update slower.
The CPU sharpness calculation has still room for optimization. Also
it is not excluded that GPU calculation can be added back as a
separate preprocessing pass (saving the computation result [compute or
feedback]).
The goal here was to have more speed for static objects and remove
the dependency of having buffer textures with triangle count. This is
preparation work for multithreading the whole DRW manager.
This only happens after a certain wireframe threshold.
We sort triangles into 2 bins (start and end of the buffer) based on a
threshold and just draw the first bin if the wireframe slider is low enough.
This optimization is disabled for deformed meshes when playback is active.
This optimization is only implemented for meshes object for now.
This should help resolve (to some extent) T58188.

First problem is that enabling the "in front" option made the wire object
test against an not updated stencil buffer.
Second problem is that the "in front" option was useless on wire objects.
To fix this we bypass the depth test and live with some sorting problem.
This commit make the Xray option for the wireframe different from the other
shading mode. This makes it possible to rapidly switch between wireframe +
Xray and Solid mode without Xray.
Xray alpha is also decoupled.
Both variables are duplicated and exposed separately through RNA.
This is using the existing engine (workbench forward) with 0.0 xray_alpha
and forcing wireframes on all objects.
There is no workflow/shortcut changes in this commit.
