Required by Metal backend for efficient shader compilation. EEVEE material
resource binding permutations now controlled via CreateInfo and selected
based on material options. Other existing CreateInfo's also modified to
ensure explicitness for depth-writing mode. Other missing bindings also
addressed to ensure full compliance with the Metal backend.

This is a first part of the Shader Create Info system could be.
A shader create info provides a way to define shader structure, resources
and interfaces. This makes for a quick way to provide backend agnostic
binding informations while also making shader variations easy to declare.
- Clear source input (only one file). Cleans up the GPU api since we can create a
shader from one descriptor
- Resources and interfaces are generated by the backend (much simpler than parsing).
- Bindings are explicit from position in the array.
- GPUShaderInterface becomes a trivial translation of enums and string copy.
- No external dependency to third party lib.
- Cleaner code, less fragmentation of resources in several libs.
- Easy to modify / extend at runtime.
- no parser involve, very easy to code.
- Does not hold any data, can be static and kept on disc.
- Could hold precompiled bytecode for static shaders.
This also includes a new global dependency system.
GLSL shaders can include other sources by using #pragma BLENDER_REQUIRE(...).
This patch already migrated several builtin shaders. Other shaders should be migrated
one at a time, and could be done inside master.
There is a new compile directive `WITH_GPU_SHADER_BUILDER` this is an optional
directive for linting shaders to increase turn around time.
What is remaining:
- pyGPU API {T94975}
- Migration of other shaders. This could be a community effort.

Originally I wanted to avoid adding draw manager specific ifdef's all
over generic shaders however this isn't needed in so many places.
Also there are shaders that are only used by the draw manager so
duplicating them only to have the original unused doesn't make sense.
The fragment shader expects a normal, but the vertex shader was not providing one.
Fix: added a new vertex shader that has normals + smooth color interpolation.
I also split gpu_shader_3D_vert in two:
- one with just position
- one with position + normal
For each of the builtin shaders, we should be able to look at the GLSL and tell exactly what it's doing. Using #defines and #ifdefs for rendering options makes the shaders hard to read and easy to break.
ui_draw_but_COLORBAND
Introduced a new checker shader to be used mostly on transparent areas.
OpenGL immediate mode: interface_draw.c (cont)
ui_draw_but_UNITVEC
Introduced a new shader to be used for simple lighting.
Smooth round point with outline (uniform color) and fill (varying color).
Updated shader naming scheme: a shader that doesn't deal with color does not have to say "no color". Vertex shaders do not have to say "uniform color" since their frag counterpart actually has the uniform. Each name should describe what that shader *does*, not what it *doesn't do*.
