Avoid computing the non-derivative height twice.
The height is now computed as part of the main function, while the height at x and y offsets are still computed on a separate function.
The differentials are now computed directly at node_bump.

Pull Request #104595
Documented all functions, adding use case and side effects.
Also replace the use of shortened argument name by more meaningful ones.
Renamed `GPU_batch_instbuf_add_ex` and `GPU_batch_vertbuf_add_ex` to remove
the `ex` suffix as they are the main version used (removed the few usage
of the other version).
Renamed `GPU_batch_draw_instanced` to `GPU_batch_draw_instance_range` and
make it consistent with `GPU_batch_draw_range`.
Blender was reporting that the GPU_TEXTURE_USAGE_HOST_READ wasn't set.
This is used to indicate that the textures needs to be read back to
CPU. Textures that don't need to be read back can be optimized by the
GPU backend.
Found during investigation of #104282.
Implements virtual shadow mapping for EEVEE-Next primary shadow solution.
This technique aims to deliver really high precision shadowing for many
lights while keeping a relatively low cost.
The technique works by splitting each shadows in tiles that are only
allocated & updated on demand by visible surfaces and volumes.
Local lights use cubemap projection with mipmap level of detail to adapt
the resolution to the receiver distance.
Sun lights use clipmap distribution or cascade distribution (depending on
which is better) for selecting the level of detail with the distance to
the camera.
Current maximum shadow precision for local light is about 1 pixel per 0.01
degrees.
For sun light, the maximum resolution is based on the camera far clip
distance which sets the most coarse clipmap.
## Limitation:
Alpha Blended surfaces might not get correct shadowing in some corner
casses. This is to be fixed in another commit.
While resolution is greatly increase, it is still finite. It is virtually
equivalent to one 8K shadow per shadow cube face and per clipmap level.
There is no filtering present for now.
## Parameters:
Shadow Pool Size: In bytes, amount of GPU memory to dedicate to the
shadow pool (is allocated per viewport).
Shadow Scaling: Scale the shadow resolution. Base resolution should
target subpixel accuracy (within the limitation of the technique).

Straightforward port. I took the oportunity to remove some C vector
functions (ex: copy_v2_v2).
This makes some changes to DRWView to accomodate the alignement
requirements of the float4x4 type.

`ED_GIZMO_CAGE2D_STYLE_CIRCLE` now draw circles. The previous `ED_GIZMO_CAGE2D_STYLE_CIRCLE`, which drew rectangles, is renamed to `ED_GIZMO_CAGE2D_STYLE_RECTANGLE`. The meaning of `ED_GIZMO_CAGE2D_STYLE_BOX` is now unclear and probably needs to be renamed too.

Test case is a smaller step towards supporting Vulkan. Other
test cases rely on SSBOs as well so it is better to first satisfy
this step before handling the others.
Reduces the GLSL to MSL translation stage of shader compilation from 120 ms to 5 ms for complex EEVEE materials. This manifests in faster overall compilations, and faster cache hits for secondary compilations, as the MSL variant is needed as a key.
Startup time is also improved for both first-run and second-run. Note that this change does not affect shader compilation times within the Metal API.
Also disables shader output to disk

Replace texelFetch calls with a texture point-sample rather than a textureRead call. This increases texture cache utilisation when mixing between sampled calls and reads. Bounds checking can also be removed from these functions, reducing instruction count and branch divergence, as the sampler routine handles range clamping.

Test results were generated from incorrect code.
Code was fixed, but test results weren't updated.
This patch updates the test results to match the implementation.
- `projection_perspective.w.w == 0.0`
Also minor changes in comments:
- Reference BLENDER_HISTORY_FILE instead of the literal file-name

- Use usernames in tags, as noted in code-style.

This isn't needed and shouldn't be included. This change will
only include them when WITH_GTEST and WITH_OPENGL_DRAW_TESTS are
enabled. All other cases those files will be skipped.
Resolve an issue where released buffers were returned to the reusable memory pool before GPU work associated with these buffers had been encoded. Usually release of memory pools is dependent on successful completion of GPU work via command buffer callbacks. However, if the pool refresh operation occurs between encoding of work and submission, buffer ref-count is prematurely decremented.
Patch also ensures safe buffer free lists are only flushed once a set number of buffers have been used. This reduces overhead of small and frequent flushes, without raising the memory ceiling significantly.

Compute test case still used legacy API to construct
GLSL shaders. This change will migrate it to use the
GPUShaderCreateInfo's.
In preparation to run test-cases against non-opengl
back-ends.
Due to shader global scope emulation via class interface, global constant arrays in shaders are allocated in per-thread shader local memory. To reduce memory pressure, placing these constant arrays inside function scope will ensure they only reside within device constant memory. This results in a tangible 1.5-2x performance uplift for the specific shaders affected.

Paths to vulkan libraries, paths and related components were
hardcoded in the platform cmake file. This patch separates
this by using adding CMake modules for Vulkan and ShaderC.
This change has only been applied to the macOs configuration as
that is currently our main platform for development. Other platforms
will be added during the development of the Vulkan back-end.
Metal backend does not support primtiive restart for point primtiives. Hence strip_restart_indices removes restart indices by swapping them to the end of the index buffer and reducing the length.
An edge-case existed where all indices within the index buffer were restarts and no valid swap-index would be found, resulting in a buffer underflow.

This patch adds support for compilation and execution of GLSL compute shaders. This, along with a few systematic changes and fixes, enable realtime compositor functionality with the Metal backend on macOS. A number of GLSL source modifications have been made to add the required level of type explicitness, allowing all compilations to succeed.
GLSL Compute shader compilation follows a similar path to Vertex/Fragment translation, with added support for shader atomics, shared memory blocks and barriers.
Texture flags have also been updated to ensure correct read/write specification for textures used within the compositor pipeline. GPU command submission changes have also been made in the high level path, when Metal is used, to address command buffer time-outs caused by certain expensive compute shaders.

change reverts a compile directive that was removed, but required
in order to compile using the Vulkan backend.
Rewrite of the Workbench engine using C++ and the new Draw Manager API.
The new engine can be enabled in Blender `Preferences > Experimental > Workbench Next`.
After that, the engine can be selected in `Properties > Scene > Render Engine`.
When `Workbench Next` is the active engine, it also handles the `Solid` viewport mode rendering.
The rewrite aims to be functionally equivalent to the current Workbench engine, but it also includes some small fixes/tweaks:
- `In Front` rendered objects now work correctly with DoF and Shadows.
- The `Sampling > Viewport` setting is actually used when the viewport is in `Render Mode`.
- In `Texture` mode, textured materials also use the material properties. (Previously, only non textured materials would)
To do:
- Sculpt PBVH.
- Volume rendering.
- Hair rendering.
- Use the "no_geom" shader versions for shadow rendering.
- Decide the final API for custom visibility culling (Needed for shadows).
- Profile/optimize.
Known Issues:
- Matcaps are not loaded until they’re shown elsewhere. (e.g. when opening the `Viewort Shading` UI)
- Outlines are drawn between different materials of the same object. (Each material submesh has its own object handle)

Improve handling for cases where maximum in-flight command buffer count is exceeded. This can occur during light-baking operations. Ensures the application handles this gracefully and also improves workload pipelining by situationally stalling until GPU work has completed, if too much work is queued up.
This may have a tangible benefit for T103742 by ensuring Blender does not queue up too much GPU work.
