This patch adds new render passes to EEVEE. These passes include:
* Emission
* Diffuse Light
* Diffuse Color
* Glossy Light
* Glossy Color
* Environment
* Volume Scattering
* Volume Transmission
* Bloom
* Shadow
With these passes it will be possible to use EEVEE effectively for
compositing. During development we kept a close eye on how to get similar
results compared to cycles render passes there are some differences that
are related to how EEVEE works. For EEVEE we combined the passes to
`Diffuse` and `Specular`. There are no transmittance or sss passes anymore.
Cycles will be changed accordingly.
Cycles volume transmittance is added to multiple surface col passes. For
EEVEE we left the volume transmittance as a separate pass.
Known Limitations
* All materials that use alpha blending will not be rendered in the render
passes. Other transparency modes are supported.
* More GPU memory is required to store the render passes. When rendering
a HD image with all render passes enabled at max extra 570MB GPU memory is
required.
Implementation Details
An overview of render passes have been described in
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Render/EEVEE/RenderPasses
Future Developments
* In this implementation the materials are re-rendered for Diffuse/Glossy
and Emission passes. We could use multi target rendering to improve the
render speed.
* Other passes can be added later
* Don't render material based passes when only requesting AO or Shadow.
* Add more passes to the system. These could include Cryptomatte, AOV's, Vector,
ObjectID, MaterialID, UV.

EEVEE Soft shadows were not rendered correctly during viewport
rendering. The reason for this is that during viewport rendering the
shadow buffers were only update once and not per sample. This resulted
that all the samples calculated the same shadow.
This fix moves the call to `EEVEE_shadows_update` from cache finished to
draw scene. This needs to happen before `EEVEE_lightprobes_refresh`.

This patch will allow the user to select the EEVEE renderpass to be
shown in the viewport by default the combined pass will be shown.
Limitations:
* Viewport rendering stores the result in a `RenderResult`. RenderResult
is not aware of the type of data it holds. In many places where RenderResult
is used it is assumed that it stores a combined pass and the display+view
transform are applied.
I will propose to fix this in a future patch. But that is still being
designed and discussed.

Most of the renderpasses in EEVEE used post-processing on the CPU. For
final image rendering this is sufficient, but when we want to display
the data to the user we don't want to transfer to the CPU to do post
processing to then upload it back to the GPU to display the result.
This patch moves the renderpass postprocessing to a GLSL shader.
This is the first step to do, before we will enable the renderpasses in the viewport.

Alpha blended Transparency is now using dual source blending making it
fully compatible with cycles Transparent BSDF.
Multiply and additive blend mode can be achieved using some nodes and are
going to be removed.
We check if the previous iteration (sample) was using a valid double buffer.
If it wasn't, we request another iteration.
This fix the issue for viewport,viewport render and image render.

This is enabled with bl_use_eevee_viewport = True. It allows external engines
to generate an Cycles/Eevee shader node setup to emulate their materials in
the realtime viewport, or to leave it to users to do manually.
Removed bl_use_exclude_layers and bl_use_shading_nodes that did nothing
anymore. This should not break API compatibility, any scripts setting those
should continue to work the same as before.
Also adds descriptions for some RenderEngine settings.
This is too generic flag, and it might be used by anything, starting from
changes in transform ending with changes in ID properties.
The check here is to be as specific as possible. If that is not possible
the decision must be documented.

This is to simplify the usage of Volumetrics.
Now it automatically detect if there is any Volumetric material in the
view and allocate the needed buffer if any.
EEVEE assumed that the OGL renderer did FSAA, as the FSAA was removed we
needed to revalidate this assumption. The temporal sampling only inited
the matrices during init phase. As now we need to update the matrices
for every sample rendered the code for updating the matrices was
isolated in a new function `EEVEE_temporal_sampling_update_matrices`.

Make Lookdev works with bloom and TAA by rendering it before TAA and fixing
the motion vectors of the lookdev balls.
Rework Lookdev to remove much of its complexity. Use simpler matrices with
more understandable setup code.
Viewport now displays alpha checkerboard pattern like Cycles does when
film alpha is set to "Transparent".
Some small workarounds were necessary for Depth of Field and correct TAA
support.
* Use simple default view transform for color pickers, as Filmic does not work
well for all types of colors. We better handle this with an option and tagging
of colors as emissive or albedo like.
* For solid/workbench we also no longer use Filmic, as there is not enough contrast
and it's not really needed since this is not physically based lighting.
* For lookdev always take into account the view transform and look. Other view
settings like exposure are only taken into account if scene lighting is used,
since these are often dependent on scene light intensity.

Object visibility is now handled by the depsgraph iterator, but this API
was incomplete as it made no distinction for visibility of the object itself,
particles and generated instances.
The depsgraph iterator API now includes information about which part of the
object is visible, and this is used by Cycles to replace the old custom logic.
Cycles and EEVEE visibility should now be consistent, which unfortunately does
means some subtle compatibility breakage for both.

The crash only occurs with Intel 3rd generation GPUs.
It occurs because the program needs to be used at least once in the opengl context in which it is created.
This makes it possible to tweak indirect lighting in the shader.
Only a subset of the outputs is supported and the ray depth has not exactly
the same meaning:

Is Transmission : Not supported. Same as Is Glossy.
Ray Length : Not supported. Defaults to 1.0.

Diffuse Depth : Same as Ray Depth but only when baking diffuse light.
Glossy Depth : Same as Ray Depth but only when baking specular light.
Transparent Depth : Not supported. Defaults to 0.
Transmission Depth : Not supported. Same as Glossy Depth.
Caveat: Is Glossy does not work with Screen Space Reflections but does work
with reflection planes (when used with SSR or not).
We have to render the world twice for that to work.
This new option is located in the shadows options in the render settings.
This approach is simple and just randomize the shadow map position (not
the lamp itself) and just let the temporal supersampling do the average of
all the shadowing. The downside is that is needs quite a large number of
samples to give smooth results and individual sample position can remain
visible.
Enabling this option will make the viewport refresh all shadow maps every
redraw so it has a serious performance impact.
This approach is not physicaly based at all and will not match cycles.

There was an issue caused by Antialiasing being done after DoF. Move TAA
after DOF and Motion Blur.
Also certain pixel with lower CoC would be spread all over the background
because the neighbooring pixel have higher CoC. So we need to apply some
bilateral filtering when downsampling. Currently we limit the influence of
neighbor pixels with a CoC inside the range [MaxCoC-2, MaxCoC].
