This is in order to use the same texture on multiple sampler.
Also texture counter is reset after each shading group. This mimics the previous behaviour.
- Use only one 2d texture array to store all shadowmaps.
- Allow to change shadow maps resolution.
- Do not output radial distance when rendering shadowmaps. This will allow fast rendering of shadowmaps when we will drop the use of geometry shaders.
We do have an history of those pieces of evil in our code, would be nice
to get fully rid of it, but at the very least let's not add more of them
in new code. :)
This will only be noticeable for drawing many instances.
In contrived use-case with many instances, and `USE_PROFILE` disabled
this can close to double playback FPS.
The option to disable this is left in the code in case we want to
debug memory use.
See D2756 for details.
Old performance debug was doing queries for every frame even if not debugging perf.
Also, it did not record when a pass was draw multiple time, leading to incorect measurement.
New module also allows to group the timers to limit infos displayed.
Also fix the background CPU draw timer.
For users that means you can tweak shaders in the nodetree and things
are way faster. This is a huge improvement, particularly in
systems that have no shader cache.
From the code perspective it means we are no longer re-compiling the
shader every time a value is tweaked in the UI. We are using uniforms
for those values.
It would be slow to add that many uniforms for all the shaders. So
instead we are using UBO (Uniform Buffer Objects).
This fixes the main issue of T51467. However GWN_shaderinterface_create() still
needs to be improvedi. When opening a .blend all shaders are compiled once, so
optimizing it will bring a measurable impact.
========================================================================
NOTE: This breaks update of Cycles material upon nodetree nodes
tweaking. It will be fixed separately by depsgraph, once tackling T51925
(Animated Eevee values slowdown).
The idea is to make Depsgraph update more granular. The XXX TODO in
rna_nodetree.c will be tackled at that time as well.

This commit introduce the computation of a depth pyramid containing min and max depth values of the original depth buffer.
This is useful for Clustered Light Culling but also for raytracing on the depth buffer (SSR).
It's also usefull to have to fetch higher mips in order to improve texture cache usage.
As of now, 1st mip (highest res) is half the resolution of the depth buffer, but everything is already done to be able to make a fullres copy of the depth buffer in the 1st mip instead of downsampling.
Also, the texture used is RG_32F which is a too much but enough to cover the 24bits of the depth buffer. Reducing the texture size would make things quite faster.
This special case function enables rendering to a miplevel while using the miplevels above as texture input.
This is needed for some algorithm (i.e. creating a min-max depth pyramid texture).
We should be able to differentiate between OpenGL render (viewport
render), offline render (F12), and view render (viewport draw).
This allows for us preventing offline render to skip mode drawings, grid, ...
Even OpenGL render can benefit from this forcing a higher quality
anti-alias and sampling than the viewport drawing.
I'm not sure if it's clever to keep the memset(0x00) outside the render
loop function as it is in this patch. An alternative is to just pass the
render "type" as a flag to the render function, and set DST.options
inside it. (I may change this tomorrow, I will wait to hear from
Campbell on that).
