This decouple the vertex display from the face+edges.
This is to reduce the number of triangles required to fix the edges
artifacts (aliasing) and increase viewport reactivity when not actively
navigating (ie. mouse scroll).
Also it makes all vertices visible (not cut-off) even when navigating.
However it makes the navigation drawing a bit slower because it has to
render twice.
Also add a depth bias to the wires to avoid depth fighting when previewing
final mesh (modifiers applied).
Currently it's not showing the subdivided mesh (if there is a subdiv mod)
and there is some sync issue if there is multiple uv image space opened.
But thoses will be tackled later on. The purpose of this commit is to fix
the overflow issue of IMM and speed issue.
NOTE: This commit only concern edit UVs and not the "shadow" mesh displayed
when texture painting. This will be address in a future commit.
We now cache the uv mesh in the mesh batch cache and only reupload data on
changes.
Update could be more granular (and a bit faster) but it's not our main
concern ATM.
This should fix problem caused by the IMM api used to draw large meshes.
This makes performance skyrocket compared to previous implementation.
There is still a big CPU bottleneck when not in sync selection mode but it
is not related to the drawing function directly.
This adds existing behavior from calc_weightpaint_vert_array
that was missing from the new rendering code:
- No selected Vertex Group displays as a solid pink color.
- Zero weight displays as alert color depending on Options.
- Multipaint mode correctly displays collective weight.
In order to properly implement this variety, a data structure
holding all relevant parameters is introduced.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
Note: Metaballs only support the first material slot. Splicing it per
material would create empty Batches. In order to overcome this we set
the batch for other materials to NULL. We added extra checks in EEVEE
and Workbench to not draw when the geom is NULL.
This make the limited wireframe not a performance problem anymore.
However, this does change the number of edges displayed as the threshold
is now computed per vertex instead of per edges.
For this reason we extended (internaly) the range of the slider so that the
users can hide more edge.
Only OB_MESH is supported for now.
Creates a simple index buffer with negative indices if the edges is not a
real edge.
Also create the buffer texture representation of this buffer along with the
pos_in_order buffer texture.
This makes the shadows ~10 times faster in the general case.
This only create extrusion geometry on the outline edges. Also we increment
or decrement the stencil buffer by 2 for each manifold edge and only by 1
for non manifold. This make the algorithm robust yet less heavy than creating
one prism for each triangles.
We can not rely on edit->psys, it is not set for particle edit,
and there is some logic deeper inside which does different things
dependent on that.
We need to replace those checks with some some HAIR vs. PARTICLES
flag and always set psys pointer.
The idea is that edit mode structure is owned by original object,
and used for drawing. This is a bit confusing, especially since
path cache is also in that structure and needs evaluated object
to calculate cache.
In the future we should split edit data from visualization data,
but that's bigger refactor.
Now they are properly converted to Linear space before interpolation.
Since the only way to get vertex color in eevee and cycles is via the
attribute node with the CD_AUTO_FROM_NAME flag, we have to know at binding
time which type of buffer will be connected to this auto input.
We store this information inside the batch cache (together with the according
uniform name) and pass it as uniform to the shader which does conversion if
needed. The same shader can then be reused to draw another mesh with
different auto layers configuration.
The way how particle state is to be accessed or used did not change
in Blender 2.8, so the drawing code should follow old design.
This code is somewhat duplicated from drawobject.c, but old draw
code is on the way to be removed anyway.
This fixes issue with disappearing particles when tweaking number
of particles.
Use mesh batch cache for mesh selection.
Note that we could create the batches and free immediately
so they don't take up memory.
This resolves a problem where selection was limited
to immediate-mode buffer size.
Read from the GPUMaterial to find custom-data layers used for drawing.
This resolves problem where having UV's would always calculate tangents
causing noticeable slow down compared to 2.7x.
This still has a couple of issues:
* Instancing is not working when multiple particle systems use the same
primitive. Only the last particle system to be drawn with a particular
primitive shows up.
* Because of colors being passed as uniforms with static variables, the
color of the collection of the last object to be evauluated is used for
all particles being displayed.
Also, note that while this is being drawn in the clay engine, this might
be moved to the object mode later intead.

- Added New Batch cache routine to get the split mesh for each material. (optimization needed)
- Did some shader modifications to create default_frag and support a somwhat correct fresnel for lamps (to finish)
