This patch adds F12 offline Freestyle rendering support to Eevee.
Most functionalities are identical with those found in Cycles.
The only major difference is that the per-view layer "use Freestyle" toggle
option is currently placed in the "Passes" panel of the "View Layers"
properties window instead of a "Layer" panel as in Cycles. Since Freestyle
is a post-processed overlay and not a pass, the present option location is
a compromise. To describe this fact, the per-layer "use Freestyle" option
is in a subsection labeled as "Layer".

This separate context allows two things:
- It allows viewports in multi-windows configuration.
- F12 render can use this context in a separate thread and do a non-blocking render.
The downside is that the context cannot be used while rendering so a request to refresh a viewport will lock the UI. This is something that will be adressed in the future.
Under the hood what does that mean:
- Not adding more mess with VAOs management in gawain.
- Doing depth only draw for operators / selection needs to be done in an offscreen buffer.
- The 3D cursor "autodis" operator is still reading the backbuffer so we need to copy the result to it.
- All FBOs needed by the drawmanager must to be created/destroyed with its context active.
- We cannot use batches created for UI in the DRW context and vice-versa. There is a clear separation of resources that enables the use of safe multi-threading.
The exporter does export matrix data (4*4 Transformation matrix) only for Skeletal animation. For object animation only exporting to trans/rot/loc is implemented.
This task implements Matrix export also for simple Object animation.

Turns out to be the call that was destroying performance.
I get 18ms->6ms improvement of drawing time with 10 000 unique objects.
And we can still improve upon this!
This started with a fix for an animated Object Hierarchy. Then i decided to cleanup and optimize a bit. But at the end this has become a more or less full rewrite of the Animation Exporter. All of this happened in a separate local branch and i have retained all my local commits to better see what i have done.
Brief description:
* I fixed a few issues with exporting keyframed animations of object hierarchies where the objects have parent inverse matrices which differ from the Identity matrix.
* I added the option to export sampled animations with a user defined sampling rate (new user interface option)
* I briefly tested Object Animations and Rig Animations.
What is still needed:
* Cleanup the code
* Optimize the user interface
* Do the Documentation

This is used to determine which voxels are to be considered empty space.
Previously it was hardcoded for converting dense grids to OpenVDB grids
to reduce disk space usage.
This value is also useful for rendering engines to know, i.e. to
optimize ray marching.
Some other software cannot handle grid names with spaces in them. We still check for names with spaces so as to not break old
files.
This fixes T53802.
This replaces the blackbody to RGB code with the simpler and faster one from
Cycles. It's a little different but the other placing using this is the legacy
volume drawing, so no need to stay compatible with that.
Similar to the Principled BSDF, this should make it easier to set up volume
materials. Smoke and fire can be rendererd with just a single principled
volume node, the appropriate attributes will be used when available. The node
also works for simpler homogeneous volumes like water or mist.

Technically the original issue is that xof/yof in render result is calculated
for drawing border render. So a simpler patch could be:
```
- rr->xof = re->disprect.xmin;
+ rr->xof = re->disprect.xmin + BLI_rcti_cent_x(&re->disprect) - (re->winx / 2);
```
However everywhere in the code we are getting border directly from re->disprect
which we may as well do here too.
Besides I'm taking this as a chance to get rid of RenderResult in the internal
loop of eevee, to help prepare the code to the upcoming rendering pipeline
changes.
