this is to highlight areas in the code that still directly do opengl calls or use
opengl types.
This is in preparation for supporting alternative rendering back-ends.

This means the shader can now be used for procedural texturing. New
settings on the node are Samples, Inside, Local Only and Distance.

Since we are only creating this and never updating, there is no need for
the original approach with the individual data to be updated.
Note we only populate the GPU data when binding the UBO, so we can in the
future easily create the UBOs in a separate thread than the main drawing one.
Also at the moment animated materials are not working. To fix that we need
to free/tag for free the GPUMaterials in BKE_material_eval.
This is part of the work needed to refactor the material parameters update.
Now the gpupass cache is polled before adding the gpumaterial to the
deferred compilation queue.
We store gpupasses in a single linked list grouped based on their hashes.
This is not the most efficient way but it can be improved upon later.
This is a dirty fix. A bit more cleaner approach would be to check if a
context is bound and delay the deletion only in this case.
Also we may want to do this orphan deletion at some other places than
wm_window_swap_buffers.
Do note that it does not match cycles implementation.
Also we could precompute the hash per strand before rendering but that would
suggest it's not per engine specific.
If we make the random value internal to blender then it won't be a matter
because other renderers will have access to the same value.
This is really convenient for development. Either for profiling the
generated shaders or to check if the generated code is correct.
It writes the shaders to the temporary blender session folder.

We no longer user scissor for 3D viewport drawing, and some selection
code assumed it still. This also cleans up unnecessary scissor test
switching, we only have it temporarily enabled now.
The Math node currently has the normal atan() function, but for
actual angles this is fairly useless without additional nodes to handle the signs.
Since the node has two inputs anyways, it only makes sense to add an arctan2 option.

This is intended to help developers to know how and when to use each shader.
There are plenty of undocumented shaders, but it's a matter of filling them in.
The script I used to quickly find the related shaders for a const is: P700

OVERVIEW
* In 2.7 terminology, all layers and groups are now collection datablocks.
* These collections are nestable, linkable, instanceable, overrideable, ..
which opens up new ways to set up scenes and link + override data.
* Viewport/render visibility and selectability are now a part of the collection
and shared across all view layers and linkable.
* View layers define which subset of the scene collection hierarchy is excluded
for each. For many workflows one view layer can be used, these are more of an
advanced feature now.
OUTLINER
* The outliner now has a "View Layer" display mode instead of "Collections",
which can display the collections and/or objects in the view layer.
* In this display mode, collections can be excluded with the right click menu.
These will then be greyed out and their objects will be excluded.
* To view collections not linked to any scene, the "Blender File" display mode
can be used, with the new filtering option to just see Colleciton datablocks.
* The outliner right click menus for collections and objects were reorganized.
* Drag and drop still needs to be improved. Like before, dragging the icon or
text gives different results, we'll unify this later.
LINKING AND OVERRIDES
* Collections can now be linked into the scene without creating an instance,
with the link/append operator or from the collections view in the outliner.
* Collections can get static overrides with the right click menu in the outliner,
but this is rather unreliable and not clearly communicated at the moment.
* We still need to improve the make override operator to turn collection instances
into collections with overrides directly in the scene.
PERFORMANCE
* We tried to make performance not worse than before and improve it in some
cases. The main thing that's still a bit slower is multiple scenes, we have to
change the layer syncing to only updated affected scenes.
* Collections keep a list of their parent collections for faster incremental
updates in syncing and caching.
* View layer bases are now in a object -> base hash to avoid quadratic time
lookups internally and in API functions like visible_get().
VERSIONING
* Compatibility with 2.7 files should be improved due to the new visibility
controls. Of course users may not want to set up their scenes differently
now to avoid having separate layers and groups.
* Compatibility with 2.8 is mostly there, and was tested on Eevee demo and Hero
files. There's a few things which are know to be not quite compatible, like
nested layer collections inside groups.
* The versioning code for 2.8 files is quite complicated, and isolated behind
#ifdef so it can be removed at the end of the release cycle.
KNOWN ISSUES
* The G-key group operators in the 3D viewport were left mostly as is, they
need to be modified still to fit better.
* Same for the groups panel in the object properties. This needs to be updated
still, or perhaps replaced by something better.
* Collections must all have a unique name. Less restrictive namespacing is to
be done later, we'll have to see how important this is as all objects within
the collections must also have a unique name anyway.
* Full scene copy and delete scene are exactly doing the right thing yet.
