Fix for GPencil and Cycles Render draw type. GPencil objects were only
shown when overlays were turned on. The cause of this is an
optimization we did to not populate any draw engine when an
external renderer was used with overlays turned off.
This will check if there is any visible GPencil object in the scene. if
so it will still perform the loop.
`DEG_id_type_any_exists` can check if any object of a certain type_id is in the
result. This check is also being used to check if there are any
visible grease pencil objects as a precheck in `DRW_render_check_grease_pencil`.

This change makes it so a minimal dependency graph which only includes
compositor and sequencer is built for the render pipeline purposes.
Tricky part here is that it's only compositor itself and sequencer who
to use this dependency graph and IDs from it. Render engines are still
to be provided original IDs because:
- They will create dependency graph for the given scene, and currently
it is not possible to create dependency graph from CoW scene.
- IDs from the compositor/sequencer dependency graph are "stripped",
as in, they wouldn't have all view layers, collections or objects
required for proper final render.
This creates annoying mess of mixing evaluated and original scene
access in various parts of the pipeline.

Previously, render parts were stored in a linked list and every tile update
searched the entire list for the correct part. As a result, the overhead
of searching tiles increased quadratically w.r.t. the number of tiles.
By hashing the parts based on their location, this operation is much faster,
significantly reducing the tile update overhead for small tiles and/or large
renders.
For example, rendering an empty scene in 1080p at 1spp and 8x8 tiles goes
down from 9.22sec to 1.45sec on my laptop.

This also replaces the Use Alpha setting. We now have these alpha modes:
* Straight: store RGB and alpha channels separately with alpha acting as a
mask, also known as unassociated alpha.
* Premultiplied: transparent RGB pixels are multiplied by the alpha channel.
The natural format for renders.
* Channel Packed: different images are packed in the RGB and alpha channels,
and they should not influence each other. Channel packing is commonly used
by game engines to save memory.
* None: ignore alpha channel from the file and make image fully opaque.
Cycles OSL does not correctly support Channel Packed and None yet, we are
missing fine control over the OpenImageIO texture cache to do that.

This was already supported for Cycles shader nodes, but now also works for
Eevee and compositing nodes. Instead of a generic NodeCustomGroup, now
there is ShaderNodeCustomGroup and CompositorNodeCustomGroup that can be
subclassed and registered.

We already have different storages for cddata of verts, edges etc.,
'simply' do the same for the mask flags we use all around Blender code
to request some data, or limit some operation to some layers, etc.
Reason we need this is that some cddata types (like Normals) are
actually shared between verts/polys/loops, and we don’t want to generate
clnors everytime we request vnors!
As a side note, this also does final fix to T59338, which was the
trigger for this patch (need to request computed loop normals for
another mesh than evaluated one).

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

Some features are incompatible with multithreading and reliable evaluation
of dependencies. We are now removing them as part of a bigger cleanup to
fix bugs in keyframing and invalid animation evaluations.
* Dupliframes have been removed. This was a hack added before there were
more powerful features like the array modifier.
* Slow parent has been removed, never worked in 2.8. It was always
unreliable for use in production due to depending on whatever frame was
previously evaluated, which was not always the previous frame.
* Particle instanced objects used to have their transform evaluated at
the particle time. Now it always gets the current time transform.
* Boids can no longer do predictive avoidance of force field objects,
but still for other particles.
