Rewrite of the Workbench engine using C++ and the new Draw Manager API.
The new engine can be enabled in Blender `Preferences > Experimental > Workbench Next`.
After that, the engine can be selected in `Properties > Scene > Render Engine`.
When `Workbench Next` is the active engine, it also handles the `Solid` viewport mode rendering.
The rewrite aims to be functionally equivalent to the current Workbench engine, but it also includes some small fixes/tweaks:
- `In Front` rendered objects now work correctly with DoF and Shadows.
- The `Sampling > Viewport` setting is actually used when the viewport is in `Render Mode`.
- In `Texture` mode, textured materials also use the material properties. (Previously, only non textured materials would)
To do:
- Sculpt PBVH.
- Volume rendering.
- Hair rendering.
- Use the "no_geom" shader versions for shadow rendering.
- Decide the final API for custom visibility culling (Needed for shadows).
- Profile/optimize.
Known Issues:
- Matcaps are not loaded until they’re shown elsewhere. (e.g. when opening the `Viewort Shading` UI)
- Outlines are drawn between different materials of the same object. (Each material submesh has its own object handle)

When pasting nodes with the shortcut or the context menu, place the
center of the selected nodes at the same position as the mouse cursor.
This should save time, and is more intuitive because the new nodes are
actually visible.

Always position the nodes added with the node search at the point where
the search operator was invoked by ensuring the operator context is the
main node editor region.
This was an unintended change of rBbdb57541475f, caused by the operator
now getting the cursor position in region space. So when the operator
was called from the menu, it would get the cursor position in the
region space of the menu, which lead to an offset when adding the node
since it expected the coordinates to be in the space of the node editor.
Setting the correct operator context also fixes inconsistent transform
sensitivity depending on zoom when adding nodes via the search in the
menu which has been an issue since as far back as Blender 2.79.
Also includes a small fix for the vertical offset of nodes added by the
search which varied depending on the UI scale. Same fix as in
rB998ffcbf096e.

The Node Context Menu contains options that are not always available for
the selected nodes, and misses important entries for accesibility.
This patch covers the following:
* Add operators to join and remove nodes from frames.
* Sort and group entries more logically and follow Blender conventions.
* Add `Insert into Group`
* Show group actions only on nodes that support it.
* Move all toggles to a sub-menu called `Show/Hide`.
* When nothing is selected, show Add menu, links actions, and paste.

At the cost of slightly more boilerplate code, we can avoid the `NodeItem`

#### Motivation
The View pie menu is a convenient way to access operators such as `Frame Selected` and `Frame All` which are usually mapped to `PERIOD` or `HOME` keys on the right side of most keyboard, making it hard hard to reach with the left hand.
The motivation for this patch comes from working with a 75% keyboard (no numpad). Most laptops face a similar problem.
#### Implementation
The View pie menu has been added to the following editors and sub-modes where applicable:
* Node Editor
* Video Sequencer
* Dopesheet
* Graph
* NLA
* Image
* Clip
* Outliner
More options could definitely be added to this menu for convenience, as long as it maintains the common options in the same place (Frame Selected on the left, Frame All on the right).
For positioning I went with the following layout:
{F11791186, size=full}
I've added `Zoom 1:1`to the Image Editor and the VSE Preview since there is no way to reset the zoom on keyboards without numpad (unless Emulate Numpad is turned on).
The Outliner uses `Show Active` and `Show Hierarchy` which are the closest ones to the equivalent in other editors. Should `Show Active` be renamed to `Frame Selected`?
The shortcut assigned is the same as the 3D Viewport (`ACCENT_GRAVE`).

modifier, the user can choose an attribute name. The attribute

This patch adds the base code needed to make the full-frame system work for both current tiled/per-pixel implementation of operations and full-frame.
Two execution models:
- Tiled: Current implementation. Renders execution groups in tiles from outputs to input. Not all operations are buffered. Runs the tiled/per-pixel implementation.
- FullFrame: All operations are buffered. Fully renders operations from inputs to outputs. Runs full-frame implementation of operations if available otherwise the current tiled/per-pixel. Creates output buffers on first read and free them as soon as all its readers have finished, reducing peak memory usage of complex/long trees. Operations are multi-threaded but do not run in parallel as Tiled (will be done in another patch).
This should allow us to convert operations to full-frame in small steps with the system already working and solve the problem of high memory usage.
FullFrame breaking changes respect Tiled system, mainly:
- Translate, Rotate, Scale, and Transform take effect immediately instead of next buffered operation.
- Any sampling is always done over inputs instead of last buffered operation.

This patch adds the ability to mute individual wires in the node editor.
This is invoked like the cut links operator but with a new shortcut.
Mute = Ctrl + Alt
Cut = Ctrl
Dragging over wires will toggle the mute state for that wire.
The muted wires are drawn in red with a bar across the center.
Red is used in the nodes context to indicate invalid links, muted links and internal links.
When a wire is muted it exposes the original node buttons which are normally hidden when a wire is connected.
Downstream and upstream links connected using reroute nodes are also muted.
Outside scope of patch:
- Add support for pynodes e.g. Animation Nodes
- Requires minor change to check for muted links using the `is_muted` link property or the `is_linked` socket property.

Previously the colors were on the right for outputs, but this is now
unecessary because of the organization in separate panels after
rBb1d1a58c77fb1658.
In some operators that previously allowed duplicating the selected data-block,
the operator would not be available now. 2250b5cefe split the "new" operators
into "new" and "delete" to allow clearly differentiating between the two. But I
apparently didn't amend all affected data-block selectors to use the added
"duplicate" operators.
I went over all operators that were split now and made sure all affected
data-block selectors are updated.
This is the initial merge from the geometry-nodes branch.
Nodes:
* Attribute Math
* Boolean
* Edge Split
* Float Compare
* Object Info
* Point Distribute
* Point Instance
* Random Attribute
* Random Float
* Subdivision Surface
* Transform
* Triangulate
It includes the initial evaluation of geometry node groups in the Geometry Nodes modifier.
Notes on the Generic attribute access API
The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits:
* Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally.
This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes
such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs
such as vertex positions.
* When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the
attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that
that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not
actually implemented yet).
Other possible improvements for later iterations include:
* Actually implement interpolation between domains.
* Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read
access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways
in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal
structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different
storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection.
* Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.
It includes commits from:
* Dalai Felinto
* Hans Goudey
* Jacques Lucke
* Léo Depoix
Multiple related issues:
* `view_zoomdrag_exec()` required `view_zoomdrag_init()` to be called first to
set up data. Can now easily be done in the `_exec()` function as well though.
* Because of that the operators could not be called in an `EXEC_` context (e.g.
`EXEC_REGION_WIN`).
* With "Zoom to Mouse Position" enabled, zooming from a menu or script would
zoom to the mouse position. That should only happen if the operators are
called directly in the editor.
Currently, the search operator in the node add menu NODE_MT_add is drawn
even if no node categories exists. This patch only draws the operator if
at least one node category passes the poll.
This patch is needed because some add-ons use custom search operator and
do not register node categories. In this case, it is undesirable to have
a search operator drawn that do nothing and is not used. One such add-on
is Animation Nodes.
