color in GLSL
Issue here is that intermediate result was clipped as an optimization in
such nodes and thus not converted to the correct type properly. Now only
clip those values if types match.
This keeps both the optimization and the conversion. I looked at
converting uniform types always but it's more involved to compare types
at conversion time for such links because the type was getting
overridden during link duplication.
Most of this patch was created by Daniel Stokes, I'm mostly just cleaning
it up and testing it. Still todo: hardness. I need to figure out how to
handle the integer -> float conversion on a dynamic uniform.

If we fail allocating a proxy texture don't fail, instead create a
smaller nearest filtered image to display in its place.
This can make viewing slow (it's an extra O^3 operation), but this will
probably help us render the tornado in 3D viewport in gooseberry and
still actually see something - despite the rendering taking longer.
I've added a debug print so we can know when this happens.
That was really crappy indeed. Now we have a separate API
for low level OpenGL programs, plus a nice interface for GPU, also
removes some GL calls from main code as a plus :)
The source for the programs is also moved to nice external .glsl files
(not sure which extension convention GPU assemply uses)

Implemented Features
====================
Builtin Stereo Camera
* Convergence Mode
* Interocular Distance
* Convergence Distance
* Pivot Mode
Viewport
* Cameras
* Plane
* Volume
Compositor
* View Switch Node
* Image Node Multi-View OpenEXR support
Sequencer
* Image/Movie Strips 'Use Multiview'
UV/Image Editor
* Option to see Multi-View images in Stereo-3D or its individual images
* Save/Open Multi-View (OpenEXR, Stereo3D, individual views) images
I/O
* Save/Open Multi-View (OpenEXR, Stereo3D, individual views) images
Scene Render Views
* Ability to have an arbitrary number of views in the scene
Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

ATI driver does not like declaration of gl_FragColor and glFragData in
the same source file (even though only one of the two is ever
referenced), just use one of the two.
and on screen rendering.
Aaaaah, the beauty of driver implementations of OpenGL!
Turns out the problem here is that drivers calculate df/dy differently
in some cases (probably because OpenGL counts y reverse to how the
window system does, so drivers can get confused).
Fixed this for the ATI case based on info we have so far, there's also
the Intel case which will be handled separately (missing info on Intel's
renderer string etc).
Unfortunately we can't really fix this for the general case so we'll
have to haldle cases as they come in our tracker and by adding silly
string comparisons in our GPU initialization module <sigh>.
This patch will fix the color management for the mist and global ambient color.
It will remove the old "Color Management" switch in the BGE "Render > Shading" panel and will use the "Display Device" setting in the "Scene > Color Management" panel instead.

Count line from beginning of the whole shader source instead of each
string sepatately since it helps with finding out the error line in most
tested platforms
Quite a few things wrong here:
* Mac did not support EXT_draw_instanced, only ARB_draw_instanced
* Draw instanced did not work unless data came from vertex buffer, which
is second time we see weird things with vertex arrays in mac
* There were a few stupid mistakes by me as well, such as binding to
uniform locations for the wrong shaders (it's a wonder it ever worked
:p)
A new checkbox "High quality" is provided in camera settings to enable
this. This creates a depth of field that is much closer to the rendered
result and even supports aperture blades in the effect, but it's more
expensive too. There are optimizations to do here since the technique is
very fill rate heavy.
People, be careful, this -can- lock up your screen if depth of field
blurring is too extreme.
Technical details:
This uses geometry shaders + instancing and is an adaptation of
techniques gathered from

TODOs:
* Support dithering to minimize banding.
* Optimize fill rate in geometry shader.
Using bool when we're asking yes/no questions such as whether some GPU
feature is supported.
Consolidated these simple functions into gpu_extensions.c and grouped
them in the header.
Const-ified some args where the functions don't modify the pointed-to
data.
