Global scope arrays can incur suboptimal per-shader-thread memory allocations, resulting in excessive usage of limited local memory resources. These changes ensure that any arrays are limited to the closest scope in which they are required and thus will get correctly optimized by the compiler.
A number of constants have also been replaced with Macro's as these can result in better runtime performance for complex shader code.

A number of paths resulted in compilation errors after porting EEVEE to use Create-Info. Namely the fallback path for cubemap support. A number of other strict compilation failures regarding format comparison also required fixing when this mode is enabled.

Required by Metal backend for efficient shader compilation. EEVEE material
resource binding permutations now controlled via CreateInfo and selected
based on material options. Other existing CreateInfo's also modified to
ensure explicitness for depth-writing mode. Other missing bindings also
addressed to ensure full compliance with the Metal backend.

This change the attribute binding scheme to something similar to the
curves objects. Attributes are now buffer textures sampled per points.
The actual geometry is now rendered using an index buffer that avoid too
many vertex shader invocation.
Drawcall is wrapped in a DRW function to reduce complexity of future
changes.
This is part of the effor to simplify the View struct in order to implement
multiview rendering.
The CameraTexCoFactors being only valid for a single view, and being only
used in very few places, it make sense to move it to the engine side.
This also removes the need to compute the persmat and saves some memory
from the `ViewInfos` struct. This is needed to allow multiview support.
Initial testing found no major performance regression during vertex
heavy workload.

Fix for T101438
Clamping the mip seems to always set it to 9.0.
I couldn't find an alternative way to avoid triggering the error (ie. min(mip, 9.0)).
In any case, the results with this patch applied look the same to the (correct) ones on AMD.
And, since clamping the max mip to a hardcoded value could result in resolution-depended behavior, I guess disabling the clamp should be ok anyway.

This was caused by the vertical/horizontal clasification being done in
NDC space which wasn't respecting the Aspect ratio.
Multiplying the test vector by the target size fixes the issue.
This reverts commit 34051fcc12.
Although for normal use this doesn't make a difference. But when working with
huge scenes and volumetrics + NVIDIA it made a work-around not possible anymore.
For the heist production we added a fix on the render-farm (enable GPU workarounds).
{rB34051fcc12f388375697dcfc6da53e9909058fe1} made another work-around not
accessible anymore and it and was requested to revert this change.
On NVIDIA volumetric resolve failed for large production scenes.
The result would remove most color from the final render. The cause
seems to be a faulty driver.
This change ported the fragment shader to a compute shader which
would select a different compiler branch and didn't show the error.
It was using normalized vector instead of `viewCameraVec` which account for
orthographic views.

This replaces the direct shader uniform layout declaration by a linear
search through a global buffer.
Each instance has an attribute offset inside the global buffer and an
attribute count.
This removes any padding and tighly pack all uniform attributes inside
a single buffer.
This would also remove the limit of 8 attribute but it is kept because of
compatibility with the old system that is still used by the old draw
manager.
This was caused by un-wanted normalization. This is a requirement of
the MikkTspace. The issue is that g_data.N is expected to be normalized
by many other functions and overriden by bump displacement.
Adding a new global variable containing the interpolated normal fixes the
issue AND make it match cycles behavior better (mix between bump and
interpolated normal).
This was preventing correct attribute rendering with multiple attributes.
Since the `CurveInfos` struct is used for data sharing between C++ and
GLSL and inside a UBO it needs to obey the `std140` alignment rules which
states that arrays of scalars are padded to the size of `vec4` for each
array entry.
Since the occlusion input is going to be removed in EEVEE-Next, I just
added a temporary workaround. The occlusion is passed as SSS radius
as the Specular BSDF does not use it.
The final result matches 3.1 release
This bug was unreported. This was triggering a linking error caused by
the vertex shader not having a local version of `attr_load_temperature_post`
and `attr_load_color_post`.
This adds support to render Curves attributes in EEVEE.
Each attribute is stored in a texture derived from a VBO. As the
shading group needs the textures to be valid upon creation, the
attributes are created and setup during its very creation, instead
of doing it lazily via create_requested which we cannot rely on
anyway as contrary to the mesh batch, we do cannot really tell if
attributes need to be updated or else via some `DRW_batch_requested`.
Since point attributes need refinement, and since attributes are all
cast to vec4/float4 to account for differences in type conversions
between Blender and OpenGL, the refinement shader for points is
used as is. The point attributes are stored for each subdivision level
in CurvesEvalFinalCache. Each subdivision level also keeps track of the
attributes already in use so they are properly updated when needed.
Some basic garbage collection was added similar to what is done
for meshes: if the attributes used over time have been different
from the currently used attributes for too long, then the buffers
are freed, ensuring that stale attributesare removed.
This adds `CurvesInfos` to the shader creation info, which stores
the scope in which the attributes are defined. Scopes are stored
as booleans, in an array indexed by attribute loading order which
is also the order in which the attributes were added to the material.
A mapping is necessary between the indices used for the scoping, and
the ones used in the Curves cache, as this may contain stale
attributes which have not been garbage collected yet.
Common utilities with the mesh code for handling requested
attributes were moved to a separate file.
