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 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

Metal shading language follows the C++ 14 standard and in some cases requires a greater level of explicitness than GLSL. There are also some small language differences:
- Explicit type-casts (C++ requirements)
- Explicit constant values (C++ requirements, e.g. floating point values using 0.0 instead of 0).
- Metal/OpenGL compatibility paths
- GLSL Function prototypes
- Explicit accessors for vector types when sampling textures.

Fix regression with roughness not masking reflections when not using
Screen Space raytracing.
The trick was to only evaluate one planar per pixel, the one with
the most influence. This should not be too limiting since this is what
we do for SSR.
Also change evaluation order do not apply occlusion on planars probes.
- Fix noise/banding artifact on distant geometry.
- Fix overshadowing on un-occluded surfaces at grazing angle producing "fresnel"
like shadowing. Some of it still appears but this is caused to the low number
of horizons per pixel.
- Improve performance by using a fixed number of samples and fixing the
sampling area size. A better sampling pattern is planned to recover
the lost precision on large AO radius.
- Improved normal reconstruction for the AO pass.
- Improve Bent Normal reconstruction resulting in less faceted look on
smoothed geometry.
- Add Thickness heuristic to avoid overshadowing of thin objects.
Factor is currently hardcoded.
- Add bent normal support to Glossy reflections.
- Change Glossy occlusion to give less light leaks from lightprobes.
It can overshadow on smooth surface but this should be mitigated by
using SSR.
- Use Bent Normal for rough Glossy surfaces.
- Occlusion is now correctly evaluated for each BSDF. However this does make
everything slower. This is mitigated by the fact the search is a lot faster
than before.
This changes the roughness mapping to better utilize the mip chain resolution.
This improves glossy reflections with small roughness.
Lightcache version bumped because old data does not have the same roughness
mapping and cannot be used.
This refactor was needed for some reasons:
- closure_lit_lib.glsl was unreadable and could not be easily extended to use new features.
- It was generating ~5K LOC for any shader. Slowing down compilation.
- Some calculations were incorrect and BSDF/Closure code had lots of workaround/hacks.
What this refactor does:
- Add some macros to define the light object loops / eval.
- Clear separation between each closures which now have separate files. Each closure implements the eval functions.
- Make principled BSDF a bit more correct in some cases (specular coloring, mix between glass and opaque).
- The BSDF term are applied outside of the eval function and on the whole lighting (was separated for lights before).
- Make light iteration last to avoid carrying more data than needed.
- Makes sure that all inputs are within correct ranges before evaluating the closures (use `safe_normalize` on normals).
- Making each BSDF isolated means that we might carry duplicated data (normals for instance) but this should be optimized by compilers.
- Makes Translucent BSDF its own closure type to avoid having to disable raytraced shadows using hacks.
- Separate transmission roughness is now working on Principled BSDF.
- Makes principled shader variations using constants. Removing a lot of duplicated code. This needed `const` keyword detection in `gpu_material_library.c`.
- SSR/SSS masking and data loading is a bit more consistent and defined outside of closure eval. The loading functions will act as accumulator if the lighting is not to be separated.
- SSR pass now do a full deferred lighting evaluation, including lights, in order to avoid interference with the closure eval code. However, it seems that the cost of having a global SSR toggle uniform is making the surface shader more expensive (which is already the case, by the way).
- Principle fully black specular tint now returns black instead of white.
- This fixed some artifact issue on my AMD computer on normal surfaces (which might have been some uninitialized variables).
- This touched the Ambient Occlusion because it needs to be evaluated for each closure. But to avoid the cost of this, we use another approach to just pass the result of the occlusion on interpolated normals and modify it using the bent normal for each Closure. This tends to reduce shadowing. I'm still looking into improving this but this is out of the scope of this patch.
- Performance might be a bit worse with this patch since it is more oriented towards code modularity. But not by a lot.
Render tests needs to be updated after this.

We implement cubemap array support for EEVEE's lightcache reflection probes.
This removes stretched texels and bottom hemisphere seams artifacts caused
by the octahedral projection previously used.
This introduce versioning code for the lightcache which will discard any
lightcache version that is not compatible.

This was the cause of some issue with normal mapping. This way is cleaner
since it does not modify the state of the drawcalls and other ad-hoc
solutions to fix the problems down the road. Unfortunately, it does require
to fix every sampling coordinate for this texture.
Fix T62215: flipped normals in reflection plane
This is a parameter that will make the interpolation between irradiance
cells of a same Irradiance Volume smoother, reducing the weight of the
light leaking correction factors.
It is usefull in some cases to avoid harsh lighting transition that can
happen when a sample point it near a surface.
This separate probe rendering from viewport rendering, making possible to
run the baking in another thread (non blocking and faster).
The baked lighting is saved in the blend file. Nothing needs to be
recomputed on load.
There is a few missing bits / bugs:
- Cache cannot be saved to disk as a separate file, it is saved in the DNA
for now making file larger and memory usage higher.
- Auto update only cubemaps does update the grids (bug).
- Probes cannot be updated individually (considered as dynamic).
- Light Cache cannot be (re)generated during render.
Patch D3205 by Kanzaki Wataru
Only implemented in Eevee for now. Collapse a closure to RGBA so we can
do NPR stuff on the resulting color.
Use an emission shader to convert the color back to a closure.
Doing this will break PBR and will kill any SSR and SSS effects the shader
the shader rely on. That said screen space refraction and ambient occlusion
are supported due to the way they are implemented.
This is an optimization / cleanup commit.
The use of a global ubo remove lots of uniform lookups and only transfert data when needed.
Lots of renaming for more consistent codestyle.
This augment the existing irradiance grid with a new visibility precomputation.
We store a small shadowmap for each grid sample so that light does not leak through walls and such.
The visibility parameter are similar to the one used by the Variance Shadow Map for point lights.
Technical details:
We store the visibility in the same texture (array) as the irradiance itself (in order to reduce the number of sampler).
But the irradiance and the visibility are not the same data so we must encode them in order to use the same texture format.
We use RGBA8 normalized texture and encode irradiance as RGBE (shared exponent).
Using RGBE encoding instead of R11_G11_B10 may lead to some lighting changes, but quality seems to be nearly the same in my test cases.
Using full RGBA16/32F maybe a future option but that will require much more memory and reduce the perf significantly.
Visibility moments (VSM) are encoded as 16bits fixed point precision using a special range. This seems to retain enough precision for the needs.
Also interpolation does not seems to be big problem (even though it's incorrect).
It now uses a quality slider instead of stride.
Lower quality takes larger strides between samples and use lower mips when tracing rough rays.
Now raytracing is done entierly in homogeneous coordinate space. This run much faster.
Should be fairly optimized. We are still Bandwidth bound.
Add a line-line intersection refine.
Add a ray jitter between the multiple ray per pixel to fill some undersampling in mirror reflections.
The tracing now stops if it goes behind an object. This needs some work to allow it to continue even if behind objects.
This add the possibility to use planar probe informations to create SSR.
This has 2 advantages:
- Tracing is less expensive since the hit is found much quicker.
- We have much less artifact due to missing information.
There is still area for improvement.
This commit separate the depth texture into another texture array.
This remove the need to output radial depth into alpha.
Unfortunatly it's difficult to recover position from the non linear depth buffer when applying reflection without adding a bunch of stuff.
This is in preparation of SSR planar reflections.
