Texture usage flags can now be provided during texture creation specifying
the ways in which a texture can be used. This allows the GPU backends to
perform contextual optimizations which were not previously possible. This
includes enablement of hardware lossless compression which can result in
a 15%+ performance uplift for bandwidth-limited scenes on hardware such
as Apple-Silicon using Metal.
GPU_TEXTURE_USAGE_GENERAL can be used by default if usage is not known
ahead of time. Patch will also be relevant for the Vulkan backend.

This is a new implementation of the draw manager using modern
rendering practices and GPU driven culling.
This only ports features that are not considered deprecated or to be
removed.
The old DRW API is kept working along side this new one, and does not
interfeer with it. However this needed some more hacking inside the
draw_view_lib.glsl. At least the create info are well separated.
The reviewer might start by looking at `draw_pass_test.cc` to see the
API in usage.
Important files are `draw_pass.hh`, `draw_command.hh`,
`draw_command_shared.hh`.
In a nutshell (for a developper used to old DRW API):
- `DRWShadingGroups` are replaced by `Pass<T>::Sub`.
- Contrary to DRWShadingGroups, all commands recorded inside a pass or
sub-pass (even binds / push_constant / uniforms) will be executed in order.
- All memory is managed per object (except for Sub-Pass which are managed
by their parent pass) and not from draw manager pools. So passes "can"
potentially be recorded once and submitted multiple time (but this is
not really encouraged for now). The only implicit link is between resource
lifetime and `ResourceHandles`
- Sub passes can be any level deep.
- IMPORTANT: All state propagate from sub pass to subpass. There is no
state stack concept anymore. Ensure the correct render state is set before
drawing anything using `Pass::state_set()`.
- The drawcalls now needs a `ResourceHandle` instead of an `Object *`.
This is to remove any implicit dependency between `Pass` and `Manager`.
This was a huge problem in old implementation since the manager did not
know what to pull from the object. Now it is explicitly requested by the
engine.
- The pases need to be submitted to a `draw::Manager` instance which can
be retrieved using `DRW_manager_get()` (for now).
Internally:
- All object data are stored in contiguous storage buffers. Removing a lot
of complexity in the pass submission.
- Draw calls are sorted and visibility tested on GPU. Making more modern
culling and better instancing usage possible in the future.
- Unit Tests have been added for regression testing and avoid most API
breakage.
- `draw::View` now contains culling data for all objects in the scene
allowing caching for multiple views.
- Bounding box and sphere final setup is moved to GPU.
- Some global resources locations have been hardcoded to reduce complexity.
What is missing:
- ~~Workaround for lack of gl_BaseInstanceARB.~~ Done
- ~~Object Uniform Attributes.~~ Done (Not in this patch)
- Workaround for hardware supporting a maximum of 8 SSBO.

This new implementation does all downsampling in a single compute shader
dispatch, removing a lot of complexity from the previous recursive
downsampling.
This is heavilly inspired by the Single-Pass-Downsampler from GPUOpen:
https://github.com/GPUOpen-Effects/FidelityFX-SPD
However I do not implement all the optimization bits as they require
vulkan (GL_KHR_shader_subgroup) and is not as versatile (it is only
for HiZ).
Timers inside renderdoc report ~0.4ms of saving on a 2048*1024 render for
the whole downsampling. Note that the previous implementation only
processed 6 mips where the new one processes 8 mips.
```
EEVEE ~1.0ms
EEVEE-Next ~0.6ms
```
Padding has been bumped to be of 128px for processing 8 mips.
A new debug option has been added (debug value 2) to validate the HiZ.
This removes the quirk of having to call the sync function for each new
render loop.

This is to make the codegen and shading nodes object type agnostic. This
is essential for flexibility of the engine to use the nodetree as it see
fits.
The essential volume attributes struct properties are moved to the
`GPUMaterialAttribute` which see its final input name set on creation.
The binding process is centralized into `draw_volume.cc` to avoid
duplicating the code between multiple engines. It mimics the hair attributes
process.
Volume object grid transforms and other per object uniforms are packed into
one UBO per object. The grid transform is now based on object which simplify
the matrix preparations.
This also gets rid of the double transforms and use object info orco factors
for volume objects.
Tagging @brecht because he did the initial implementation of Volume Grids.
- Add name support to storage buffers
- Delete view functions for TextureFromPool
- Add support for different size acquire and assert on mulitple acquire
- Allow multiple release
This means textures need to have the number of mipmap levels specified
upfront. It does not mean the data is immutable.
There is fallback code for OpenGL < 4.2.
Immutable storage will enables texture views in the future.

- Fix assert on size.
- Fix void * casting.
- Pass extent by values.
- Add swap function to avoid letting the types copyable.
- Add back the GPUTexture * operator on TextureFromPool.
This adds wrapper classes that make it easier to use GPU objects in C++.
####Motivations:####
- Easier handling of GPU objects.
- EEVEE rewrite already makes use of similar wrappers.
- There is the ongoing effort to use more C++ in the codebase
and lans to port more engines to it.
- The shader code refactor will make use of many UBOs with shared
struct declaration. This helps managing them.
- Safer handling of `TextureFromPool` which can't be bound as normal
texture (only texture ref) and can be better tracked in the future.
####Considerations:####
- I chose the `blender::draw` namespace because `blender::gpu` already has private classes (i.e: `gpu::Texture`).
- Theses are wrappers that manage a GPU object internally. They might be confused with actual `Texture`. However, the name `TextureWrapper` is a bit too much verbose in my opinion. I'm open to suggestion about better name.
