Although viewport compositor isn't supported yet on Apple deviced the
shaderlibs are compiled. The compositor shaders uses mat3 constructor
with a single vec3 and 6 floats. This constructor wasn't defined in
metal so it failed the compilation.
This patch adds the override to mat3.
* Add missing constructor for squared matrix types.
* Use using instead of define for typenames.
* Add `==, !=, unary-` operators
* Catch all functional style constructors inside the regex
Add required additional_info to shader using gpu_shader_point_uniform_color_aa_frag.glsl. This is the only other reference to the shader which requires the additional_info to be added.

(MacOS) only: In the System tab of the user preferences the user has the
ability to select a GPU backend that Blender will use. After changing
the GPU backend setting, the user has to restart Blender before the
setting is used.
It was added to start collecting feedback on the Metal backend without
using the command lines.
By default Blender will select OpenGL as backend. When Metal is selected
(via `--gpu-backend metal` or via user preferences) OpenGL will be used as
fallback when the platform isn't capable of running Metal.
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.

Attributes are unifying around a name-based API, and we would like to
be able to move away from CustomData in the future. This patch moves
the identification of active and fallback (render) color attributes
to strings on the mesh from flags on CustomDataLayer. This also
removes some ugliness used to retrieve these attributes and maintain
the active status.
The design is described more here: T98366
The patch keeps forward compatibility working until 4.0 with
the same method as the mesh struct of array refactors (T95965).
The strings are allowed to not correspond to an attribute, to allow
setting the active/default attribute independently of actually filling
its data. When applying a modifier, if the strings don't match an
attribute, they will be removed.
The realize instances / join node and join operator take the names from
the first / active input mesh. While other heuristics may be helpful
(and could be a future improvement), just using the first is simple
and predictable.

This adds a new mirror image extension type for shaders and
geometry nodes (next to the existing repeat, extend and clip
options).
See D16432 for a more detailed explanation of `wrap_mirror`.
This also adds a new sampler flag `GPU_SAMPLER_MIRROR_REPEAT`.
It acts as a modifier to `GPU_SAMPLER_REPEAT`, so any `REPEAT`
flag must be set for the `MIRROR` flag to have an effect.

PBVH draw code now builds coarse triangle index buffers
for multires. Note that the coarse grids can be at any
multires depth but is currently hardcoded to 1.
Compile each static shader using shaderc to Spir-V binaries.
The main goal is to make sure that the GLSL created using ShaderCreateInfo and able to compile to Spir-V.
For the second stage a correct pipeline needs to be created and some shader would need more
adjustments (push constants size).
With this patch future changes to GLSL sources can already be checked against vulkan, without the
backend finished.
Mechanism has been tested using MacOS and MoltenVK. For other OS, we should finetune CMake
files to find the right location to shaderc.

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.

A utility function retrieved mesh arrays for every element after

saves 0.1ms per PBVH node. There may be very slight improvements
in line art and shrinkwrap as well.
This new inheritance behavior is more beneficial for the metal Backend.
Also change the default depth write behavior of shaders to be unchanged.
This makes fragment shader depth amendment more explicit.
