This patch allows the realtime compositor to be limited to a specific
compositing region that is a subset of the full render region. In the
context of the viewport compositor, when the viewport is in camera view
and has a completely opaque passepartout, the compositing region will be
limited to the visible camera region.
On the user-level, this gives the user the ability to make the result of
the compositor invariant of the aspect ratio, shift, and zoom of the
viewport, making the result in the viewport identical to the final
render compositor assuming size relative operations.
It should be noted that compositing region is the *visible* camera
region, that is, the result of the intersection of the camera region and
the render region. So the user should be careful not to shift or zoom
the view such that the camera border extends outside of the viewport to
have the aforementioned benefits. While we could implement logic to fill
the areas outside of the render region with zeros in some cases, there
are many other ambiguous cases where such a solution wouldn't work,
including the problematic case where the user zooms in very close,
making the camera region much bigger than that of the render region.

This patch implements the Streaks Glare node. Which is an approximation
to the existing implementation in the CPU compositor. The difference due
to the approximation is bearily visible in artificial test cases, but is
less visible in actual use cases. Since the difference is rather similar
to that we discussed in the Simple Star mode, the decision to allow that
difference would probably hold here.
For the future, we can look into approximating this further using a
closed form IIR recursive filter with parallel interconnection and
block-based parallelism. That's because the streak filter is already
very similar to the causal pass of a fourth order recursive filter,
just with exponential steps.

This patch implements the variable size mode of the blur node. This is
not identical to the CPU implementation, but is visually very close.
That's because of two things. First, the Extend Bounds option introduces
a 2px offset that doesn't make sense, which is likely a bug in the CPU
implementation. Second, the CPU implementation approximate the result
using three passes, the first two of which are separable morphological
operators applied on the size input. But this approximation does not
provide an advantage because the last pass is non-separable anyways. So
the GPU implementation does not attempt this approximation for more
accurate and faster results.

This patch implements the Simple Star Glare node. This is only an approximation
of the existing implementation in the CPU compositor, an approximation that
removes the row-column dependency in the original algorithm, yielding an order
of magnitude faster computations. The difference due to the approximation is
readily visible in artificial test cases, but is less visible in actual use
cases, so it was agreed that this approximation is worthwhile.
For the future, we can look into approximating this further using a closed form
IIR recursive filter with parallel interconnection and block-based parallelism.
Which is expected to yield another order of magnitude faster computations.
The different passes can potentially be combined into a single shader with some
preprocessor tricks, but doing that complicated that code in a way that makes
it difficult to experiment with future optimizations, so I decided to leave it
as is for now.

This patch implements the Ghost Glare node. It is implemented using
direct convolution as opposed to a recursive one, which produces
slightly different results---more accurate ones, however, since the
ghosts are attenuated where it matters, the difference is barely
visible and is acceptable as far as I can tell.
A possible performance improvement is to implement all passes in a
single shader dispatch, where an array of all scales and color
modulators is computed recursively on the host then used in the shader
to add all ghosts, avoiding usage of global memory and unnecessary
copies. This optimization will be implemented separately.

This cache was never written to, only "copied" between sockets in one
case, it dates back at least a decade. It doesn't make sense to store
caches on node trees directly anyway, since they can be used in
multiple places.
The main goal here is to move towards more self contained node
definitions. Previously, one would have to change `blenkernel` to
add a new node which is not necessary anymore. There is no need
for all these register functions to "leak out" of the nodes module.

* This patch just moves runtime data to the runtime struct to cleanup
the dna struct. Arguably, some of this data should not even be there
because it's very use case specific. This can be cleaned up separately.
* `miniwidth` was removed completely, because it was not used anywhere.
The corresponding rna property `width_hidden` is kept to avoid
script breakage, but does not do anything (e.g. node wrangler sets it).
* Since rna is in C, some helper functions where added to access the
C++ runtime data from rna.
* This size of `bNode` decreases from 432 to 368 bytes.
This patch introduces the concept of a Cached Resource that can be
cached across compositor evaluations as well as used by multiple
operations in the same evaluation. Additionally, this patch implements a
new structure for the realtime compositor, the Static Cache Manager,
that manages all the cached resources and deletes them when they are no
longer needed.
This improves responsiveness while adjusting compositor node trees and
also conserves memory usage.

Currently, the scale node always changes the interpolation of its result
to bilinear. This was done because the scale node does not have an
interpolation option, unlike the Transform node, so a default of
bilinear was assumed. This turned out to be problematic, because in the
pixelation use cases, a nearest interpolation is typically preferred by
the user.
This patch changes the default interpolation of input nodes to bilinear,
makes the scale node keep the interpolation of the input it receives,
and makes the pixelate node changes the interpolation to nearest. In
effect, for non-pixelation use cases, the default bilinear interpolation
will be used, and for pixelation use cases, the nearest interpolation
will be used unless explicitly specified using a node that sets the
interpolation.
Currently there is no way to tell that these node types are deprecated
in the UI. This commit adds "(Legacy)" to the end of the names.
It also makes it simple to skip these in the various node searches
more automatically than before.

This patch implements the variable size blur option in the Bokeh Blur
node. The implementation is different from the CPU one in that it also
takes the Bounding Box input into account, which is ignored for some
reason for the CPU. Additionally, this implementation does not do the
optimization where the search radius is limited relative to the maximum
value in the size texture. That's because the cost of computing the
maximum is not worth it for most use cases.
The reference implementation does three unexpected things that are
replicated here nonetheless. First, the center bokeh weight is always
ignored and assumed to be 1. Second the size of the center pixel is
taken into account. Third, a unidimensional distance is used instead of
a 2D euclidean one. Those need to be considered independently.

The purpose of `NodeTreeRef` was to speed up various queries on a read-only
`bNodeTree`. Not that we have runtime data in nodes and sockets, we can also
store the result of some queries there. This has some benefits:
* No need for a read-only separate node tree data structure which increased
complexity.
* Makes it easier to reuse cached queries in more parts of Blender that can
benefit from it.
A downside is that we loose some type safety that we got by having different
types for input and output sockets, as well as internal and non-internal links.
This patch also refactors `DerivedNodeTree` so that it does not use
`NodeTreeRef` anymore, but uses `bNodeTree` directly instead.
To provide a convenient API (that is also close to what `NodeTreeRef` has), a
new approach is implemented: `bNodeTree`, `bNode`, `bNodeSocket` and `bNodeLink`
now have C++ methods declared in `DNA_node_types.h` which are implemented in
`BKE_node_runtime.hh`. To make this work, `makesdna` now skips c++ sections when
parsing dna header files.
No user visible changes are expected.
