- Hashed Alpha materials were outputing their alpha values even if the final pixel has no blending and thus no transparency.
- Opacity was not clamped when using "add closure" nodes.
We need to remove all transform to display during rendering for this to work. The float rect is then color managed when displayed.
This makes all interface colors wrongly displayed because they should be color managed when rendering.
This allows a duplicator (as known as dupli parent) to be in a visible
collection so its duplicated objects are visible, however while being
invisible for the final render.
An object that is a particle emitter is also considered a duplicator.
Many thanks for the reviewers for the extense feedback.

I had to make Eevee draw its scene in the scene pass (before it was doing it
in the background pass). This is not ideal since reference images require
a separation between scene and background.
But it's the best way to solve it now. Clay is working fine.
Users can change the group collection visibility in the outliner
when looking at groups.
Regular collections on the other hand don't have any special visibility control,
if you need a collection to be invisible during render, either don't link it
into the view layer used for F12, or disable it.
This includes:
* Updated unittests - update your lib/tests/layers folder.
* Subversion bump - branches be aware of that.
Note:
Although we are using eval_ctx to determine the visibility of a group collection
when rendering, the depsgraph is still using the same depsgraph for the viewport
and the render engine, so at the moment the render visibility is ignored.
Following next is a workaround for this separately to tag the groups before and
after rendering to tackle that.
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).
Before this patch, if one of the grid was updated (moved) only the subsequents evaluated grids had their level reset and had all their bounces recomputed.
It makes more sense to stick to DEG_iterator_object order in name, since we can
have functions to iterate over different entities and we want all of them to
have common prefix.
There is no reason to have such a long function, it is really easy to break it
down into a smaller ones, and call them from where needed. Makes them smaller
and easier to follow. Also avoids use of confusing goto's.
