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 the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.
Regex find and replace: `UNUSED\((\w+)\)` -> `/*$1*/`
MTLFrameBuffer has been implemented to support creation of RenderCommandEncoders, along with supporting functionality in the Metal Context.
Optimisation stubs for GPU_framebuffer_bind_ext has been added, which enables specific assignment of attachment load-store ops at the bind level, rather than on a framebuffer object as a whole.
Begin and end frame markers are used to encapsulate frame boundaries for explicit workload submission. This is required for explicit APIs where implicit flushing of work does not occur.

This addresses reduced visibility of scenes (as displayed in the VR
headset) that can result from the 8-bit color depth format currently
used for XR swapchain images.
By switching to a swapchain format with higher color depth (RGB10_A2,
RGBA16, RGBA16F) for supported runtimes, visibility in VR should be
noticeably improved.
However, current limitations are lack of support for these higher
color depth formats by some XR runtimes, especially for OpenGL.
Also important to note that GPU_offscreen_create() now explicitly
takes in the texture format (eGPUTextureFormat) instead of a
"high_bitdepth" boolean.

The crash happens because `GPU_offscreen_create` is called with `err_out` `NULL`.
This patch proposes a solution within the `GPU_offscreen_create` itself
and raises an error report in the interface if a menu is called with
dimensions beyond what is supported.

Instead of creating different python wrappers for the same GPU object,
return the same `PyObject` created earlier.
This also allows for more secure access to existing GPU objects.

Modernize loops by using the `for(type variable : container)` syntax.
Some loops were trivial to fix, whereas others required more attention
to avoid semantic changes. I couldn't address all old-style loops, so
this commit doesn't enable the `modernize-loop-convert` rule.
Although Clang-Tidy's auto-fixer prefers to use `auto` for the loop
variable declaration, I made as many declarations as possible explicit.
To me this increases local readability, as you don't need to fully
understand the container in order to understand the loop variable type.
No functional changes.
This makes the GPUContext follow the same naming convention as the rest
of the module.
Also add a static getter for extra bonus style (no need for casts):
- Context::get()
- GLContext::get()
- Use the syntactic wrap/unwrap method to make code more readable.
- Update comment about hidden struct behind opaque types.
- Cleanup GPUDrawList type.
This is to modernize the API:
- Add meaningful name to all textures (except DRW textures).
- Remove unused err_out argument: only used for offscreen python.
- Add mipmap count to creation functions for future changes.
- Clarify the data usage in creation functions.
This is a cleanup commit, there is no functional change.

This is in preparation of using it to clear single texture.
Also includes minor cleanups about not using tex target in
assert and adding enum operators.
This way it is way clearer what each viewport state is. There is
no more save and reset. The scissor test is also saved per
framebuffer.
The only rule to remember is that the viewport state (size and
origin) is reset for both the viewport and scissor when a texture
is attached or detached from an attachment slot.
