This patch implements dumping images from cache to HDD.
The main goal of this system is to provide a means to achieve consistent playback speed mainly for strips that are not possible to preview in real time.
How to use:
Disk cache has own settings in user preferences for path to storage, size limit and compression level.
To use disk cache, you need to check `Use Disk Cache` box, set `Disk Cache Directory`, `Disk Cache Limit` and save or open existing .blend file.
By default sequencer output will be cached only. Manual setting is possible in cache panel.
Uses:
- Replacement or alternative for proxies. Disk cache will work with any strip type, supports float images as well.
- Storage for strip thumbnails.
- Less RAM needs to be allocated for preview cache
How it works:
Disk cache is extension of RAM cache. Every image, that is stored or deleted in RAM will be stored or deleted on HDD as well. Images can be compressed to save space and for use on slower drives. Compressed images are slower to write and read though.
Images are stored in bulk of 100 rendered frames per one file. This is to overcome slow file access time for large amount of files. Drawback is, that if one frame needs to be redrawn, all 100 frames are deleted.

To prepare for D6811 small changes were needed.
we can no longer undefine near/far since the windows
headers use those extensively.
some of the imbuf files need to include the windows
headers explicitly to make sure it builds.
Unlike Linux where fseek/tell will be either 32 or 64 bit
depending on the target platform, it will always be 32 bit
on windows.
We had some macro magic in BLI_winstuff.h that substituted
them for 64 bit versions, but that is upsetting the system
headers if they get included after BLI_winstuff.h which
is problematic for D6811.
This diff adds proper functions in blenlib and updates
all calls that were using the BLI_winstuff.h header to
gain 64 bit file IO.
note: Anything that was using the 32 bit versions (ie not
including BLI_winstuff.h) will still be using the 32 bit
versions, which is perhaps a good code quality Friday project.

Both the MS headers and blender headers define the HKEY
which gives all kind of inclusion order issues.
This diff renames all *KEY constants to EVT_*KEY to resolve
this conflict.

NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

A few thank you's:
* A huge shoutout to Ray Molenkamp for his help during the project - it would
have not been that successful without him!
* Sebastian Koenig and Simeon Conzendorf for testing and feedback!
* The reviewers, especially Brecht Van Lommel!
* Dalai Felinto for pushing and managing me to get this done ;)
* The OpenXR working group for providing an open standard. I think we're the
first bigger application to adopt OpenXR. Congratulations to them and
ourselves :)
This project started as a Google Summer of Code 2019 project - "Core Support of

This patch is (almost) a complete rewrite of workbench engine.
The features remain unchanged but the code quality is greatly improved.
Hair shading is brighter but also more correct.
This also introduce the concept of `DRWShaderLibrary` to make a simple

While it might be handy to have type-less functionality which is
similar to how C++ math is implemented it can not be easily achieved
with just preprocessor in a way which does not have side-effects on
wrong usage.
There macros where often used on a non-trivial expression, and there
was at least one usage where it was causing an actual side effect/bug
on Windows (see change around square_f(sh[index++]) in studiolight.c).
For such cases it is handy to have a function which is guaranteed to
have zero side-effects. The motivation behind actually removing the
macros is that there is already a way to do similar calculation. Also,
not having such macros is a way to guarantee that its usage is not
changed in a way which have side-effects and that it's not used as an
inspiration for cases where it should not be used.

`(size_t)(int * int)` will actually cast overflown integer to size_t,
which isn't what was intended here. Correct thing would be to cast
in the following manner `(size_t)int * int`.
In this particular case can as well use function which is designed to
allocate an array of memory without overflow.
As explained in T65568 by @LucaRood, the self collision system should exclude triangles that are connected by sewing springs.

The 'random' unit tests and some examples from the new boolean code
triggered asserts and crashes. This fixes those.
There is a new flag in the input that optionally disables a pass
over input to snap segment edges to other segments.
On Linux, precompiled libraries may be made with a glibc version that is
incompatible with the system libraries that Blender is built on. To solve
this we add a few -ffast-math symbols that can be missing.

This applies the change from T73348 fix to related functions.
Instead of checking against an epsilon to avoid divide by zero,
perform the division and check the result is finite.
This is needed since small faces can have an area under 'FLT_EPSILON',
and dividing by values close to zero can result in 'inf'.
Comparing the drive letter was case sensitive,
causing 'BLI_path_rel' to fail in common cases
(manually entering a lower case drive letter for example).
Surprisingly this issue dates back to 2005 and wasn't reported.
- Unlock property range.
- Use triangular noise to keep perceptual noise error more uniform.
Remap range to preserve perceptual intensity.
- Center noise distribution around 0 for GPU implementation because of
rounding.
- Do dithering after merging overlays.
Effect of using triangular noise is not really noticeable if you don't use
really low bitdepth. But doing a test in the shader were we artificially
reduce the bitdepth (`col = (col * 16) / 16;`) reveals the real difference.
