For simplicity we choose to execute the rendering of Opengl engines in the main thread and block the interface.
This might be addressed in the future at least for video rendering.
A drawmanager wrapper (DRW_render_to_image) is called by the render pipeline to set up the Opengl state and then call the specific draw_engine->render_to_image function.
-Use 11_11_10 buffers for hdr content.
-Eevee compositing share 1 buffer if bloom and DOF are both activated.
-Fix slowdown when resizing EEVEE viewport.
-Removed DRW_BUF_*** enums causing confusion.
This add a new set of (possible) render settings that can be defined at
the scene level and overridable at the scene layer level.
Once we get workspaces we can either add workspace inbetween scene and
scene layer evaluation. Or to replace layer settings, to avoid extra
confusion to users.
An example of this setting is "samples", as implemented now for the clay
engine.
Was performing context access per object for scene, region etc.
While not very slow they don't change during drawing so cache in a struct.
This also makes it possible to draw in views besides the current context.
Same as MEM_SAFE_FREE macro,
checks for NULL, runs free then sets NULL.
Blocks of code that do this many times are noisy and likely
errors here wouldn't be noticed immediately.
Also NULL's static vars which were being left set.
This removes MAX_STORAGE, MAX_BUFFERS, MAX_TEXTURES, MAX_PASSES limits.
Actual memory saving isn't so important, it just means we don't need to
manually bump these based on changes to engines.
First this replace a custom data struct with IDProperty, and use
IDProperty group merge and copying functions. Which means that a collection
property setting is only created if necessary.
This implements the "Layer Collection settings" override system, as
suggested in the "Override Manifesto" document.
The core is working, with Scene, LayerCollection and Object using a
single IDProperty to store all the render settings data. Next step is to
migrate this to depsgraph.
Note: Clay engine "ssao_samples" was hardcoded to 32 for now. It will come
back as part of "Workspace Settings" later.
Many thanks for Bastien Montagne for the help with the UI template
nightmare ;)

It also adds nice occluded silouhette information for selected objects that are behind visible objects.
This methods is really heavy because it needs to render the wires twices.
All engines are now called by the draw manager. Engines are separate entities that cannot interfer with each others.
Also separated draw_mode_pass.c into the mode engines.
