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.
- NOCHECK -> ALL
- ALL -> MAYBE_ALL
Where 'MAYBE_ALL' checks to see if the mesh has changed.
This is clearer that `BKE_MESH_BATCH_DIRTY_ALL` is dirty and
going to be updated without any guess-work.
This also renames some flags/variables to be more generic for updating
purposes. The call used here was previously only used for updating
paint data, but as it was reused here, flags and variables were renamed
to accomodate more clearly to the new usages.
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.
This implements weight rendering with the draw manager, with all drawing
options (Shading, wire, face masking, vertex masking).

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.
