In blender 2.79 you could use a render result as a camera background
image. This is useful during layout/compositing. During Blender 2.80
development there were 2 issues introduced that removed this feature.
* to receive a render result the image required a lock. This lock wasn't passed and therefore no image was read from the result. Generating an GPUTexture from an Blender image also didn't do the locking.
* the iuser->scene field wasn't set what is required for render results.
This change adds an optional `ibuf` parameter to `GPU_texture_from_blender` that can be passed when available.

Based on @fclem's suggestion in D6421, this commit implements support for
storing all tiles of a UDIM texture in a single 2D array texture on the GPU.
Previously, Eevee was binding one OpenGL texture per tile, quickly running
into hardware limits with nontrivial UDIM texture sets.
Workbench meanwhile had no UDIM support at all, as reusing the per-tile
approach would require splitting the mesh by tile as well as texture.
With this commit, both Workbench as well as Eevee now support huge numbers
of tiles, with the eventual limits being GPU memory and ultimately
GL_MAX_ARRAY_TEXTURE_LAYERS, which tends to be in the 1000s on modern GPUs.
Initially my plan was to have one array texture per unique size, but managing
the different textures and keeping everything consistent ended up being way
too complex.
Therefore, we now use a simpler version that allocates a texture that
is large enough to fit the largest tile and then packs all tiles into as many
layers as necessary.
As a result, each UDIM texture only binds two textures (one for the actual
images, one for metadata) regardless of how many tiles are used.
Note that this rolls back per-tile GPUTextures, meaning that we again have
per-Image GPUTextures like we did before the original UDIM commit,
but now with four instead of two types.

This patch contains the work that I did during my week at the Code Quest - adding support for tiled images to Blender.
With this patch, images now contain a list of tiles. By default, this just contains one tile, but if the source type is set to Tiled, the user can add additional tiles. When acquiring an ImBuf, the tile to be loaded is specified in the ImageUser.
Therefore, code that is not yet aware of tiles will just access the default tile as usual.
The filenames of the additional tiles are derived from the original filename according to the UDIM naming scheme - the filename contains an index that is calculated as (1001 + 10*<y coordinate of the tile> + <x coordinate of the tile>), where the x coordinate never goes above 9.
Internally, the various tiles are stored in a cache just like sequences. When acquired for the first time, the code will try to load the corresponding file from disk. Alternatively, a new operator can be used to initialize the tile similar to the New Image operator.
The following features are supported so far:
- Automatic detection and loading of all tiles when opening the first tile (1001)
- Saving all tiles
- Adding and removing tiles
- Filling tiles with generated images
- Drawing all tiles in the Image Editor
- Viewing a tiled grid even if no image is selected
- Rendering tiled images in Eevee
- Rendering tiled images in Cycles (in SVM mode)
- Automatically skipping loading of unused tiles in Cycles
- 2D texture painting (also across tiles)
- 3D texture painting (also across tiles, only limitation: individual faces can not cross tile borders)
- Assigning custom labels to individual tiles (drawn in the Image Editor instead of the ID)
- Different resolutions between tiles
There still are some missing features that will be added later (see T72390):
- Workbench engine support
- Packing/Unpacking support
- Baking support
- Cycles OSL support
- many other Blender features that rely on images
Thanks to Brecht for the review and to all who tested the intermediate versions!

This is the unification of all overlays into one overlay engine as described in T65347.
I went over all the code making it more future proof with less hacks and removing old / not relevent parts.
Goals / Acheivements:
- Remove internal shader usage (only drw shaders)
- Remove viewportSize and viewportSizeInv and put them in gloabl ubo
- Fixed some drawing issues: Missing probe option and Missing Alt+B clipping of some shader
- Remove old (legacy) shaders dependancy (not using view UBO).
- Less shader variation (less compilation time at first load and less patching needed for vulkan)
- removed some geom shaders when I could
- Remove static e_data (except shaders storage where it is OK)
- Clear the way to fix some anoying limitations (dithered transparency, background image compositing etc...)
- Wireframe drawing now uses the same batching capabilities as workbench & eevee (indirect drawing).
- Reduced complexity, removed ~3000 Lines of code in draw (also removed a lot of unused shader in GPU).
- Post AA to avoid complexity and cost of MSAA.
Remaining issues:
- ~~Armature edits, overlay toggles, (... others?) are not refreshing viewport after AA is complete~~
- FXAA is not the best for wires, maybe investigate SMAA
- Maybe do something more temporally stable for AA.
- ~~Paint overlays are not working with AA.~~
- ~~infront objects are difficult to select.~~
- ~~the infront wires sometimes goes through they solid counterpart (missing clear maybe?) (toggle overlays on-off when using infront+wireframe overlay in solid shading)~~
Note: I made some decision to change slightly the appearance of some objects to simplify their drawing. Namely the empty arrows end (which is now hollow/wire) and distance points of the cameras/spots being done by lines.

Also applies to some other sculpt tools like filter and mask expand.
The full update happens after the paint stroke is finished, so it does not
happen on view navigation, which would cause a delay.

This improves performance of some sculpt tools, particularly those that modify
many vertices like filter and mask tools, or use brushes with large radius.
For mask expand it can make updates up to 2x faster on heavy meshes, but for
most tools it's more on the order of 1-1.1x. There are bigger bottlenecks to
solve, like normal updates.

These were only strictly valid for texture space calculation, don't store them
since they should not be used after that. Only store a flag to indicate if the
auto texture space has been evaluated.
In the future it might make sense to store bounding boxes at the mesh level to
speed up bounding box computation for multiple objects using the same mesh, but
then it will need to be implemented differently.
The object color property is added as an additional output in
the Object Info node.

This function is a workaround to use the stencil in grease pencil and reduce the number of clears.
Reviewed by @fclem.
Note: This function will be removed when draw manager supports stencil clearing by group.
It may be good to move the normals update out of the drawing code. But it was
already there for the non-multires sculpt cases, and does not have an obvious
place since we bypass the depsgraph and want to avoid the cost of updating the
normals multiple times when multiple events are handled before a redraw.
A lot of drawcalls don't use the object's properties and don't
need a dedicated DRWCallState. We allocate a unique one at
the begining and use it for all calls that uses the default
unit matrix.
This cleans up a bit of duplicated code and some confusion about
what was culled and what wasn't.
Now everything is culled based on the given object pointer.
If the object pointer is NULL there is no culling performed.
This will have multiple benefit.
TODO detail benefits (culling, more explicit, handling of clipping planes)
For now the view usage is wrapped to make changes needed more progressive.
Adding a constant yields quadratic time complexity which can
have quite a big impact on some scenes.
I used the file from T64901 for testing.
In the test file, the time it took to execute `wm_draw_update`
changed from `0.60s` to `0.51s`.

This is a big change that cleanup a lot of confusing code.
- The instancing/batching data buffer distribution in draw_instance_data.c.
- The selection & drawing code in draw_manager_exec.c
- Prety much every non-meshes object drawing (object_mode.c).
Most of the changes are just renaming but there still a chance a typo might
have sneek through.
The Batching/Instancing Shading groups are replace by DRWCallBuffers. This
is cleaner and conceptually more in line with what a DRWShadingGroup should
be.
There is still some little confusion in draw_common.c where some function
takes shgroup as input and some don't.
This is in order to have VAO handled by thoses batches instead of using a
common VAO. Even if the VAO has no importance in these case using a batch
will help when transitioning to Vulkan.
