With Blender 2.80 we introduced a more flexible matcap system. One
change we did was to multiply the matcap with the base color that was
shaded. As matcaps contains diffuse and specular lighting in a single
texture this lead to rendering artifacts. Artists were complaining that
everything looked to metalic.
We now support a separate `diffuse` and `specular` pass for matcaps.
`shaded_color = diffuse_light * base_color + specular_light`
For matcaps to support this feature they need to be multilayer openexr
files with 2 renderpasses (named `diffuse` and `specular`). In the future
we can change this to first pass/second pass in stead of this naming
convention.

This patch implements new cache system.
Aim is to give user more control over cache, so it can be maximally
utilized. This is done through sequencer timeline side panel
in category proxy & cache.
Cached images are also visualized in timeline, controled by
sequencer timeline view->cache menu
Functional changes:
- NOT use IMB_moviecache API
- refactor names of cached image types
- each scene owns 1 sequencer cache
- merge preprocess cache into per-sequencer cache
- cache links images rendered per frame in order as they are created
- add cache content visualization tool
- add RNA properties to control the cache

- Metadata handling is now separate from `ImBuf *`, allowing it to be
used with a generic `IDProperty *`.
- Merged `IMB_metadata_add_field()` and `IMB_metadata_change_field()`
into a more robust `IMB_metadata_set_field()`. This new function
doesn't return any status (it now always succeeds, and the previously
existing return value was never checked anyway).
- Removed `IMB_metadata_del_field()` as it was never actually used
anywhere.
- Use `IMB_metadata_ensure()` instead of having
`IMB_metadata_set_field()` create the containing `IDProperty` for
you.
- Deduplicated function declarations, moved `intern/IMB_metadata.h` out
of `intern/`. Note that this does mean that we have some extra
`#include "IMB_metadata.h"` lines now, as the metadata functions are
no longer declared in `IMB_imbuf.h`.
- Deduplicated function declarations, all metadata-related declarations
are now in imbuf/IMB_metadata.h.

Noisy change, but safe, and better do it sooner than later if we are to
rework copying code. Also, previous commit shows this *is* useful to
catch some mistakes.
`IMB_remakemipmap` may 'shrink' the mipmap list without actually freeing
anything, so we need to check all possible levels in `imb_freemipmapImBuf`
to avoid memory leaks, not only those currently used.
The issue was caused by the image save operator ignoring Z-Buf if the input
buffer due to the way how IMB_dupImBuf() worked. There's no reason to to
ignore z-buf on imbuf duplication, it only asks for issues in the future.
Windows-only bug, mmap & co are not threadsafe by default on this platform, so we have to add a dedicated
spinlock for them in win32.
Note that we may try to get rid of those mmap later, but not for 2.76!
To be backported to final 2.76...
ImBuf types were getting stored as bitflags in a 32bit integer which had
already run out of space. Solved the problem by separating file type to
an ftype enum, and file specific options to foptions.

transform.
IMB_makeSingleUser makes a copy and destroys metadata. I am not sure if
this is the safest way to make a single user ImBuf (setting the refcount
to 0 is simpler and there's less, but no zero, risk of dangling
pointers) but I will leave this as is for now in case there is an actual
need for a copy here. The alternative approach should be tested at some
point.
Moral of the story: Make sure that size_t is used whenever pointer
arithmetic is involved. For images, that basically means whenever any
squared dimensions are involved. Casting an operand to size_t early in
the operation is usually sufficient to force the entire operation to
size_t.
There might still be places lurking where we don't support this
correctly. This has been tested with render pipeline, quite a few image
functions (meaning we can paint on such images now, albeit somewhat
slowly ;) ) and export to jpeg. Too many places in code to check so I
guess we'll be handling cases as they come.
Don't try this at home unless you have an immense ammount of RAM.
First GPixel render of suzanne in the multiverse can be found here:
http://download.blender.org/demo/test/suzanne-billion-pixel.jpg
Can be viewed from blender (takes about 3.3 GB after loading but may
take more during loading so 8GB might be more safe to try this).
Issue is likely caused by thread-unsafe nature of IMB_freeImBuf
which might lead to race condition in some circumstances.
Now made it thread-safe and from Sebastian's tests seems crash is
gone now, so hopefully the root of the issue is finally nailed down.
Replace old color pipeline which was supporting linear/sRGB color spaces
only with OpenColorIO-based pipeline.
This introduces two configurable color spaces:
- Input color space for images and movie clips. This space is used to convert
images/movies from color space in which file is saved to Blender's linear
space (for float images, byte images are not internally converted, only input
space is stored for such images and used later).
This setting could be found in image/clip data block settings.
- Display color space which defines space in which particular display is working.
This settings could be found in scene's Color Management panel.
When render result is being displayed on the screen, apart from converting image
to display space, some additional conversions could happen.
This conversions are:
- View, which defines tone curve applying before display transformation.
These are different ways to view the image on the same display device.
For example it could be used to emulate film view on sRGB display.
- Exposure affects on image exposure before tone map is applied.
- Gamma is post-display gamma correction, could be used to match particular
display gamma.
- RGB curves are user-defined curves which are applying before display
transformation, could be used for different purposes.
All this settings by default are only applying on render result and does not
affect on other images. If some particular image needs to be affected by this
transformation, "View as Render" setting of image data block should be set to
truth. Movie clips are always affected by all display transformations.
This commit also introduces configurable color space in which sequencer is
working. This setting could be found in scene's Color Management panel and
it should be used if such stuff as grading needs to be done in color space
different from sRGB (i.e. when Film view on sRGB display is use, using VD16
space as sequencer's internal space would make grading working in space
which is close to the space using for display).
Some technical notes:
- Image buffer's float buffer is now always in linear space, even if it was
created from 16bit byte images.
- Space of byte buffer is stored in image buffer's rect_colorspace property.
- Profile of image buffer was removed since it's not longer meaningful.
- OpenGL and GLSL is supposed to always work in sRGB space. It is possible
to support other spaces, but it's quite large project which isn't so
much important.
- Legacy Color Management option disabled is emulated by using None display.
It could have some regressions, but there's no clear way to avoid them.
- If OpenColorIO is disabled on build time, it should make blender behaving
in the same way as previous release with color management enabled.

One important thing to keep in mind when using this feature is that you'll need to flip your textures vertically (both the GIMP and Photoshop DDS tools I've seen have support for this on export). This is a quirk in using a texture format originally made for DirectX/DirectDraw, and flipping the compressed data is a real headache. Another quick fix for this issue is to change the Y value for the Size in the Mapping panel in the Texture properties to -1 (default is 1).
