This is a new implementation of the draw manager using modern
rendering practices and GPU driven culling.
This only ports features that are not considered deprecated or to be
removed.
The old DRW API is kept working along side this new one, and does not
interfeer with it. However this needed some more hacking inside the
draw_view_lib.glsl. At least the create info are well separated.
The reviewer might start by looking at `draw_pass_test.cc` to see the
API in usage.
Important files are `draw_pass.hh`, `draw_command.hh`,
`draw_command_shared.hh`.
In a nutshell (for a developper used to old DRW API):
- `DRWShadingGroups` are replaced by `Pass<T>::Sub`.
- Contrary to DRWShadingGroups, all commands recorded inside a pass or
sub-pass (even binds / push_constant / uniforms) will be executed in order.
- All memory is managed per object (except for Sub-Pass which are managed
by their parent pass) and not from draw manager pools. So passes "can"
potentially be recorded once and submitted multiple time (but this is
not really encouraged for now). The only implicit link is between resource
lifetime and `ResourceHandles`
- Sub passes can be any level deep.
- IMPORTANT: All state propagate from sub pass to subpass. There is no
state stack concept anymore. Ensure the correct render state is set before
drawing anything using `Pass::state_set()`.
- The drawcalls now needs a `ResourceHandle` instead of an `Object *`.
This is to remove any implicit dependency between `Pass` and `Manager`.
This was a huge problem in old implementation since the manager did not
know what to pull from the object. Now it is explicitly requested by the
engine.
- The pases need to be submitted to a `draw::Manager` instance which can
be retrieved using `DRW_manager_get()` (for now).
Internally:
- All object data are stored in contiguous storage buffers. Removing a lot
of complexity in the pass submission.
- Draw calls are sorted and visibility tested on GPU. Making more modern
culling and better instancing usage possible in the future.
- Unit Tests have been added for regression testing and avoid most API
breakage.
- `draw::View` now contains culling data for all objects in the scene
allowing caching for multiple views.
- Bounding box and sphere final setup is moved to GPU.
- Some global resources locations have been hardcoded to reduce complexity.
What is missing:
- ~~Workaround for lack of gl_BaseInstanceARB.~~ Done
- ~~Object Uniform Attributes.~~ Done (Not in this patch)
- Workaround for hardware supporting a maximum of 8 SSBO.

Since rB6269d66da, creating formats no longer depends solely on the
shader, but now depends on the dimensions used to fill the VBOs.
This allows 3D shaders to work flawlessly when assigned dimensions are
2D.
So there's no real benefit to us having shaders that are limited to 2D
use anymore.
This limitation makes it difficult to implement other builtin shaders
as they indirectly require a 2D version.
So this commit removes the 2D versions of the builtin sahders used in
Python , renames the string enums but keeps the old enums working for
backward compatibility.
(This brings parts of the changes reviewed in D15836).
With the new `attrs_info_get` method, we can get information about
the attributes used in a `GPUShader` and thus have more freedom in the
automatic creation of `GPUVertFormat`s

This patch moves material indices from the mesh `MPoly` struct to a
generic integer attribute. The builtin material index was already
exposed in geometry nodes, but this makes it a "proper" attribute
accessible with Python and visible in the "Attributes" panel.
The goals of the refactor are code simplification and memory and
performance improvements, mainly because the attribute doesn't have
to be stored and processed if there are no materials. However, until
4.0, material indices will still be read and written in the old
format, meaning there may be a temporary increase in memory usage.
Further notes:
* Completely removing the `MPoly.mat_nr` after 4.0 may require
changes to DNA or introducing a new `MPoly` type.
* Geometry nodes regression tests didn't look at material indices,
so the change reveals a bug in the realize instances node that I fixed.
* Access to material indices from the RNA `MeshPolygon` type is slower
with this patch. The `material_index` attribute can be used instead.
* Cycles is changed to read from the attribute instead.
* BMesh isn't changed in this patch. Theoretically it could be though,
to save 2 bytes per face when less than two materials are used.
* Eventually we could use a 16 bit integer attribute type instead.

This patch is a response to T92588 and is implemented
as a Function/Shader node.
This node has support for Float, Vector and Color data types.
For Vector it supports uniform and non-uniform mixing.
For Color it now has the option to remove factor clamping.
It replaces the Mix RGB for Shader and Geometry node trees.
As discussed in T96219, this patch converts existing nodes
in .blend files. The old node is still available in the
Python API but hidden from the menus.

When allocating new `CustomData` layers, often we do redundant
initialization of arrays. For example, it's common that values are
allocated, set to their default value, and then set to some other
value. This is wasteful, and it negates the benefits of optimizations
to the allocator like D15082. There are two reasons for this. The
first is array-of-structs storage that makes it annoying to initialize
values manually, and the second is confusing options in the Custom Data
API. This patch addresses the latter.
The `CustomData` "alloc type" options are rearranged. Now, besides
the options that use existing layers, there are two remaining:
* `CD_SET_DEFAULT` sets the default value.
* Usually zeroes, but for colors this is white (how it was before).
* Should be used when you add the layer but don't set all values.
* `CD_CONSTRUCT` refers to the "default construct" C++ term.
* Only necessary or defined for non-trivial types like vertex groups.
* Doesn't do anything for trivial types like `int` or `float3`.
* Should be used every other time, when all values will be set.
The attribute API's `AttributeInit` types are updated as well.
To update code, replace `CD_CALLOC` with `CD_SET_DEFAULT` and
`CD_DEFAULT` with `CD_CONSTRUCT`. This doesn't cause any functional
changes yet. Follow-up commits will change to avoid initializing
new layers where the correctness is clear.

Add missing labels, and also add tooltips.
Unfortunately there is no way currently to extract two messages from a
single 'function' call, so unless those type of macros become very
widely used, would keep it as manual tagging.
Also disambiguate `case` in text context, pretty sure English is one of
the very rare languages to use this word for character case too.
- Keying (keyframe insertion)
- Roughness (particle children)
- New image, collection, text (in menus)

- Light (add menu)
- Empty (volume add menu)
- Empty (empty add menu)
- Cycles (f-curve modifier)
- Drag (workspace tool type)
- Power (light intensity)

This last change also moves all math operations in nodes to the
ID_nodetree context. It's needed only for some operations, but we
can't be more granular here.

and GPencil interpolation operator
- Enable new translation: "Slot %d" in image editor
- Fix an English message in the node editor:

This operator converts any stroke of gpencil with a center line into a stroke with the perimeter.
It's possible to assign the active material, keep current or create a new material for all perimeters.
The conversion is only done for strokes with a material using `Stroke`. Only `Fill` strokes are not converted.
Known issues: As the perimter has not boolean implementation, some perimeters can be overlaped. This could be solved in the future when a new 2D boolean library will be developed.

This introduces a new `UI_MT_button_context_menu` class which is
registered at startup. Addons can append/prepend draw functions to this
class, in order to add their custom context menu entries.
The new class replaces the old `WM_MT_button_context` class, thus
requiring a small change in addons using this feature. This is done
because addons were previously required to register the class
themselves, which caused addons to override each other's context menu
entries.
Now the class registration is handled by Blender, and addons need only
append their draw functions. The new class name ensures that addons
using the old method don't override menu entries made using the new
class.
Menu entries added with the legacy `WM_MT_button_context` class are
still drawn for backwards compatibility, but this class must not be used
going forward, as any addon using it still runs the risk of having its
menu entries overridden, and support for the legacy class is subject to
removal in a future version.
