Previously, `ImageTile->ok` and `ImageUser->ok` were used to indicate
whether an image failed to load. There were three possible values
which (probably) had the following meanings:
* `0`: There was an error while loading the image. Don't try to load again.
* `1`: Default value. Try to load the image.
* `2`: The image was loaded successfully.
This image-wide flag did not make sense unfortunately, because loading
may work for some frames of an image sequence but not for others.
Remember than an image data block can also contain a movie.
The purpose of the `->ok` flag was to serve as an optimization to avoid
trying to load a file over and over again when there is an error (e.g. the
file does not exist or is invalid). To get the optimization back, the patch
is changing `MovieCache` so that it can also cache failed load attempts.
As a consequence, `ibuf` is allowed to be `NULL` in a few more places.
I added the appropriate null checks.
This also solves issues when image sequences are used with the
Image Texture node in Geometry nodes (also see D12827).

This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.
Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under

Before this commit rendering material icons the floor will is hidden.
This reduces the readability of reflective/refractive materials.
check patch for additional screenshots and notes.
This patch will switch the floor material that uses ray visibility tricks to render a floor for reflective rays.
Eevee uses screen space reflections that makes this a different problem. There is nothing else drawn in
the scene in screen space so we need a different trick. Using math we convert a reflective ray to UV space
and generate a world that projects a checker pattern to infinity.
As now the floor is in the world it is being reflected via
a cubemap. As the film is transparent the background (including the floor isn't rendered)
In the future when Eevee supports vulkan raytracing we can re-evaluate and perhaps remove this
approximation.
We tried lightprobes but that wasn't able to do the trick.
Using the compositor would lead to more memory usage (render layers and intermediate buffers) and slower performance.

This makes the internal naming consistent with the public API. And also gives
us a visibility_flag rather than restrictflag that can be extended with more
flags.
The preview was always using frame 1, but maybe the object has changed and it's better create preview using the current frame.

The `action_preview_render()` function used to just render, but now it
also temporarily applies the pose. Its comment is now updated for this.
No functional changes.
When generating a preview image for a pose, temporarily apply it to the
armature. Contrary to the usual pose application, this ignores the
selected bones and always applies the entire pose.
Note that these changes are limited simple cases as these kinds of
changes could allow for errors when refactoring code when the known
state is not so obvious.
Textures may be important to be able to identify an object. They are also a way
to make many objects look more like when rendered with an advanced render
engine, without being that expensive.
So this seems like a simple way to increase usefulness of the automatic
previews.
Object orientation for thumbnail creation changed to be slightly
oblique (tilted to one side and from above) to better show shape,
especially when axis-aligned. Camera lens changed to 85 to avoid
distortion of close objects like human heads.

Pass `bContext *C` a bit further down the call stack, to prevent
exploding the number of parameters of `ED_preview_icon_render()`. An
upcoming change will require access to yet another context member, and
this can now be done without adding yet another parameter.
No functional changes.
It looks like we never generated correct icon previews for images with
float_rects (non-8bit-images). Images from the report were 16bit pngs.
In this case, `icon_preview_startjob` would return early (it only
checked if the ImBuf `rect` was NULL -- which is the case if it has a
`rect_float` instead). This is not neccessary since `icon_copy_rect` is
perfectly capable of taking float rects.
Now correct the check and only return early if both `rect` & `rect_float`
are NULL.
note: this will not refresh icon previews from existing files
automatically. For this, use File > Data Previews > Clear Data-Block
Previews.

Render previews for Action datablocks by rendering the scene camera with
the Workbench (solid) engine. The //look// can be configured by setting
the scene's render engine to Workbench and editing the scene's shading
properties.
It is assumed that the pose has already been applied and that the scene
camera is capturing the pose. In other words, the render function just
renders from the scene camera without evaluating/applying the Action
stored in `preview->id`. The ID is only used to determine its type and
to store the resulting preview.
Not all code paths that lead to the `action_preview_render()` function
actually provide a depsgraph. The "Refresh Asset Preview" button
(`ED_OT_lib_id_generate_preview`) does, but `WM_OT_previews_ensure` does
not.

Preview icons (e.g. material preview or other data-block previews) use the same
background-job code as deferred loading of custom icons/previews. There was a
check to skip preview generation if the render engine does not support preview
rendering mode, which workbench doesn't. However this check should only be used
when actually rendering a preview, not when doing deferred loading.
* Support defining (not necessarily rendering) icons in threads. Needed so the
File Browser can expose file previews with an icon-id to scripts.
** For that, ported `icons.c` to C++, to be able to use scope based mutex locks
(cleaner & safer code). Had to do some cleanups and minor refactoring for
that.
* Added support for ImBuf icons, as a decent way for icons to hold the file
preview buffers.
* Tag previews as "unfinished" while they render in a thread, for the File
Browser to dynamically load previews as they get finished.
* Better handle cases where threaded preview generation is requested, but the
ID type doesn't support it (fallback to single threaded). This is for general
sanity of the code (as in, safety and cleanness)
* Enabled asset notifier for custom preview loading operator, was just disabled
because `NC_ASSET` wasn't defined in master yet.

Apparently the ID pointer can be NULL, which most code here assumes is
not the case. But it's very fragile & finicky, there is one code path
were it's allowed to be NULL.
Add necessary NULL-checks, an assert as sanity check and a comment to
note the possibility of NULL.
Object previews are really helpful for visual data-block selection, like asset
browsing. Having them be generative should also be quite handy and should work
well enough in many, if not most cases.
What this does is simple:
* Place the object (actually a deep copy of it, for thread safety) in a virtual
.blend into an empty scene/view-layer.
* Add a camera, point it towards the front of the object, assuming that means
pointing towards its +Y axis.
* Use "Camera Fit Frame to Selected" logic to put the object into frame.
* Create a threaded off-screen render.
Of course, such an automatic preview will not work in all situations. E.g. it
currently does a bad job capturing a single plane. We could add options for
more advanced automatic previews, but probably custom previews is more
important, which I committed already (812ea91842).

No automatic preview generation will ever be good enough to cover all cases
well. So custom preview images are a must for a preview driven data-block
selection - like for asset browsing.
The operator simply allows selecting an image file, which will then be read and
copied into the data-blocks preview (resized if necessary).
There's no UI for this currently and the operator won't be available in the
search menu yet. It will later once the Asset Browser UI is merged.

Note that possibility to pass the new ID pointer as parameter was kept,
as this is needed for some rather specific cases (like in depsgraph/COW,
when copying into already allocated memory).
Part of T71219.
Besides the NodeTree case (which remains unchanged), the localize code
is only used in one place (to generate previews of shading data-blocks).
This commit introduces a new `LIB_ID_CREATE_LOCAL` option for ID
creation/copying, which essentially implements the behavior of the
removed `BKE_XXX_localize()` functions into regular mainstream ID copy
code. When this option is set:
- new ID is tagged with `LIB_TAG_LOCALIZED`;
- Some ID copying callbacks have specific behaviors, mainly the root
nodetree of shading IDs gets duplicated with specialized
`ntreeLocalize()` function.
Note that I would not consider getting rid of `ntreeLocalize` for now,
this function is recursive, which should ideally never happen within ID
management copying code (this introduces all kind of complications).
No behavioral change expected from this commit.
Since rB329b4c3363e4 a texture preview is not rendered through the
preview.blend and a renderengine anymore [unlike materials etc.]
Alpha wasnt handled in that commit, take that into account now.
sidenote: not sure if we should be looking into drawing alpha with a
checkerboard in the background for texture previews (see texture
previews elsewhere)?
sidenote 2: might also be good to document where the "calculate" and
"invert" alpha options are still used? [looks a bit inconsistent:
compositor uses it, Image Editor as well as Render Engines dont?]

Follow up of b2ee1770d4 and 10c2254d41, part of T74432.
Now the area and region naming conventions should be less confusing.
Mostly a careful batch rename but had to do few smaller fixes.
Also ran clang-format on affected files.
While it might be handy to have type-less functionality which is
similar to how C++ math is implemented it can not be easily achieved
with just preprocessor in a way which does not have side-effects on
wrong usage.
There macros where often used on a non-trivial expression, and there
was at least one usage where it was causing an actual side effect/bug
on Windows (see change around square_f(sh[index++]) in studiolight.c).
For such cases it is handy to have a function which is guaranteed to
have zero side-effects. The motivation behind actually removing the
macros is that there is already a way to do similar calculation. Also,
not having such macros is a way to guarantee that its usage is not
changed in a way which have side-effects and that it's not used as an
inspiration for cases where it should not be used.
