In Blender 2.90 EEVEE materials were refactored that introduced crashes on Intel
GPUs on Windows. The crash happened in the `local_context_workaround` that temporary
stored compiled materials in a binary form to reload it in the main GL context.
It has been tested that the workaround isn't needed anymore for HD6xx GPUs, but it
is still needed for HD4000.
After several unsuccesfull fixes we came to the conclusion that we could not support
the local context workaround and needed to come with a different workaround. The idea
of this patch is that in these cases there is only a single context that is used for
rendering. Threads that uses these contextes are guarded by a mutex and will block.
Impact on User Level:
* Due to main mutex lock the UI freezes when rendering or baking or feel less snappy

- add the use of DRWShaderLibrary to EEVEE's glsl codebase to reduce code
complexity and duplication.
- split bsdf_common_lib.glsl into multiple sub library which are now shared
with other engines.
- the surface shader code is now more organised and have its own files.
- change default world to use a material nodetree and make lookdev shader
more clear.

These are the modifications:
-With DRW modification we reduce the number of passes we need to populate.
-Rename passes for consistent naming.
-Reduce complexity in code compilation
-Cleanup how renderpass accumulation passes are setup, using pass instances.
-Make sculpt mode compatible with shadows
-Make hair passes compatible with SSS
-Error shader and lookdev materials now use standalone materials.
-Support default shader (world and material) using a default nodetree internally.
-Change BLEND_CLIP to be emulated by gpu nodetree. Making less shader variations.
-Use BLI_memblock for cache memory allocation.
-Renderpasses are handled by switching a UBO ref bind.
One major hack in this patch is the use of modified pointer as ghash keys.
This rely on the assumption that the keys will never overlap because the
number of options per key will never be bigger than the pointed struct.
The use of one single nodetree to support default material is also a bit hacky
since it won't support concurent usage of this nodetree.
(see EEVEE_shader_default_surface_nodetree)
Another change is that objects with shader errors now appear solid magenta instead
of shaded magenta. This is only because of code reuse purpose but could be changed
if really needed.

Note this only changes cases where the variable was declared inside
the for loop. To handle it outside as well is a different challenge.

This patch is (almost) a complete rewrite of workbench engine.
The features remain unchanged but the code quality is greatly improved.
Hair shading is brighter but also more correct.
This also introduce the concept of `DRWShaderLibrary` to make a simple
include system inside the GLSL files.

This has no user visible impact yet since smoke volumes only support a fixed
set of attributes, but will become important with the new volume object.
For GPU shader compilation, volume grids are now handled separately from
image textures. They are somewhere between a vertex attribute and an image
texture, basically an attribute that is stored as a texture.

In the Intel HD 4000 driver a shader has to be deleted in the same context in which it is created.
However, because you can't use a rendering context on different threads, to maintain the multithreaded compilation, the solution was to use the `GL_ARB_get_program_binary` and copy the binary generated for the shader and generate a shader on the main context using that binary.
This solution is limited only to Intel HD 4000 and windows.

- Merged SEQ_OFSDRAW with V3D_OFSDRAW and define in the
DNA_view3d_types: Due to this FSAA always kicked in making the
rendering slow.
- Removed `Texture Solid` and `DOF`.
- Now when chosing Solid rendering the settings
of the original scene is used.
- Added a global override to use scene specific shading. In the
Future we will need to enhanced this so user can change the
settings.
- Added support for LookDev. LookDev crashed as it needed the
`evil_C` what was not set
- LookDev mode will always show the scene + world lights.

Needed to fix T61196, supporting clipped back-buffer in the 3D view
which is done outside the draw module.
It was also inconvenient having DRW_shader_* versions of GPU_shader_*
API calls.
- Clipping distances are now supported as a shader configuration
for builtin shaders.
- Add shader config argument when accessing builtin shaders.
- Move GPU_shader_create_from_arrays() from DRW to GPU.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
While verbose, this is a more flexible way to construct shaders.
Libs & defines can be optionally included for each shader type
which was previously done with inline string creation.
- Change gl_context_mutex to a ticket mutex ensuring interactivity even
when rendering.
- Add DRW_custom_pipeline for using DRW outside of the viewport and render
pipeline.
- DRW_opengl_render_context_*** and DRW_gawain_render_context_*** to use
with DRW_custom_pipeline.
- Add possibility to bypass deferred compilation on demand (not User
demand).
- Add union to access DRWMatrixState members more easily.
