This is a necessary step for EEVEE's new arch. This moves more data
to the draw manager. This makes it easier to have the render or draw
engines manage their own data.
This makes more sense and cleans-up what the GPUViewport holds
Also rewrites the Texture pool manager to be in C++.
This also move the DefaultFramebuffer/TextureList and the engine related
data to a new `DRWViewData` struct. This struct manages the per view
(as in stereo view) engine data.
There is a bit of cleanup in the way the draw manager is setup.
We now use a temporary DRWData instead of creating a dummy viewport.

This patch allows dropping material assets from material slot under the mouse
cursor. Before this change the material slot had to be hand-picked from the
properties panel.
For consistency it is chosen to do this in any shading mode as the tooltip shows
what is exactly going to happen during release.
The feature also works for other object types than Meshes as it uses the drawn surface on the
GPU to detect the material slots. Performance of this patch has been tested with AMD GCN3.0
cards and are very responsive.

Previously, the Point Instance node in geometry nodes could only instance
existing objects or collections. The reason was that large parts of Blender
worked under the assumption that objects are the main unit of instancing.
Now we also want to instance geometry within an object, so a slightly larger
refactor was necessary.
This should not affect files that do not use the new kind of instances.
The main change is a redefinition of what "instanced data" is. Now, an
instances is a cow-object + object-data (the geometry). This can be nicely
seen in `struct DupliObject`. This allows the same object to generate
multiple geometries of different types which can be instanced individually.
A nice side effect of this refactor is that having multiple geometry components
is not a special case in the depsgraph object iterator anymore, because those
components are integrated with the `DupliObject` system.
Unfortunately, different systems that work with instances in Blender (e.g.
render engines and exporters) often work under the assumption that objects are
the main unit of instancing. So those have to be updated as well to be able to
handle the new instances. This patch updates Cycles, EEVEE and other viewport
engines. Exporters have not been updated yet. Some minimal (not master-ready)
changes to update the obj and alembic exporters can be found in P2336 and P2335.
Different file formats may want to handle these new instances in different ways.
For users, the only thing that changed is that the Point Instance node now
has a geometry mode.
This also fixes T88454.

This patch will use compute shaders to create the VBO for hair.
The previous implementation uses transform feedback.
Timings before: between 0.000069s and 0.000362s.
Timings after: between 0.000032s and 0.000092s.
Speedup isn't noticeable by end-users. The patch is used to test
the new compute shader pipeline and integrate it with the draw
manager. Allowing EEVEE, Workbench and other draw engines to
use compute shaders with the introduction of `DRW_shgroup_call_compute`
and `DRW_shgroup_vertex_buffer`.
Future improvements are possible by generating the index buffer
of hair directly on the GPU.
NOTE: that compute shaders aren't supported by Apple and still use
the transform feedback workaround.

This patch allows the user to type a property name into the
Attribute node, which will then output the value of the property
for each individual object, allowing to e.g. customize shaders
by object without duplicating the shader.
In order to make supporting this easier for Eevee, it is necessary
to explicitly choose whether the attribute is varying or uniform
via a dropdown option of the Attribute node. The dropdown also
allows choosing whether instancing should be taken into account.
The Cycles design treats all attributes as one common namespace,
so the Blender interface converts the enum to a name prefix that
can't be entered using keyboard.
In Eevee, the attributes are provided to the shader via a UBO indexed
with resource_id, similar to the existing Object Info data. Unlike it,
however, it is necessary to maintain a separate buffer for every
requested combination of attributes.
This is done using a hash table with the attribute set as the key,
as it is expected that technically different but similar materials
may use the same set of attributes. In addition, in order to minimize
wasted memory, a sparse UBO pool is implemented, so that chunks that
don't contain any data don't have to be allocated.
The back-end Cycles code is already refactored and committed by Brecht.

This follows the GPU module naming of other buffers.
We pass name to distinguish each GPUUniformBuf in debug mode.
Also remove DRW_uniform_buffer interface.
This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.

The memory leak is noticeable when using custom bone shapes. When using custom
bone shapes objects could be extracted twice. Where the second extraction can
overwrite data created by the first extraction what causes the memory leak.
Options that have been checked:
1. Use two task graphs phases. One for normal extraction (DST.task_graph) and
the other one will handle extractions that require blocking threads.
2. Keep a list of all objects that needs extraction and only start extraction
when all objects have been populated.
The second would slow performance as the extraction only happens when all
objects have been populated. In the future we might want to go for the second
option when we have the capability to render multiple viewports with a single
populate. As this design isn't clear this patch will implement the first
option.

This cleanup use the recent changes in shader interface to allow querying
the binding location a texture should use.
This should aleviate all issue we have with texture state change recompiling
the shaders at drawtime.
All binds are now treated like persistent binds and will stick until a new
shading group bind a different shader. The only difference is that you can
still change it with a new subgroup or same shader shgroup.
Since unbinding can be heavy we only do it when using `--debug-gpu`.
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.

This patch uses a graph flow scheduler for creating all mesh batches.
On a Ryzen 1700 the framerate of Spring/020_02A.anim.blend went from 10 fps to 11.5 fps.
For each mesh where batches needs to be updated a sub-graph will be added to the task_graph.
This sub-graph starts with an extract_render_data_node. This fills/converts the required data
from Mesh.
Small extractions and extractions that can't be multi-threaded are grouped in a single
`extract_single_threaded_task_node`.
Other extractions will create a node for each loop exceeding 4096 items. these nodes are
linked to the `user_data_init_task_node`. the `user_data_init_task_node` prepares the userdata
needed for the extraction based on the data extracted from the mesh.
Note: If the `lines` and `lines_loose` are requested, the `lines_loose` sub-buffer is created
as part of the lines extraction. When the lines_loose is only requested the sub-buffer is
created from the existing `lines` buffer. It is assumed that the lines buffer is always
requested before or together with the lines_loose what is always the case (see
`DRW_batch_requested(cache->batch.loose_edges, GPU_PRIM_LINES)` in `draw_cache_impl_mesh.c`).

Fix T63047 Camera with negative scale works only in Cycles Rendered view
Fix T71352 Negative scale camera causes BLI_assert
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.
