In blender 2.79 you could use a render result as a camera background
image. This is useful during layout/compositing. During Blender 2.80
development there were 2 issues introduced that removed this feature.
* to receive a render result the image required a lock. This lock wasn't passed and therefore no image was read from the result. Generating an GPUTexture from an Blender image also didn't do the locking.
* the iuser->scene field wasn't set what is required for render results.
This change adds an optional `ibuf` parameter to `GPU_texture_from_blender` that can be passed when available.

Based on @fclem's suggestion in D6421, this commit implements support for
storing all tiles of a UDIM texture in a single 2D array texture on the GPU.
Previously, Eevee was binding one OpenGL texture per tile, quickly running
into hardware limits with nontrivial UDIM texture sets.
Workbench meanwhile had no UDIM support at all, as reusing the per-tile
approach would require splitting the mesh by tile as well as texture.
With this commit, both Workbench as well as Eevee now support huge numbers
of tiles, with the eventual limits being GPU memory and ultimately
GL_MAX_ARRAY_TEXTURE_LAYERS, which tends to be in the 1000s on modern GPUs.
Initially my plan was to have one array texture per unique size, but managing
the different textures and keeping everything consistent ended up being way
too complex.
Therefore, we now use a simpler version that allocates a texture that
is large enough to fit the largest tile and then packs all tiles into as many
layers as necessary.
As a result, each UDIM texture only binds two textures (one for the actual
images, one for metadata) regardless of how many tiles are used.
Note that this rolls back per-tile GPUTextures, meaning that we again have
per-Image GPUTextures like we did before the original UDIM commit,
but now with four instead of two types.

This patch contains the work that I did during my week at the Code Quest - adding support for tiled images to Blender.
With this patch, images now contain a list of tiles. By default, this just contains one tile, but if the source type is set to Tiled, the user can add additional tiles. When acquiring an ImBuf, the tile to be loaded is specified in the ImageUser.
Therefore, code that is not yet aware of tiles will just access the default tile as usual.
The filenames of the additional tiles are derived from the original filename according to the UDIM naming scheme - the filename contains an index that is calculated as (1001 + 10*<y coordinate of the tile> + <x coordinate of the tile>), where the x coordinate never goes above 9.
Internally, the various tiles are stored in a cache just like sequences. When acquired for the first time, the code will try to load the corresponding file from disk. Alternatively, a new operator can be used to initialize the tile similar to the New Image operator.
The following features are supported so far:
- Automatic detection and loading of all tiles when opening the first tile (1001)
- Saving all tiles
- Adding and removing tiles
- Filling tiles with generated images
- Drawing all tiles in the Image Editor
- Viewing a tiled grid even if no image is selected
- Rendering tiled images in Eevee
- Rendering tiled images in Cycles (in SVM mode)
- Automatically skipping loading of unused tiles in Cycles
- 2D texture painting (also across tiles)
- 3D texture painting (also across tiles, only limitation: individual faces can not cross tile borders)
- Assigning custom labels to individual tiles (drawn in the Image Editor instead of the ID)
- Different resolutions between tiles
There still are some missing features that will be added later (see T72390):
- Workbench engine support
- Packing/Unpacking support
- Baking support
- Cycles OSL support
- many other Blender features that rely on images
Thanks to Brecht for the review and to all who tested the intermediate versions!

Now texture storage of images is defined by the alpha mode of the image. The
downside of this is that there can be artifacts near alpha edges where pixels
with zero alpha bleed in. It also adds more code complexity since image textures
are no longer all stored the same way.
This changes allows us to keep using sRGB texture formats, which have edge
darkening when stored with premultiplied alpha. Game engines seems to generally
do the same thing, and we want to be compatible with them.
Cycles now uses the color space on the image datablock, and uses OpenColorIO
to convert to scene linear as needed. Byte images do not take extra memory,
they are compressed in scene linear + sRGB transfer function which in common
cases is a no-op.
Eevee and workbench were changed to work similar. Float images are stored as
scene linear. Byte images are compressed as scene linear + sRGB and stored in
a GL_SRGB8_ALPHA8 texture. From the GLSL shader side this means they are read
as scene linear, simplifying the code and taking advantage of hardware support.
Further, OpenGL image textures are now all stored with premultiplied alpha.
Eevee texture sampling looks a little different now because interpolation
happens premultiplied and in scene linear space.
Overlays and grease pencil work in sRGB space so those now have an extra
conversion to sRGB after reading from image textures. This is not particularly
elegant but as long as engines use different conventions, one or the other
needs to do conversion.
This change breaks compatibility for cases where multiple image texture nodes
were using the same image with different color space node settings. However it
gives more predictable behavior for baking and texture painting if save, load
and image editing operations have a single color space to handle.

This way float and multilayer images can now be packed without data loss. This
removes the as_png option and always uses the appropriate file format depending
on the image contents.

It is possible to have same image used multiple times at different frames,
which means we can not free it's buffers without any guard. From quick tests
this seems to be doing what it is supposed to.
Need more testing and port this to 2.79.
This gives us 9 flags available again for properties (we had none anymore),
and also makes things slightly cleaner.
To simplify (and make more clear the differences between mere properties
and function parameters), also added RNA_def_parameter_flags function (and
its clear counterpart), to be used instead of RNA_def_property_flag for
function parameters.
This patch is also a big cleanup (some RNA function definitions were
still using 'prop' PropertyRNA pointer, etc.).
And yes, am aware this will be annoying for all branches, but we really need
to get new flags available for properties (will need at least one for override, etc.).

Errors are caught & reported by our GL debug callback. This gives us way more useful information than sporadic calls to glGetError.
I removed almost all use of glGetError, including our own GPU_ASSERT_NO_GL_ERRORS and GPU_CHECK_ERRORS_AROUND macros.
Still used in rna_Image_gl_load because it passes unvalidated input to OpenGL functions.
Still used in gpu_state_print_fl_ex as an exception handling hack -- will rewrite this soon.
The optimism embodied by this commit will not prevent OpenGL errors. We need to analyze what would cause GL to fail at certain points and proactively intercept these failures. Or guarantee they can't happen.
This patch supports "Image or Movie" and "Environment map" types of world texture for the viewport.
It supports:
- "View", "AngMap" and "Equirectangular" types of mapping.
- Different types of texture blending (according to BI world render).
- Same color blending as when it lacked textures (but render via glsl).

Screenshot ignored errors, some render code printed 'Saved' without checking for failure.
note: errno is now cleared from IMB_saveiff so all callers don't need to.
Previously it would save packed file(s),
which would ignore the image.filepath,
making it impossible to set the destination.
Add image.packed_files[...].save() so you can save packed files if its needed.
