A collection of smaller changes that are required in the /blender/source files. A lot of them are also due to variable renaming.

This patch will allow the user to select the EEVEE renderpass to be
shown in the viewport by default the combined pass will be shown.
Limitations:
* Viewport rendering stores the result in a `RenderResult`. RenderResult
is not aware of the type of data it holds. In many places where RenderResult
is used it is assumed that it stores a combined pass and the display+view
transform are applied.
I will propose to fix this in a future patch. But that is still being
designed and discussed.

Most of the renderpasses in EEVEE used post-processing on the CPU. For
final image rendering this is sufficient, but when we want to display
the data to the user we don't want to transfer to the CPU to do post
processing to then upload it back to the GPU to display the result.
This patch moves the renderpass postprocessing to a GLSL shader.
This is the first step to do, before we will enable the renderpasses in the viewport.

When rendering the Subsurface scattering lighting render layer with high
sample count render artifacts can appear. This patch will remove these
render artifacts by using a more precise texture format when samples
will be larger than 128. As with the new eevee-shadows it is more common
to use higher number of samples.
The reason why it was visible in the subsurface scattering is that every
sample could change the color. Adding different values will reduce
precision over the number of samples.
The subsurface color render layer also has this issue, but it is not noticeable as
the colors tend to be close to each other so the colors would
most of the time just shift the precision and hold up better.

This was caused by 2 things: Shadow map bias and aliasing.
It made the expected depth of the shadowmap further than the surface
itself in some cases. In normal time this leads to light leaking on normal
shadow mapping but here we need to always have the shadowmap depth above
the shading point.
To fix this, we use a 5 tap inflate filter using the minimum depth of all
5 samples. Using these 5 taps, we can deduce entrance surface derivatives
and there orientation towards the light ray. We use these derivatives to
bias the depth to avoid wrong depth at depth discontinuity in the shadowmap.
This bias can lead to some shadowleaks that are less distracting than the
lightleaks it fixes.
We also add a small bias to counteract the shadowmap depth precision.
Adds a check when starting blender if your platform is supported. We use a blacklist
as drivers are updated more regular then blender (stable releases).
The mechanism detects if the support level changed or has been validated by the user previously.
Changes can happen due to users updating their drivers, but also when we change the support
level in our code base.
When the user has seen the limited support level message it is saved in the user config.
It would be better to have a system specific config section, but currently not clear
what could benefit from that.
When the platform is unsupported or has limited support a dialog box will appear including a link
to our user manual describing what to do.
**Windows**
Windows uses the MessageBox that is provided by the windows kernel.
**X11**
We use a very lowlevel messagebox for X11. It is very limited in use and can be fine tuned when needed.
**SDL/APPLE**
There is no implementation for SDL or APPLE at this moment as the platform support feature targets mostly Windows users.

Make a distinction between flush sculpt changes for rendering, and forcing
sculpt data structures to be rebuilt after mesh changes. Also don't use PBVH
for renders.
Currently unused, but will allow to keep of an owner of the depsgraph.
Could also simplify other APIs in the future by avoiding to pass bmain
explicitly to relation update functions and things like that.

To fix this, we just scramble the halton sequence by multiplying by a large
prime number.
It seems to work fine in practice.
We also tried Sobol sequence but it has a less uniform pattern for low
number of sample.

This change implements the basics as described in {T68312} for the
shading modes.
* LookDev shading mode is renamed to Material Preview. It always uses Eevee as renderer, and is intended to provide a fast material preview suitable for texture painting, and texture and material setup.
* Rendered shading gains "Use Scene Lights" and "Use Scene World" options similar to current Material Preview. These will be enabled by default. When Use Scene World is turned off, HDRIs will be used for lighting instead. These options are available for EEVEE and Cycles.
* Renderers will be able to customize the shading settings panel and add additional settings.

The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.
