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.

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.

This was caused by TAA offset being computed as the 2nd sample even if the
sampling was reset afterwards.
The fix is to update the matrices after any potential reset.
This cleans up a bit of duplicated code and some confusion about
what was culled and what wasn't.
Now everything is culled based on the given object pointer.
If the object pointer is NULL there is no culling performed.
When viewport samples are set to 1 simple scenes with volumetrics crash.
EEVEE volumetrics needs to init the post processing buffers. With recent
changes the need for post processing buffers are known after the cache
init. But they are constructed before the cache init. This lead to null
pointers.

This is to simplify the usage of Volumetrics.
Now it automatically detect if there is any Volumetric material in the
view and allocate the needed buffer if any.
Make Lookdev works with bloom and TAA by rendering it before TAA and fixing
the motion vectors of the lookdev balls.
Rework Lookdev to remove much of its complexity. Use simpler matrices with
more understandable setup code.
Viewport now displays alpha checkerboard pattern like Cycles does when
film alpha is set to "Transparent".
Some small workarounds were necessary for Depth of Field and correct TAA
support.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

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.
The crash only occurs with Intel 3rd generation GPUs.
It occurs because the program needs to be used at least once in the opengl context in which it is created.
It is caused by some sync issue apparently. Adding glFlush in these
two places fixes it.
Caveat: it might have a small perf impact (did not measure it).
The fix is limited to the affected driver/operating systems.
There was an issue caused by Antialiasing being done after DoF. Move TAA
after DOF and Motion Blur.
Also certain pixel with lower CoC would be spread all over the background
because the neighbooring pixel have higher CoC. So we need to apply some
bilateral filtering when downsampling. Currently we limit the influence of
neighbor pixels with a CoC inside the range [MaxCoC-2, MaxCoC].
Because:
- Less redundancy.
- Better suffixes.
Also a few modification to GPU_texture_create_* to simplify the API:
- make the format explicit to the texture creation process.
- remove the component count as it's specified in the GPUTextureFormat.
This "improve" the viewport experience by reducing the noise from random
sampling effects (SSAO, Contact Shadows, SSR) when moving the viewport or
during playback.
This does not do Anti Aliasing because this would conflict with the outline
pass. We could enable AA jittering in "only render" mode though.
There are many things to improve but this is a solid basis to build upon.
