Multisample buffers were used for smooth line drawing. As we now have
an algorithm that doesn't need the multisample buffers we can remove
them.
The user preference for viewport multi_sampling is replaced by single
toggle overlay `use_overlay_smooth_wire`. By default this setting is
enabled as the new drawing is really quick (<1ms) and uses zero hacks.

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.

This function is a workaround to use the stencil in grease pencil and reduce the number of clears.
Reviewed by @fclem.
Note: This function will be removed when draw manager supports stencil clearing by group.
Centralize logic for when to use the PBVH for drawing, fix missing tests in
mask drawing, fix missing tests for multiple windows, only do more expensive
update for all viewports at end of the stroke.
The draw manager used to determine if the view transform should be
applied by checking if the scene was not rendered to an offscreen image.
As the sequencer and texture painting needs to render to an offscreen
image with the view transform applied we need to separate the
`do_color_management` from the `is_image_render`.

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.
This will have multiple benefit.
TODO detail benefits (culling, more explicit, handling of clipping planes)
For now the view usage is wrapped to make changes needed more progressive.
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.
This is a big change that cleanup a lot of confusing code.
- The instancing/batching data buffer distribution in draw_instance_data.c.
- The selection & drawing code in draw_manager_exec.c
- Prety much every non-meshes object drawing (object_mode.c).
Most of the changes are just renaming but there still a chance a typo might
have sneek through.
The Batching/Instancing Shading groups are replace by DRWCallBuffers. This
is cleaner and conceptually more in line with what a DRWShadingGroup should
be.
There is still some little confusion in draw_common.c where some function
takes shgroup as input and some don't.
This is in order to create less shading group when using duplis.
Data for dupli objects keep in draw manager state until the source object
changes so retrieval is fast.
Note that this system could be extended to all meshes.
Workbench/Eevee now displays multiple multi-materials correctly.
Iterate over pbvh nodes when doing object iteration. This makes the
rendering process more streamlined and allow for using different materials.
This change will make possible to:
- Add culling pass of each pbvh leaf node. (speedup if zoomed on a small
area)
- Reduce number of lead node iteration.
- Reduce code complexity
Now the depth order of objects when trying to select them is only used when not in X-ray mode.
Before, this was only the case in wireframe mode regardless of X-ray settings.
I've also unified the usage of V3D_XRAY and XRAY_FLAG as they were basically copies of each other.
