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.

without a valid target
rB95b9680597f5 introduced code that would skip creation of GPUVertBuf
for ParticlePointCache if the keyed physics would not have a valid
target. Missing vertex buffer would lead to assert/crash.
This code is now removed (dont see a reason why this was done? afaict
2.79 also just displayed the particles without physics in this case and
this seems to be working just fine in 2.8 as well)

This reverts commit 36faf739a7.
Somewhat annoying but this change had some unforeseen consequences,
which lead to an actual bug.
Since this change was not sufficient to get original report fixed
is easier to simply revert for now.
Fixes T65842: Hair disappears when clicking on particle system name
- was using wrong offset [index instead of index * 4]
- also minor correction to variable naming

Allows it to be preserved during copy-on-write update when on-geometry
related update is needed.
This is a required part for T63537, where we need to preserve the entire
evaluation data when object is tagged for only RECALC_COPY_ON_WRITE.

This type of indices is not natively supported on modern GPU and
gives warning on some implementation. The memory savings it
provides is also quite minimal and unlikely to be visible on
nowadays hardware.
This remove some uneeded struct members and makes primitive
restart always enabled by default. This can be broken by addons
if they are not careful enough but many other states have this
problem.
Also leverage GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART_FIXED_INDEX if
ARB_ES3_compatibility is supported. This removes all API calls
to change restart index depending on indices length.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

this was working for object/collection display/render but lattice was
not taken into account for non object/collection display/render types

Fixes T57931 Particle weight edit mode is not supported.
There is a bug that prevent refresh of the toolsettings on which is based
the weight / non-weight display selection (see T58086).
Implement strand selection visualisation but without any shading.
I think this is not the overlay job to draw the strands shaded.
We can already view the children strands shaded for now but we might add
an option to draw the shaded strand instead of (or in addition to) the
guide strand.
The idea is to only use pointers to particles in original object when
creating an edit structure. The derived mesh we get from evaluated
object.
The rest of the commit is just keeping pointers in sync.
This new system use transform feedback to compute subdivided hair points
position. For now no smoothing is done between input points.
This new system decouple the strands data (uv, mcol) with the points
position, requiring less update work if only simulation is running.
In the future, we can have compute shader do the work of the feedback
transform pass since it's really what it's meant to. Also we could generate
the child particles during this pass, releasing some CPU time.
draw_hair.c has been created to handle all of the Shading group creations
as well as subdivision shaders.
We store one final batch per settings combination because multiple viewport
or render could use the same particle system with a different subdivision
count or hair shape type.
There are a few places where DerivedMesh is still used, most notably
when calling the (not yet ported) cloth simulation. There is also still
the use of Object.derivedDeform and Object.derivedFinal. Those places are
marked with a TODO.
Some functions in the editors module were copied to accept Mesh. Those
already had 'mesh' in the name; the copies are suffixed with '__real_mesh'
for easy renaming later when the DM-based functionality is removed.
