This adds memory barriers to use with `GPU_memory_barrier` to ensure that
writes to a vertex or index buffer issued before the barrier are
completed after it, so they can be safely read later by another shader.
`GPU_BARRIER_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY` should be used for vertex buffers (`GPUVertBuf`),
and `GPU_BARRIER_ELEMENT_ARRAY` should be used for index buffers (`GPUIndexBuf`).

This replaces lost functionality from the old GN Attribute Map Range node.
This also adds vector support to the shader version of the node.
Notes:
This breaks forward compatibility as this node now uses data storage.

When rendering volume surfaces in unbounded worlds the volume stepping can produce large values. If used with a magic texture node the values can results in a Inf float which when used in a sin or cos produces a NaN.
To fix this the input values are mapped into the periodic range of the sin and cos functions (-2*PI 2*PI) this stops the possibility of a Inf occurring and thus the NaN. It also improves the accuracy and smoothness of the result due to loss of precision when large values are summed with smaller ones effectively removing the parts of the smaller number (i.e. those in the -2PI to 2PI range) that result in variation of the output of sin and cos.

A recent security update to macOS 10.15.7 causes crashes when using Eevee and
various other 3D viewport features. It appears that glGenerateMipmap is
broken, causing a crash whenever its commands are flushed/submitted to the GPU.
Ideally this would be fixed in a driver update, however it's unlikely this will
happen. Earlier macOS versions have been receiving security updates for 2 years,
and that window has just passed for 10.15. Further, computers with these GPUs
can't upgrade to a newer macOS version.
As a workaround, disable mipmaps on these GPUs, by setting the mipmap max level
to 0 and not calling glGenerateMipmaps. Effects like depth of field also use
mipmaps, but fill in the mip levels by other means. In those cases we keep the
mipmap level.

This patch implements part of what was stated in {T66484}, with respect to `Base Point`.
## Introduction
The snapping feature of the transform tools has a variety of applications:
- Organization of nodes.
- Positioning of frames in precise time units.
- Retopology with snap to face
- Creation of armatures with bone positioning through the snap to volume
- Precise positioning of 3D or 2D objects in the surrounding geometry (CAD modeling)
The goal of this document is to make it more powerful for precision modeling and still supporting the old use cases without extra complexity.
The main topic addressed here is the introduction of a **interactive mode for setting a snap source** (See terminology).
## Terminology
* **Snap Source**: 3d coordinate * we want to snap from. (Currently defined by the `Snap With` options: `Closest`, `Center`, `Median` and `Active`).
* **Snap Target**: 3d coordinate* we want to snap to. (Vertices, Edges, Faces, Grid...)
## Interactive Mode for Editing a Snap Source
Currently the fixed snap point can only be obtained through the `Snap With` options. So it's a little tricky for the user to define a snap source point having so much geometry on an object.
Because of this, the user needs to resort to impractical solutions to get a point in the geometry.
See example of an impractical use:
{F11714181, layout=left, width=960, alt="The user used the cursor (which can be snapped) to choose the snap origin point."}
The user used the cursor (which can be snapped) to choose the snap source point.
While it is possible to work around this current limitation, it is important to reduce the number of steps and allow the user to set a snap source point through an optional interactive mode during a transformation.
The proposed solution is to be able to move the current snap source point through a modal modifier activated with a key (eg. B).
The snap source point can thus "snap" to the elements in the scene (vertex, mid-edge, Lamp, …) during this mode.
{F9122814, layout=left, width=960, alt="Base Point Snap, example of transform operation via the shortcut (not the tool). After pressing g and the snap base change shortcut (e.g., shift + ctrl) the user set the base point. The base point is then visible until the end of the operation. The z axis constrains the final position."}
## Implementation Details
- The feature will only be available in 3D View.
- The feature will only be available for `Move`, `Rotate` and `Scale` transform modes.
- The snap source editing will be enabled with a single click on the modifier key (B).
- Having a snap point indicated, the new snap origin point will be confirmed with the same buttons that confirms the transformation (but the transformation will not be concluded).
- The snap source editing can be canceled with the same key that activated it (B).
- If the transformation is done with "release_confirm" (common for gizmos), the new feature cannot be enabled.
- During the transformation, when enabling the feature, if the snap option is turned off in the scene, the snap will be forced on throughout the rest of the transformation (unless interactive mode is canceled).
- During a transformation, if no snap target is set for an element in the scene (Vertex, Grid...), the snap targets to geometry Vertex, Edge, Face, Center of Edge and Perpendicular of Edge will be set automatically.
- Snap cannot be turned off during the snap source editing.
- Constraint or similar modification features will not be available during the snap source editing.
- Text input will not be available during the snap source editing.
- When adding multiple snap points (A) the new prone snap source point will be indicated with an "X" drawing.

Issue introduced in {7e66616b7e15} where the shader was replaced with a
2d image shader. This patch reverts several commits that removed the 3d
image shader.
We run into float precision issues here, clamp the number of octaves to
one less, which has little to no visual difference. This was empirically
determined to work up to 16 before, but with additional inputs like
roughness only 15 appears to work.
Also adds misisng clamp for the geometry nodes implementation.
Avoid using underscore prefix since these typically mean the variable
shouldn't be accessed directly (it may be accessed from a macro,
or memory on the stack which is assigned to a pointer).
In this case a more meaningful name can be used for the argument
that was shadowed.
This reverts commit 03013d19d1.
This commit broke the windows build pretty badly and I don't
feel confident landing the fix for this without review.
Will post a possible fix in D12969 and we'll take it from there.
This adds generic attribute rendering support for meshes for Eevee and
Workbench. Each attribute is stored inside of the `MeshBufferList` as a
separate VBO, with a maximum of `GPU_MAX_ATTR` VBOs for consistency with
the GPU shader compilation code.
Since `DRW_MeshCDMask` is not general enough, attribute requests are
stored in new `DRW_AttributeRequest` structures inside of a convenient
`DRW_MeshAttributes` structure. The latter is used in a similar manner
as `DRW_MeshCDMask`, with the `MeshBatchCache` keeping track of needed,
used, and used-over-time attributes. Again, `GPU_MAX_ATTR` is used in
`DRW_MeshAttributes` to prevent too many attributes being used.
To ensure thread-safety when updating the used attributes list, a mutex
is added to the Mesh runtime. This mutex will also be used in the future
for other things when other part of the rendre pre-processing are multi-threaded.
`GPU_BATCH_VBO_MAX_LEN` was increased to 16 in order to accommodate for
this design.
Since `CD_PROP_COLOR` are a valid attribute type, sculpt vertex colors
are now handled using this system to avoid to complicate things. In the
future regular vertex colors will also use this. From this change, bit
operations for DRW_MeshCDMask are now using uint32_t (to match the
representation now used by the compiler).
Due to the difference in behavior for implicit type conversion for scalar types
between OpenGL and what users expect (a scalar `s` is converted to
`vec4(s, 0, 0, 1)` by OpenGL, vs. `vec4(s, s, s, 1)` in Blender's various node graphs) ,
all scalar types are using a float3 internally for now, which increases memory usage.
This will be resolved during or after the EEVEE rewrite as properly handling
this involves much deeper changes.

This patch includes code from D9891 and D12754, so credit goes to Juanfran and Dalai.
I updated the patches to work with `master` and with the new overlay toggle.
The reason to include both changes as part of one patch is that the dimmed dashed lines work much better together with colored wires.

No functional change, just cleaning up the shader code a bit.
Part of this is removing dead code (the discard was never called), and
part is shuffling mix/max around based on feedback by Sybren Stüvel.
This is a necessary step for EEVEE's new arch. This moves more data
to the draw manager. This makes it easier to have the render or draw
engines manage their own data.
This makes more sense and cleans-up what the GPUViewport holds
Also rewrites the Texture pool manager to be in C++.
This also move the DefaultFramebuffer/TextureList and the engine related
data to a new `DRWViewData` struct. This struct manages the per view
(as in stereo view) engine data.
There is a bit of cleanup in the way the draw manager is setup.
We now use a temporary DRWData instead of creating a dummy viewport.

Use dashes to represent the function flow (while keeping continuous
lines for the data-flow).
It is important to tell both flows apart (the data and the function
flow). The sockets help with that, the noodles help this further.
The "data flow" is evaluated at every single node. A user can inspect
the output sockets of those nodes and have a glimpse at their values.
The "function flow" (nodes) however is only evaluated in the geometry
nodes. The noodles are not transporting data in the same sense of the
"data flow". All that can be inspected are the attributes the functions
depend on.
Having this clearly communicated should help users to inspect the
nodetrees, read and understand the different flows in the same tree.
---
Known limitations:
At the moment the dash lines are not equidistant:
* It would be nice to get the "uv.x" to be resampled for the bezier curve
so the dashes are equally distributed in the curve.
* Using distance between the P3 and P0 instead of the real bezier curve
length seems to be fine.
---
Full disclaimer:
Changes with that much of a visual impact tend to be controversial. So
far the main feedback is that dashed lines can be associated to broken
link, and that there are better ways to represent the flows (or
different information that should be visually represented).
I'm fully aware of that. However dashed lines are already used in the
viewport and outliner to indicate (hierarchical) relation. Besides,
other approaches (double-lines, having the data flow to be more
distinct, ...) didn't pan out in the end (or didn't look as good as
this).
---
Impact in other editors:
The compositor uses mostly a "data flow" nodetree, so no change is
expected there.
The shader nodetree is one that could but doesn't have to change its
visual language.
The shader nodetree uses mostly "function flow" with some "data flow" nodes.
One can argue that it should be adapted to follow the
same pattern as geometry nodes (with the new noodles and the diamond
sockets). Oh the other hand, a shader nodetree has a single context.
When a node depends on the "UV", there is only one UV at a time for the
entire nodetree. So it can also be treated as a psedo "data flow"
nodetree if we want to avoid too many changes in other parts of Blender.
