This is really convenient for development. Either for profiling the
generated shaders or to check if the generated code is correct.
It writes the shaders to the temporary blender session folder.
Use mesh batch cache for mesh selection.
Note that we could create the batches and free immediately
so they don't take up memory.
This resolves a problem where selection was limited
to immediate-mode buffer size.
Goal is to make them more modular, to allow more variants (variable
single-color, thickness, ...) to be added without having to
copy-and-change-one-line of whole chain of shaders.
Now we always use GLSL 3.3, AKA #version 330. Most of the extensions we used are built into OpenGL 3.3 so we don't need them anymore.
Cleaned up comments related to GLSL version.

These are always supported now
- instancing as of GL 3.1
- geometry shaders as of GL 3.2
The change to rna_scene.c could use some cleanup, since we don't really need a runtime query function.
Mainly adding 'wire' suffix to wire/distance drawing func and shader.
Also, match wire vertex shader behavior with solid one regarding
head/tail only drawing (i.e. alwas expect head bone mat, never tail one,
and assume that if a radius is negative, then we only draw on the other
end of the bone).
Envelope bones are now pretty much identical to old drawing code.
Note that currently new DwM drawing code does not seem to care about
wire/solid drawing modes at all, guess this is still TODO... For now we
hence just get both wire and solid for envelope bones, this can be
refined later.
This is not complete, it does not implement 3D solid drawing of
envelope bones. 2D wire is hence always drawn for now.
Some notes:
I did not try to implement the 'capsule' approach suggested by @fclem, because:
1. I spent enough time on this already, and finally got something working.
2. I managed to get rid of geometry shader completely.
3. Current approach allows us to use same shader for
distance outline and envelope wire.
It's working fine, except for one glitch - superpositions of envelope
outlines do not work as expected, not sure what's wrong here, tried to
disable zbuff, enable GL_BLEND, no luck so far...
I think we need our own 'background' drawpass to get them working (also
to avoid them drawing over the wire lines).
This implements weight rendering with the draw manager, with all drawing
options (Shading, wire, face masking, vertex masking).

Using geometry shader allows us to get rid of the 'line origin' extra
vertex attribute, which means dashed shader no longer requires fiddling
with those vertex attributes definition, and, most importantly, does not
require anymore special drawing code!
As you can see, this makes code much simpler, and much less verbose,
especially in complex cases.
In addition, changed how dashes are handled, to have two 'modes', a
simple one with single color (using default "color" uniform name), and a
more advanced one allowing more complex and multi-color patterns.
Note that since GLSL 1.2 does not support geometry shaders, a hack was
added for now (which gives solid lines, but at least does not make
Blender crash).
Object Info node can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to multiple instances. This patch adds support for Viewport and BI.

The fragment shader expects a normal, but the vertex shader was not providing one.
Fix: added a new vertex shader that has normals + smooth color interpolation.
I also split gpu_shader_3D_vert in two:
- one with just position
- one with position + normal
For each of the builtin shaders, we should be able to look at the GLSL and tell exactly what it's doing. Using #defines and #ifdefs for rendering options makes the shaders hard to read and easy to break.
This eliminates tons of glGetAttribLocation calls from the drawing loop. Vast majority of code can keep making the same function calls. They're just faster now!

These were the last few glGetUniformLocation calls in source/blender.
The new system gets uniform information once when a shader is created, then uses this cached info every time after that.
This eliminates tons of glGetUniformLocation calls from the drawing loop. Vast majority of code can keep making the same function calls. They're just faster now!
- Batch_Uniform*
- immUniform*
- gpuBindMatrices
- and others
See gpu_shader.c for the main changes.
EXT_geometry_shader4 brought this feature to GL versions < 3.2, but now it's just cluttering up our code.
Soon all platforms will be on version 3.3 so we won't even have to check support at runtime!
We concatenate #defines and #extensions into these, and can count the max string lengths needed. 256 is enough to hold today's strings; we can adjust later if needed.
When WITH_LEGACY_OPENGL = OFF.
This is our final target for Blender 2.8, all previous versions will be dropped in the future. GLSL 3.3 is richer so we don't require as many extensions.
Added new shader for clipping, also cleaned up rotation manipulator
drawing code a bit.
This code should be replaced by new transform manipulators soon, just
keeping this working in the meanwhile.
Renamed existing getter/setter that only FX shaders use. We could convert FX code to use the richer new interface or leave it as is.
Removed unused GPUShader fields. ShaderInterface tracks the same information.
Updated shader names and code that uses them.
All of these shaders produce round points that are anti-aliased and blended against the background.
These were initially named SMOOTH because they replace glEnable(GL_POINT_SMOOTH). But SMOOTH in shader-land refers to vertex attribute interpolation (like glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH)).
Using SMOOTH to mean two things is confusing, so we now use AA to mean "the point is anti-aliased".
Based on the previous overlay shader from merwin.
This shader takes care of clipped vertex cases and do all edit mode face info in one pass (except face centers).
As the shading is done one the triangle itself the visual can't go beyond the surface of the mesh. That leads to half displayed edges on the outline of the mesh.
This problem can be fixed by a second pass.
This is work in progress.
