Bug was introduced by the render passes. We had to tweak the bloom
shader a bit so we could reuse it. After that tweaking the original
alpha was ignored.
This patch will read and store the correct alpha channel.
This is using the GGX probe as background. This has the drawback of
having the resolution choosed in the indirect lighting setting.
The blurring is not really high-quality.
The pros is that it has a simple implementation and is fast to evaluate.
This patch also fades the background alpha to make overlay engine draw the
default background color in the correct color space. Removing one colorspace
hack.

This patch adds new render passes to EEVEE. These passes include:
* Emission
* Diffuse Light
* Diffuse Color
* Glossy Light
* Glossy Color
* Environment
* Volume Scattering
* Volume Transmission
* Bloom
* Shadow
With these passes it will be possible to use EEVEE effectively for
compositing. During development we kept a close eye on how to get similar
results compared to cycles render passes there are some differences that
are related to how EEVEE works. For EEVEE we combined the passes to
`Diffuse` and `Specular`. There are no transmittance or sss passes anymore.
Cycles will be changed accordingly.
Cycles volume transmittance is added to multiple surface col passes. For
EEVEE we left the volume transmittance as a separate pass.
Known Limitations
* All materials that use alpha blending will not be rendered in the render
passes. Other transparency modes are supported.
* More GPU memory is required to store the render passes. When rendering
a HD image with all render passes enabled at max extra 570MB GPU memory is
required.
Implementation Details
An overview of render passes have been described in
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Render/EEVEE/RenderPasses
Future Developments
* In this implementation the materials are re-rendered for Diffuse/Glossy
and Emission passes. We could use multi target rendering to improve the
render speed.
* Other passes can be added later
* Don't render material based passes when only requesting AO or Shadow.
* Add more passes to the system. These could include Cryptomatte, AOV's, Vector,
ObjectID, MaterialID, UV.

Try to never do operation twice and try to use MADD operations. Even if this
is very unlikely to make any difference, it can help compilers do some
optimization. I did not measure any difference as probes have much higher
impact on render time because of texture lookups.
Note that disk light is currently the most expensive light type so it
does not hurt to micro optimize.
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.

Most of the renderpasses in EEVEE used post-processing on the CPU. For
final image rendering this is sufficient, but when we want to display
the data to the user we don't want to transfer to the CPU to do post
processing to then upload it back to the GPU to display the result.
This patch moves the renderpass postprocessing to a GLSL shader.
This is the first step to do, before we will enable the renderpasses in the viewport.

This was caused by 2 things: Shadow map bias and aliasing.
It made the expected depth of the shadowmap further than the surface
itself in some cases. In normal time this leads to light leaking on normal
shadow mapping but here we need to always have the shadowmap depth above
the shading point.
To fix this, we use a 5 tap inflate filter using the minimum depth of all
5 samples. Using these 5 taps, we can deduce entrance surface derivatives
and there orientation towards the light ray. We use these derivatives to
bias the depth to avoid wrong depth at depth discontinuity in the shadowmap.
This bias can lead to some shadowleaks that are less distracting than the
lightleaks it fixes.
We also add a small bias to counteract the shadowmap depth precision.
Add option to change the Intensity of the HDRI in the 3d viewport. This works for both EEVEE and Cycles

Alpha blended Transparency is now using dual source blending making it
fully compatible with cycles Transparent BSDF.
Multiply and additive blend mode can be achieved using some nodes and are
going to be removed.
