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.
When disabling AO or BLOOM in the render tab, when the pass is shown in
a 3d viewport the pass wasn't reset. This resulted in showing a black
texture and a not filled UI render pass in the shading popover.
This patch will by default reset to the combined pass. It is intended
that the render_pass in the 3d shading struct isn't set to combined as
people could have disabled AO/bloom by mistake and it could reset
viewports that aren't visible.
SSS buffers are lazy initialized when needed. When shaders recompile the
SSS buffers could be incorrectly drawn. During the render passes project
we tried to fix this, but that resulted in incorrect result of the first
sample after a shader was compiled.
We revert this change knowing that we know the issue, but haven't found
a proper solution for it.
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.

The render passes didn't follow the DrawManager way of doing things. It added new geometry and shading groups during drawing. This would make it harder to migrate to Vulkan later on.
This change will re-implement this part by using uniform references.

This fixes the issue where sun shadowmaps needs a very big bias value to
make any difference.
The bias is now in world space and not dependant on shadow bounds.
Unfortunatelly this breaks compatibility with previous version and old
scene are likely to need user intervention to fix.
Also fixes the property range.
Fix T71661 EEVEE shadow from sun on incorrect face
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.
Instead of changing the modifiers behavior, we make sure to always use
the data->totcol instead of the ob->totcol. Also we centralize getting
this number to avoid future issues.
Fix T72593 Blender crashes when separating mesh
Fix T72017 Crash on set visibility change
This way we remove the need for the srgb boolean uniform and a lot of code complexity. However, mesh update is going to be a bit slower.
I did not benchmark the performance impact.
This also fix a typo in draw_cache_impl_particles.c and fix hair not using vertex color in workbench.

EEVEE Soft shadows were not rendered correctly during viewport
rendering. The reason for this is that during viewport rendering the
shadow buffers were only update once and not per sample. This resulted
that all the samples calculated the same shadow.
This fix moves the call to `EEVEE_shadows_update` from cache finished to
draw scene. This needs to happen before `EEVEE_lightprobes_refresh`.
