Users now can turn on in a viewport collections that are temporarily
hidden (eye) in the view layer.
Design task: T61327
As for the implementation, I had to decouple the visibility in the
depsgraph from the visibility in the view layer.
Also there is a "bug" that in a way was there before which is some
operators (e.g., writing a text inside of a text object, tab into edit
mode) run regardless of the visibility of the active object. The bug was
present already (with object type visibility restriction) in 2.80 so if
we decide to tackle it, can be done separately (I have a patch for it
though P1132).

Camera background images were not shown under transparent objects.
This patch performs an alpha under for background images for cycles.
In order to see the difference the Film transparency needs to be turned on.
Note that workbench and EEVEE still needs to be adapted as they don't
write store alpha value in the viewport.
Side note. This implementation is already an improvement of the current behavior, what users are requesting. (Show background images underneath cycles viewport rendering.) It is clear that this patch still needs to be extended to workbench and eevee. For now that should be marked as a known limitation.

Adds a check when starting blender if your platform is supported. We use a blacklist
as drivers are updated more regular then blender (stable releases).
The mechanism detects if the support level changed or has been validated by the user previously.
Changes can happen due to users updating their drivers, but also when we change the support
level in our code base.
When the user has seen the limited support level message it is saved in the user config.
It would be better to have a system specific config section, but currently not clear
what could benefit from that.
When the platform is unsupported or has limited support a dialog box will appear including a link
to our user manual describing what to do.
**Windows**
Windows uses the MessageBox that is provided by the windows kernel.
**X11**
We use a very lowlevel messagebox for X11. It is very limited in use and can be fine tuned when needed.
**SDL/APPLE**
There is no implementation for SDL or APPLE at this moment as the platform support feature targets mostly Windows users.

Before, the modifiers were evaluated in Draw Engine and this required to calculate a factor to increase the VBO size.
Now, the modifiers are evaluated in Depsgraph and the Draw Engine receives the evaluated stroke with the final number of vertices. As the number of vertices is the final value already, if Draw Manager increases the number with the modifiers only increases the memory with empty space because never would be used. This commit removes this double calculation, reducing the memory usage and removes a loop to calculate the size by modifier too.
Also, the function getDuplicationFactor() has been removed because is not required anymore.
Due the internal design of the drawing engine and the special requirements for 2D inside 3D, it's required to keep the original stroke visible in order to display the particles. If the original stroke is hidden, the particles are hidden too.
This commit only fix the segmentation fault. Make visible the particles when the original is hidden would require a complete redesign and maybe would break some 2D features.
Now the grid matrix is calculated when the shading group is created.
Also, the grid pass is only created when needed and reduce memory usage when the scene is not using grease pencil objects.

Also applies to some other sculpt tools like filter and mask expand.
The full update happens after the paint stroke is finished, so it does not
happen on view navigation, which would cause a delay.

This improves performance of some sculpt tools, particularly those that modify
many vertices like filter and mask tools, or use brushes with large radius.
For mask expand it can make updates up to 2x faster on heavy meshes, but for
most tools it's more on the order of 1-1.1x. There are bigger bottlenecks to
solve, like normal updates.

This mostly happens automatically anyway since there is usually not enough
time left over for it. But when it does it happen it breaks partial redraw,
and may also have a negative impact on responsiveness.

Was caused by DRW_mesh_batch_cache_get_edituv_faces_stretch_area called
after DRW_mesh_batch_cache_create_requested. So it was created on the wrong
object/mesh.
Workaround that does not fix the real issue.
The bug is caused by glBufferData inside
DRW_instance_buffer_finish > GPU_vertbuf_use
but only after the selection code which resets the number of items in
idatalist->pool_buffers.
I don't understand why this is happening as the vbo ids are all valid and
no error is reported. What is even more strange, is that it affects another
vbo which has no connection with the ones in DRW_instance_buffer_finish.
The first element of the loop was not calculated for all onion modes. For select mode the first selected is used, for other modes the first frame in the layer is used.
Was caused by some drawcall not being done if the volumetric resolve pass
was drawn (using dual source blending seems to be the cause).
Not sure why this is needed since it is still reset before the next
drawcall.
These were only strictly valid for texture space calculation, don't store them
since they should not be used after that. Only store a flag to indicate if the
auto texture space has been evaluated.
In the future it might make sense to store bounding boxes at the mesh level to
speed up bounding box computation for multiple objects using the same mesh, but
then it will need to be implemented differently.
