Part of the issue was caused by missing speaker objects in the depsgraph
used for post-processing.
Remaining part was caused by missing scene sound update for this depsgraph.
Use lower level dependency graph evaluation which doesn't run any handlers,
doesn't touch sound system, doesn't inform image editors about changes.
Should probably move such evaluation steps to a helper function in DEG module,
but that is more like a cleanup.

Cheap tip: anything that is not "Camel Case" and/or that is more than
a few words long should use `TIP_` translation, not `IFACE_` one.
Also added several missing strings (including the one reported in D5056
by Jean First (@robbott), thanks).
This is enabled with bl_use_eevee_viewport = True. It allows external engines
to generate an Cycles/Eevee shader node setup to emulate their materials in
the realtime viewport, or to leave it to users to do manually.
Removed bl_use_exclude_layers and bl_use_shading_nodes that did nothing
anymore. This should not break API compatibility, any scripts setting those
should continue to work the same as before.
Also adds descriptions for some RenderEngine settings.
This change makes it so sound handles are created for evaluated scene,
sequencer and speakers. This allows to have properly evaluated animation
on them.
For the viewport playback sound uses regular dependency graph.
For the final render sound uses dependency graph created for render pipeline,
which now also contains sequencer and sound datablocks.
All the direct sound update calls are replaced with corresponding dependency
graph recalc tag.
Fix for GPencil and Cycles Render draw type. GPencil objects were only
shown when overlays were turned on. The cause of this is an
optimization we did to not populate any draw engine when an
external renderer was used with overlays turned off.
This will check if there is any visible GPencil object in the scene. if
so it will still perform the loop.
`DEG_id_type_any_exists` can check if any object of a certain type_id is in the
result. This check is also being used to check if there are any
visible grease pencil objects as a precheck in `DRW_render_check_grease_pencil`.

This change makes it so a minimal dependency graph which only includes
compositor and sequencer is built for the render pipeline purposes.
Tricky part here is that it's only compositor itself and sequencer who
to use this dependency graph and IDs from it. Render engines are still
to be provided original IDs because:
- They will create dependency graph for the given scene, and currently
it is not possible to create dependency graph from CoW scene.
- IDs from the compositor/sequencer dependency graph are "stripped",
as in, they wouldn't have all view layers, collections or objects
required for proper final render.
This creates annoying mess of mixing evaluated and original scene
access in various parts of the pipeline.

Previously, render parts were stored in a linked list and every tile update
searched the entire list for the correct part. As a result, the overhead
of searching tiles increased quadratically w.r.t. the number of tiles.
By hashing the parts based on their location, this operation is much faster,
significantly reducing the tile update overhead for small tiles and/or large
renders.
For example, rendering an empty scene in 1080p at 1spp and 8x8 tiles goes
down from 9.22sec to 1.45sec on my laptop.

This also replaces the Use Alpha setting. We now have these alpha modes:
* Straight: store RGB and alpha channels separately with alpha acting as a
mask, also known as unassociated alpha.
* Premultiplied: transparent RGB pixels are multiplied by the alpha channel.
The natural format for renders.
* Channel Packed: different images are packed in the RGB and alpha channels,
and they should not influence each other. Channel packing is commonly used
by game engines to save memory.
* None: ignore alpha channel from the file and make image fully opaque.
Cycles OSL does not correctly support Channel Packed and None yet, we are
missing fine control over the OpenImageIO texture cache to do that.
Fixes T53672
We can not access ensured-to-be-evaluated dependency graph from the
render API: some of it is running from within evaluation which makes
it possible for engines to access list of evaluated IDs.
Solved by passing dependency graph to viewport functions, similar to
the final render functions.
* EEVEE support through irradiance volume and light probe.
* New shader ball shape (designed by Robin Marin).
* New cloth and liquid shapes, removed monkey.
* Replace world sphere by toggle to use world for any shape.
* Slight bevel on cube.
* More subdivision for displacement preview.
* Fixed and improved UV mapping for all shapes.
* Material icon / asset preview now uses specified shape instead of always
a sphere. So for example hair material can be displayed as hair.

No functional change, this adds LIB definition and args to cmake files.
Without this it's difficult to migrate away from 'BLENDER_SORTED_LIBS'
since there are many platforms/configurations that could break when
changing linking order.
Manually add and enable WITHOUT_SORTED_LIBS to try building
without sorted libs (currently fails since all variables are empty).
This check will eventually be removed.
See T46725.
This was already supported for Cycles shader nodes, but now also works for
Eevee and compositing nodes. Instead of a generic NodeCustomGroup, now
there is ShaderNodeCustomGroup and CompositorNodeCustomGroup that can be
subclassed and registered.

We already have different storages for cddata of verts, edges etc.,
'simply' do the same for the mask flags we use all around Blender code
to request some data, or limit some operation to some layers, etc.
Reason we need this is that some cddata types (like Normals) are
actually shared between verts/polys/loops, and we don’t want to generate
clnors everytime we request vnors!
As a side note, this also does final fix to T59338, which was the
trigger for this patch (need to request computed loop normals for
another mesh than evaluated one).
