This revisit the render pipeline to support time slicing for better motion
blur.
We support accumulation with or without the Post-process motion blur.
If using the post-process, we reuse last step next motion data to avoid
another scene reevaluation.
This also adds support for hair motion blur which is handled in a similar
way as mesh motion blur.
The total number of samples is distributed evenly accross all timesteps to
avoid sampling weighting issues. For this reason, the sample count is
(internally) rounded up to the next multiple of the step count.
Only FX Motion BLur: {F8632258}
FX Motion Blur + 4 time steps: {F8632260}
FX Motion Blur + 32 time steps: {F8632261}

This adds object motion blur vectors for EEVEE as well as better noise
reduction for it.
For TAA reprojection we just compute the motion vector on the fly based on
camera motion and depth buffer. This makes possible to store another motion
vector only for the blurring which is not useful for TAA history fetching.
Motion Data is saved per object & per geometry if using deformation blur.
We support deformation motion blur by saving previous VBO and modifying the
actual GPUBatch for the geometry to include theses VBOs.
We store Previous and Next frame motion in the same motion vector buffer
(RG for prev and BA for next). This makes non linear motion blur (like
rotating objects) less prone to outward/inward blur.
We also improve the motion blur post process to expand outside the objects
border. We use a tile base approach and the max size of the blur is set via
a new render setting.
We use a background reconstruction method that needs another setting
(Background Separation).
Sampling is done using a fixed 8 dithered samples per direction. The final
render samples will clear the noise like other stochastic effects.
One caveat is that hair particles are not yet supported. Support will
come in another patch.

These are the modifications:
-With DRW modification we reduce the number of passes we need to populate.
-Rename passes for consistent naming.
-Reduce complexity in code compilation
-Cleanup how renderpass accumulation passes are setup, using pass instances.
-Make sculpt mode compatible with shadows
-Make hair passes compatible with SSS
-Error shader and lookdev materials now use standalone materials.
-Support default shader (world and material) using a default nodetree internally.
-Change BLEND_CLIP to be emulated by gpu nodetree. Making less shader variations.
-Use BLI_memblock for cache memory allocation.
-Renderpasses are handled by switching a UBO ref bind.
One major hack in this patch is the use of modified pointer as ghash keys.
This rely on the assumption that the keys will never overlap because the
number of options per key will never be bigger than the pointed struct.
The use of one single nodetree to support default material is also a bit hacky
since it won't support concurent usage of this nodetree.
(see EEVEE_shader_default_surface_nodetree)
Another change is that objects with shader errors now appear solid magenta instead
of shaded magenta. This is only because of code reuse purpose but could be changed
if really needed.

* Space: volume density and step size in object or world space
* Step Size: override automatic step size
* Clipping: values below this are ignored for tighter volume bounds
The last two are Cycles only currently.
Ref T73201
Only the volume drawing part is really finished and exposed to the user. Hair
plugs into the existing hair rendering code and is fairly straightforward. The
pointcloud drawing is a hack using overlays rather than Eevee and workbench.
The most tricky part for volume rendering is the case where each volume grid
has a different transform, which requires an additional matrix in the shader
and non-trivial logic in Eevee volume drawing. In the common case were all the
transforms match we don't use the additional per-grid matrix in the shader.

This removes stretched texels and bottom hemisphere seams artifacts caused
by the octahedral projection previously used.

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
