This cleans up a bit of duplicated code and some confusion about
what was culled and what wasn't.
Now everything is culled based on the given object pointer.
If the object pointer is NULL there is no culling performed.
When viewport samples are set to 1 simple scenes with volumetrics crash.
EEVEE volumetrics needs to init the post processing buffers. With recent
changes the need for post processing buffers are known after the cache
init. But they are constructed before the cache init. This lead to null
pointers.

This is to simplify the usage of Volumetrics.
Now it automatically detect if there is any Volumetric material in the
view and allocate the needed buffer if any.
I'm not sur how it ever worked before. There was no texture bound to these
sampdensity and sampflame when no volume simulation was happening.
This fixes the issue using 1x1x1 dummy textures.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Some of them are unecessary and should be removed from the shader instead.
But for now we need a quick fix for the crashes happening on some platforms.
See T55475.
This separate probe rendering from viewport rendering, making possible to
run the baking in another thread (non blocking and faster).
The baked lighting is saved in the blend file. Nothing needs to be
recomputed on load.
There is a few missing bits / bugs:
- Cache cannot be saved to disk as a separate file, it is saved in the DNA
for now making file larger and memory usage higher.
- Auto update only cubemaps does update the grids (bug).
- Probes cannot be updated individually (considered as dynamic).
- Light Cache cannot be (re)generated during render.
This patch reduce the branching in the lamp loop, improving compilation time
noticeably (2372ms to 1785ms for the default shader).
This should not change the appearance of the shader.
Performance impact is negligeable.
We handle doversion for the scene properties, but not for the
view layer overrides.
Overrides will be implemented in a different way via dynamic overrides.
For now this data is completely lost.
For some we may add per object overrides, but for most we plan to keep them
strictly per viewport settings. Display settings from the mesh still need to
be moved here, only collections were done to remove that code.
This mean we can now have different shadow resolutions for both.
However each shadow type keep the same size accross all lamps because of
future "real" Cube Shadowmaps limitation and to save texture sampler slots.
That said the cascade shadow resolution could (in the future) still be
changed to be adjustable per sun lamp.
