Custom driver functions need access to the dependency graph that is
triggering the evaluation of the driver. This patch passes the
dependency graph pointer through all the animation-related calls.
Instead of passing the evaluation time to functions, the code now passes
an `AnimationEvalContext` pointer:
```
typedef struct AnimationEvalContext {
struct Depsgraph *const depsgraph;
const float eval_time;
} AnimationEvalContext;
```
These structs are read-only, meaning that the code cannot change the
evaluation time. Note that the `depsgraph` pointer itself is const, but
it points to a non-const depsgraph.
FCurves and Drivers can be evaluated at a different time than the
current scene time, for example when evaluating NLA strips. This means
that, even though the current time is stored in the dependency graph, we
need an explicit evaluation time.
There are two functions that allow creation of `AnimationEvalContext`
objects:
- `BKE_animsys_eval_context_construct(Depsgraph *depsgraph, float
eval_time)`, which creates a new context object from scratch, and
- `BKE_animsys_eval_context_construct_at(AnimationEvalContext
*anim_eval_context, float eval_time)`, which can be used to create a
`AnimationEvalContext` with the same depsgraph, but at a different
time. This makes it possible to later add fields without changing any
of the code that just want to change the eval time.
This also provides a fix for T75553, although it does require a change
to the custom driver function. The driver should call
`custom_function(depsgraph)`, and the function should use that depsgraph
instead of information from `bpy.context`.

Previously this would be enabled when threads were used, but threads are now
basically always in use so there is no point. Further, this is only needed for
guarded allocation with --debug-memory which is not performance critical.
The previous naming scheme for the "selected to active" baking options

To remedy this, I've added a new settings that does what the older setting implied it did.

There should be no user visible change from this, except that tile size
now affects performance. The goal here is to simplify bake denoising in
D3099, letting it reuse more denoising tiles and pass code.
A lot of code is now shared with regular rendering, with the two main
differences being that we read some render result passes from the bake API
when starting to render a tile, and call the bake kernel instead of the
path trace kernel.
With this kind of design where Cycles asks for tiles from the bake API,
it should eventually be easier to reduce memory usage, show tiles as
they are baked, or bake multiple passes at once, though there's still
quite some work needed for that.

The `BKE_animsys.h` and `anim_sys.c` files already had a an "AnimData
API" section. The code in that section has now been split off, and
placed into `BKE_anim_data.h` and `anim_data.c`.
All files that used to include `BKE_animsys.h` have been adjusted to
only include the animation headers they need (sometimes none).
No functional changes.
Problem is that the RenderEngines will change the RenderData cfra when
rendering (when time remapping is used -- at least workbench/eevee/
gpencil do a combination of BKE_scene_frame_get() plus
RE_GetCameraWindow() which alters the RenderData cfra).
Later on in the pipeline, the Compositor will use this RenderData cfra
to determine the output file name for the FileOutput node. (In contrast
to this, the 'regular' Output will use the Scene's RenderData -- not the
Render's -- cfra [which hasnt been altered])
It is not entirely clear why RE_GetCameraWindow was setting the cfra on
the Render, but it appears to be legacy OGL rendering related and is not
needed anymore.
Removing this will keep the cfra as needed for the Compositor FileOutput
node.
This simplifies freestyle render pipeline integration so we don't have to do
much manual ID user management at all. The complexity here was legacy from
Blender Internal.
Based on fix provided by Sybren A. Stüvl.
The Lens metadata stamped on rendered images was wrong when the camera lens
is animated. This was caused by the render pipeline passing the original
camera to the metadata system, and not the evaluated camera.
RE_engine_register_pass is sometimes in the headers with type
as an integer parameter, sometimes as eNodeSocketDatatype.
This caused warnings, the root cause was makesrna was not able
to generate the proper type for enums and defaulted to int.
makesrna has been extended with the RNA_def_property_enum_native_type
that allows telling makesrna the native type of an enum, if set it
will be used otherwise it will still fall back to int.

While it might be handy to have type-less functionality which is
similar to how C++ math is implemented it can not be easily achieved
with just preprocessor in a way which does not have side-effects on
wrong usage.
There macros where often used on a non-trivial expression, and there
was at least one usage where it was causing an actual side effect/bug
on Windows (see change around square_f(sh[index++]) in studiolight.c).
For such cases it is handy to have a function which is guaranteed to
have zero side-effects. The motivation behind actually removing the
macros is that there is already a way to do similar calculation. Also,
not having such macros is a way to guarantee that its usage is not
changed in a way which have side-effects and that it's not used as an
inspiration for cases where it should not be used.

- Use 'BKE_object_defgroup' prefix for object functions.
- Rename 'defvert_verify_index' to 'defvert_ensure_index'

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.

This adds UDIM support to e.g. the Displacement modifier.
The implementation is straightforward: If the image is tiled, lookup the

This only frees brush_rng and random_tex_array when they were actually
previously allocated.
In a unit test (see D6246) I want to be able to partially start Blender
so that I can load a blend file. To prevent memory leaks, I also want to
be able to release memory, which currently requires calling
`BKE_blender_free()`. This unconditionally calls `RE_texture_rng_exit()`
and `BKE_brush_system_exit()`, which now crash on freeing `NULL`. This
patch fixes that.
Allocation (`BKE_brush_system_init()`) and freeing
(`BKE_brush_system_exit()`) are done asymmetrically. The allocation
functions are called from `main()` in the creator module, but the
freeing is done by `BKE_blender_free()` the Window Manager. Ideally we
symmetrise this and initialise Blender from outside the window manager
(so that the initialisation can be done without WM and Python too), but
for now I'm happy when things don't crash.

A change to the render output filename made in the render-init hook
