There should be a conversion to native pixel size as expected by GHOST at the
window manager level, the dimensions at screen level do not need a conversion.

This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]

Relying on pointer addresses across different data-blocks is extremely
not recommended (and should be strictly forbidden ideally), in
particular in direct_link step of blend file reading.
- It assumes a specific order in reading of data, which is not ensured
in future, and is in any case a very bad, non explicit, hidden
dependency on behaviors of other parts of the codebase.
- It is intrinsically unsafe (as in, it makes writing bad code and making
mistakes easy, see e.g. fix in rB84b3f6e049b35f9).
- It makes advanced handling of data-blocks harder (thinking about
partial undo code e.g., even though in this specific case it was not
an issue as we do not re-read neither windowmanagers nor worspaces
during undo).
New code uses windows' `winid` instead as 'anchor' to find again proper
workspace hook in windows at read time.
As a bonus, it will also cleanup the list of relations from any invalid
ones (afaict it was never done previously).

This is related to the Vulkan port T68990.
This is a full cleanup of the Framebuffer module and a separation
of OpenGL related functions.
There is some changes with how the default framebuffers are handled.
Now the default framebuffers are individually wrapped inside special
GLFrameBuffers. This make it easier to keep track of the currently bound
framebuffer state and have some specificity for operations on these
framebuffers.
Another change is dropping the optimisation of only configuring the
changed attachements during framebuffers update. This does not give
any benefits and add some complexity to the code. This might be brought
back if it has a performance impact on some systems.
This also adds support for naming framebuffers but it is currently not
used.
This replace `GPU_clear()` by `GPU_clear_color()` and `GPU_clear_depth()`.
Since we always set the clear value before clearing, it is unecessary
to track the clear color state.
Moreover, it makes it clearer what we clear the framebuffer to.
This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`
rule in the `source/blender/blenlib` module. Not all warnings are
addressed in this commit.
No functional changes.
The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
written with British spelling.
Steps to reproduce were:
* From factory settings, change Outliner Display Mode to "Blender File"
* Open "Screens" item, make sure all listed screens are visible
* Open Preference window, close it
* Mouse hover the outliner -> crash
Fix is to force an Outliner tree rebuild when closing screens.
* Simplify workspace API a bit
* Comment on behavior of workspace-layout relations where exposed in API
* Remove annoying getters/setters
* Avoid lookups if we can early exit
* A NULL check is removed in `direct_link_workspace()` that I don't see
a need for. Am not 100% sure though, fingers crossed.
In general these changes should improve readability and make things
easier to reason about.
E.g. when opening the File Browser from the Preferences window, it would
be the child of the main window the Preferences belong to. Now it can be
a child of the Preferences window itself.
The File Browser always stays on top of its parent window. Which avoids
some issues with OS window management, see T76418 and T72693.
Also removes a now unnecessary workaround to move the child window back
to the front after closing the file browser (opening the file browser
would move the main window and the file browser to the front).
Fixes T76418, T72693.
Also put glDisable(GL_DITHER) in it since we don't even use it (but is
enabled by default).
Also leave GL_MULTISAMPLE on by default since it has no impact on non-MSAA
framebuffers.
It was sometimes set before reading preferences, now it's passed to GHOST every
time preferences are read.

Splits up wm_xr.c into multiple files in their own folder:
source/blender/windowmanager/xr. So this matches how the message bus and
gizmo code have their own folder and files.
This allows better structuring and should make the code scale better.
I rather do this early on than to wait until we end up with a single,
huge file.
Also improves a bit how data is prepared and updated for drawing.
Note this only changes cases where the variable was declared inside
the for loop. To handle it outside as well is a different challenge.

Follow up of b2ee1770d4 and 10c2254d41, part of T74432.
Now the area and region naming conventions should be less confusing.
Mostly a careful batch rename but had to do few smaller fixes.
Also ran clang-format on affected files.
All DirectX management happens on Ghost level now, higher level code can
just assume everything is OpenGL (except of the upside-down drawing that
still needs to be done for DirectX). This is similar to how the
metal-layer is hidden outside of Ghost.
The Ghost-XR graphics binding for DirectX is responsible for managing
the DirectX compatibility now.
NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

Removing meaningless distinction between NULL pointer and EVT_TABLET_NONE,
and initialize pressure and tilt to 1.0 and 0.0 respectively when no tablet
is used.
Simply loading factory settings and dragging an area separator
immediately after would cause an assert because of these invalid sizes.
Seems that since rB07499c04f612 we correctly initialize DPI related
UserPref values with 0, which caused DPI dependant initialization of
global areas to set ScrArea.global.size_min/max to 0 too.
