Objects that internally uses DispList do not cast shadow in the workbench.
Their outline is also not visible in object mode. The reason for this is
that edge detection was not implemented for Display Lists. This patch will
implement the edge detection.

This changes a bit the batches data structure. Instead of using one
vbo per material we use one for all material and use index buffers for
selecting the correct triangles.
This is less optimized than before but has potential to become more
optimized by merging the wireframe data vbo into the shading one.
Also the index buffers are not strictly necessary and could be just
ranges inside the buffer. But this needs more adding things inside
GPUIndexBuf.
Shaded triangles are not yet implemented (request from gpumaterials).
This also changes the mechanism to draw curve normals to make it not
dependant on normal size display. This way different viewport can
reuse the same batch.
The shader is way simpler and run way faster on lower end hardware
(2x faster on intel HD5000) but did not notice any improvement on AMD Vega.
This also adds a few changes to the way the wireframes are drawn:
- the slider is more linearly progressive.
- optimize display shows all wires and progressively decrease "inner" wires
intensity. This is subject to change in the future.
- text/surface/metaballs support is pretty rough. More work needs to be done.
This remove the optimization introduced in f1975a4639.
This also removes the GPU side "sharpness" calculation which means that
animated meshes with wireframe display will update slower.
The CPU sharpness calculation has still room for optimization. Also
it is not excluded that GPU calculation can be added back as a
separate preprocessing pass (saving the computation result [compute or
feedback]).
The goal here was to have more speed for static objects and remove
the dependency of having buffer textures with triangle count. This is
preparation work for multithreading the whole DRW manager.
This only happens after a certain threshold.
We sort triangles into 2 bins (start and end of the buffer) based on a
threshold and just draw the start bin if the wireframe slider is low enough.
This optimization is disabled for deformed meshes.
This should help resolve (to some extent) T58188.
Note: Metaballs only support the first material slot. Splicing it per
material would create empty Batches. In order to overcome this we set
the batch for other materials to NULL. We added extra checks in EEVEE
and Workbench to not draw when the geom is NULL.
