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.

This makes it easier to track as well as allowing us to sample the same
texture with different sampling parameters (which should fix the related

* 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.

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.

Fixed memory leak that showed up after the original issue (crash) had been fixed in 93ac4709eb. The fix ensures that light cache bakes free up GPU smoke textures and the smoke domain list correctly.
This commit also removes the workaround (f3a33a9298) that disabled light cache bakes for fluid objects.
We implement cubemap array support for EEVEE's lightcache reflection probes.
This removes stretched texels and bottom hemisphere seams artifacts caused
by the octahedral projection previously used.
This introduce versioning code for the lightcache which will discard any
lightcache version that is not compatible.

This has no user visible impact yet since smoke volumes only support a fixed
set of attributes, but will become important with the new volume object.
For GPU shader compilation, volume grids are now handled separately from
image textures. They are somewhere between a vertex attribute and an image
texture, basically an attribute that is stored as a texture.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D6952
This is more in line with standard grids and means we don't have to make
many special exceptions in the upcoming change for arbitrary number of volume
grids support in Eevee.
The workbench shader was also changed to fix bugs where squared density was
used, and the smoke color would affect the density so that black smoke would
be invisible. This can change the look of smoke in workbench significantly.
When using the color grid when smoke has a constant color, the color grid
will no longer be premultiplied by the density. If the color is constant
we want to be able not to store a grid at all. This breaks one test for
Cycles and Eevee, but the setup in that test using a color without density
does not make sense. It suffers from artifacts since the unpremultiplied
color grid by itself will not have smooth boundaries.

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 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.
