All the changes made in the branch `soc-2020-fluid-tools` are included in this patch.
**Major changes:**
=== Viewport Display ===
- //Raw voxel display// or //closest (nearest-neighbor)// interpolation for displaying the underlying voxel data of the simulation grids more clearly.
- An option to display //gridlines// when the slicing method is //single//.
==== Grid Display ====
- Visualization for flags, pressure and level-set representation grids with a fixed color coding based on Manta GUI.
==== Vector Display ====
- //**M**arker **A**nd **C**ell// grid visualization options for vector grids like velocity or external forces.
- Made vector display options available for external forces.
==== Coloring options for //gridlines// ====
- Range highlighting and cell filtering options for displaying the simulation grid data more precisely.
- Color gridlines with flags.
- Also, made slicing and interpolation options available for Volume Object.

In a recent update to the fluids modifier (rB03c2439d96e8), I introduced a flush call that sets all grids to NULL if the frame is outside of the allowed frame range. This way, the texture creation function must also check if the data grid is NULL before trying to create a texture.

This is to modernize the API:
- Add meaningful name to all textures (except DRW textures).
- Remove unused err_out argument: only used for offscreen python.
- Add mipmap count to creation functions for future changes.
- Clarify the data usage in creation functions.
This is a cleanup commit, there is no functional change.
# Conflicts:
# source/blender/gpu/GPU_texture.h
This is going to be unecessary after the GPU opengl texture backend refactor.
For now add a save/restore mechanism to leave the state untouched.
Also remove some calls where the caller would bind to particular binding
point and set the shader uniform.
