Texture usage flags can now be provided during texture creation specifying
the ways in which a texture can be used. This allows the GPU backends to
perform contextual optimizations which were not previously possible. This
includes enablement of hardware lossless compression which can result in
a 15%+ performance uplift for bandwidth-limited scenes on hardware such
as Apple-Silicon using Metal.
GPU_TEXTURE_USAGE_GENERAL can be used by default if usage is not known
ahead of time. Patch will also be relevant for the Vulkan backend.

This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.
Regex find and replace: `UNUSED\((\w+)\)` -> `/*$1*/`
This allows the creation of texture arrays from 1D/2D/Cube texture.
This is useful when the shader expect a texture array but the original
texture isn't.
- Adding in compatibility paths to support minimum per-vertex strides for vertex formats. OpenGL supports a minimum stride of 1 byte, in Metal, this minimum stride is 4 bytes. Meaing a vertex format must be atleast 4-bytes in size.
- Replacing transform feedback compile-time check to conditional look-up, given TF is supported on macOS with Metal.
- 3D texture size safety check added as a general capability, rather than being in the gl backend only. Also required for Metal.

Add IMB_gpu_get_texture_format and GPU_texture_format_description to
retrieve and 'stringify' an eGPUTextureFormat. These are then used in the
image info panel used in several areas across blender.

This means textures need to have the number of mipmap levels specified
upfront. It does not mean the data is immutable.
There is fallback code for OpenGL < 4.2.
Immutable storage will enables texture views in the future.

Instead of creating different python wrappers for the same GPU object,
return the same `PyObject` created earlier.
This also allows for more secure access to existing GPU objects.

==== 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.

This wraps the functionality used to speedup EEVEE volumetrics.
This touches the rendering code of EEVEE as it should fix a mis-usage of
the GL barrier. The barrier changed type and location, removing an
unused barrier.
This makes the GPUContext follow the same naming convention as the rest
of the module.
Also add a static getter for extra bonus style (no need for casts):
- Context::get()
- GLContext::get()
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.
