This patch refactors the texture samples code by mainly splitting the
eGPUSamplerState enum into multiple smaller enums and packing them
inside a GPUSamplerState struct. This was done because many members of
the enum were mutually exclusive, which was worked around during setting
up the samplers in the various backends, and additionally made the API
confusing, like the GPU_texture_wrap_mode function, which had two
mutually exclusive parameters.
The new structure also improved and clarified the backend sampler cache,
reducing the cache size from 514 samplers to just 130 samplers, which
also slightly improved the initialization time. Further, the
GPU_SAMPLER_MAX signal value was naturally incorporated into the
structure using the GPU_SAMPLER_STATE_TYPE_INTERNAL type.
The only expected functional change is in the realtime compositor, which
now supports per-axis repetition control, utilizing new API functions
for that purpose.
This patch is loosely based on an older patch D14366 by Ethan Hall.

For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

A renaming of UI scale factors from names that imply a relationship to
monitor DPI to names that imply that they simply change "scale"

This renames the `BKE_gpencil_*` as well as the `DNA_gpencil_types.h`
files to indicate that it's the legacy grease pencil.
Pull Request: blender/blender#105597
This renames the `OB_GPENCIL` object type and the `ID_GD` to `OB_GPENCIL_LEGACY` and `ID_GD_LEGACY` respectively.
There is no change for the user.

Resolves issue with nearest filtering on UI Icons. Note that as
Metal does not support LOD bias as a parameter on a sampler
object, the original code has been modified to perform LOD
biasing at the shader level.
As GPU_SAMPLER_ICON is not widely used, it is more
efficient to apply directly to the affected shaders, rather
than workaround passing in the sampler LOD bias as a
separate value e.g. uniform or push constant.
Original PR feedback addressed to also refactor ICON
shaders to use consistent style for single and multi
Icon rendering.

Documented all functions, adding use case and side effects.
Also replace the use of shortened argument name by more meaningful ones.
Renamed `GPU_batch_instbuf_add_ex` and `GPU_batch_vertbuf_add_ex` to remove
the `ex` suffix as they are the main version used (removed the few usage
of the other version).
Renamed `GPU_batch_draw_instanced` to `GPU_batch_draw_instance_range` and
make it consistent with `GPU_batch_draw_range`.
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.
