This is done because they don't have the same update frequency. UV can be
persistent even on geometry update (ex: skinned object) but tangents
can change if the normals change.
Also the name buffer per vbo was too small to contain all names.
For clarity sake, the batch cache now uses exclusively per Loop attributes.
While this is a bit of a waste of VRAM (for the few case where per vert
attribs are enough) it reduces the complexity and amount of overall VBO
to update in general situations.
This patch also makes the VertexBuffers filling multithreaded. This make
the update of dense meshes a bit faster. The main bottleneck is the
IndexBuffers update which cannot be multithreaded efficiently (have to
increment a counter and/or do a final sorting pass).
We introduce the concept of "extract" functions/step.
All extract functions are executed in one thread each and if possible,
using multiple thread for looping over all elements.

Previously, we had one global `GPU_matrix` stack, so the API was not
thread safe. This patch makes the stack be per `GPUContext`, effectively
making it local per thread (`GPUContext` is located in thread local
storage).

Alpha blended Transparency is now using dual source blending making it
fully compatible with cycles Transparent BSDF.
Multiply and additive blend mode can be achieved using some nodes and are
going to be removed.
This patch adds a new node that clamps a value between a maximum and
a minimum values.

This patch adds a new Map Range node that linearly remaps an input
value from a range to another. This node is similar to the compositor's
Map Range node.

Recently Shader parameter names for UVMaps and vertex colors were renamed.
The sculpt drawing code still used the old parameter names.

The problem is that the `glDrawArraysInstancedBaseInstance` is ignoring the last parameter.
The solution is to indicate that `GLEW_ARB_base_instance` is not supported in these cases.

When using opengl attributes such as gl_VertexID in a shader its
location is set to -1. This location was used without checking in an
attribute array. This fails big time when called from python. For
example `print(shader.format_calc())` made python crash immediately.

Migrate old legacy code to the draw mamager/object mode. The old legacy
version did not work with wireframe. By migrating the code
to modern draw manager code we have mode control on the drawing process.
Still background images do not work with OIT, the cause seems to be that the transparent pixels are treated as background pixels.
Also There are some artifacts when working with Holdouts and DoF, this
is because the draw engines do not pass the correct alpha values.

Use depth buffer to order the uv edges correctly to always draw selected
edges on top.
We still use the double drawing workaround for points to keep the smooth
antialiased display.
The issue was caused by a bad usage of GPUOffscreen.
The Framebuffer was created using a window framebuffer and used
in a viewport callback when another GPUContext was bound.
This change allows up to 3 framebuffers per GPUOffscreen.
Most common case will be using 2 framebuffers (one for init and
one for drawing) but in the case of more (bad usage) it will just
degrade performance a bit.
