d7df0dcccb GPU: Add indirect dispatch support.
This uses a StorageBuf as the source of indirect dispatch argument.
The user needs to make sure the parameters are in the right order.

There is no support for argument offset for the moment as there is no
need for it. But this might be added in the future.

Note that the indirect buffer is synchronized at the backend level. This is
done for practical reasons and because this feature is almost always used
for GPU driven pipeline.

c434782e3a File headers: SPDX License migration
Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.

Follow the SPDX license specification: https://spdx.org/licenses

- C/C++/objc/objc++
- Python
- Shell Scripts
- CMake, GNUmakefile

While most of the source tree has been included

- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they
  use different header conventions.

doc/license/SPDX-license-identifiers.txt has been added to list SPDX all
used identifiers.

See P2788 for the script that automated these edits.

87055dc71b GPU: Compute Pipeline.
With the compute pipeline calculation can be offloaded to the GPU.
This patch only adds the framework for compute. So no changes for users at
this moment.

NOTE: As this is an OpenGL4.3 feature it must always have a fallback.

Use `GPU_compute_shader_support` to check if compute pipeline can be used.
Check `gpu_shader_compute*` test cases for usage.

This patch also adds support for shader storage buffer objects and device only
vertex/index buffers.

An alternative that had been discussed was adding this to the `GPUBatch`, this
was eventually not chosen as it would lead to more code when used as part of a
shading group. The idea is that we add an `eDRWCommandType` in the near
future.
