This make the limited wireframe not a performance problem anymore.
However, this does change the number of edges displayed as the threshold
is now computed per vertex instead of per edges.
For this reason we extended (internaly) the range of the slider so that the
users can hide more edge.
This is part of the work needed to refactor the material parameters update.
Now the gpupass cache is polled before adding the gpumaterial to the
deferred compilation queue.
We store gpupasses in a single linked list grouped based on their hashes.
This is not the most efficient way but it can be improved upon later.
Manipulators which aren't explicitly activated via tools are now hidden.
Tool manipulators are kept because it doesn't make sense to interact
with a tool with hidden manipulators.
This commit restores support for Motion Path drawing in 2.8 (as it wasn't ported over
to the new draw engines earlier, and the existing space_view3d/drawanimviz.c code was
removed during the Blender Internal removal).
Notes:
* Motion Paths are now implemented as an overlay (enabled by default).
Therefore, you can turn all of them on/off from the "Overlays" popover
* By and large, we have kept the same draw style as was used in 2.7
Further changes can happen later following further design work.
* One change from 2.7 is that thicker lines are used by default (2px vs 1px)
Todo's:
* There are some bad-level calls introduced here (i.e. the actgroup_to_keylist() stuff).
These were introduced to optimise drawing performance (by avoiding full keyframes -> keylist
conversion step on each drawcall). Instead, this has been moved to the calculation step
(in blenkernel). Soon, there will be some cleanups/improvements with those functions,
so until then, we'll keep the bad level calls.

Only OB_MESH is supported for now.
Creates a simple index buffer with negative indices if the edges is not a
real edge.
Also create the buffer texture representation of this buffer along with the
pos_in_order buffer texture.
This mean you can store data used for drawing inside the object engine
data.
Also fixes T55243 Crash in ASAN debug builds due to use-after-free memory in draw code - instances issue?
This new system use transform feedback to compute subdivided hair points
position. For now no smoothing is done between input points.
This new system decouple the strands data (uv, mcol) with the points
position, requiring less update work if only simulation is running.
In the future, we can have compute shader do the work of the feedback
transform pass since it's really what it's meant to. Also we could generate
the child particles during this pass, releasing some CPU time.
draw_hair.c has been created to handle all of the Shading group creations
as well as subdivision shaders.
We store one final batch per settings combination because multiple viewport
or render could use the same particle system with a different subdivision
count or hair shape type.
This mimics the behaviour of DRW_shgroup_empty_tri_batch_create and will
replace it eventually.
The advantage is that it's compatible with transform feedback.
If the object is manifold and the camera is in the shadow side, we can
use the depth fail method to fix the inverted shadow glitch.
Unfortunately this does not really work for non-manifold.
Implementation details:
We try to be as efficient as we can, we precompute camera near plane
projected into 2D shadow space so we can test for intersection with the
shadow boundbox easily.
As the intersection test is done in 2D it's pretty fast.
Unfortunately, this means the shadow bounds are all aligned to the same
space and are not the smallest bound we could extract.
This new API aim to provide simple function that can be called by the draw
engines during any phase of the draw pipeline. All calls are saved and
issued after all engines have finished rendering.
This removes the need of setuping special passes and shading groups for some
simple debug drawing.
