This patch allows the user to type a property name into the
Attribute node, which will then output the value of the property
for each individual object, allowing to e.g. customize shaders
by object without duplicating the shader.
In order to make supporting this easier for Eevee, it is necessary
to explicitly choose whether the attribute is varying or uniform
via a dropdown option of the Attribute node. The dropdown also
allows choosing whether instancing should be taken into account.
The Cycles design treats all attributes as one common namespace,
so the Blender interface converts the enum to a name prefix that
can't be entered using keyboard.
In Eevee, the attributes are provided to the shader via a UBO indexed
with resource_id, similar to the existing Object Info data. Unlike it,
however, it is necessary to maintain a separate buffer for every
requested combination of attributes.
This is done using a hash table with the attribute set as the key,
as it is expected that technically different but similar materials
may use the same set of attributes. In addition, in order to minimize
wasted memory, a sparse UBO pool is implemented, so that chunks that
don't contain any data don't have to be allocated.
The back-end Cycles code is already refactored and committed by Brecht.

Add a new Alpha socket to the Attribute node that outputs the
fourth component of the attribute. Currently the only such
attribute is vertex color, but there may be more in the future.
If the attribute has no alpha channel, the expected value is 1.

This is a simple trick that does *not* have a huge performance impact but
does work pretty well. It just modifies the Fresnel term to account for
the multibounce energy loss (coloration).
However this makes the shader variations count double. To avoid this we
use a uniform and pass the multiscatter use flag inside the sign of f90.
This is a bit hacky but avoids many code duplication.
This uses the simplification proposed by McAuley in
A Journey Through Implementing Multiscattering BRDFs and Area Lights
This does not handle area light differently than the IBL case but that's
already an issue in current implementation.
This is related to T68460.

This follows the GPU module naming of other buffers.
We pass name to distinguish each GPUUniformBuf in debug mode.
Also remove DRW_uniform_buffer interface.
This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.
This patch has been generated by P1561 followed by `make format`.

When disconnecting links for defaulted node group inputs, recurse
into the nested node group nodes, instead of checking the socket
flag. Otherwise the behavior is confusing and differs from Cycles.

- add the use of DRWShaderLibrary to EEVEE's glsl codebase to reduce code
complexity and duplication.
- split bsdf_common_lib.glsl into multiple sub library which are now shared
with other engines.
- the surface shader code is now more organised and have its own files.
- change default world to use a material nodetree and make lookdev shader

This is also a bit of code cleanup, reorganisation.
Tried to be DRYed but avoid too much code change to (hopefully) minimize
breakage.
- GPU: remove TEXTARGET_CUBE_MAP, this is no longer used in the codebase.
- GPUTexture: Move compressed texture upload to gpu_texture.cc
- GPUTexture: Add per texture Anisotropic filtering switch
The sky will appear brighter than before by default. To compensate for this,
lower exposure in the Film panel. The default altitude was also changed from

This updates the usage of integer types in code I wrote according to our new style guides.
Major changes:
* Use signed instead of unsigned integers in many places.
* C++ containers in blenlib use `int64_t` for size and indices now (instead of `uint`).
* Hash values for C++ containers are 64 bit wide now (instead of 32 bit).
I do hope that I broke no builds, but it is quite likely that some compiler reports
slightly different errors. Please let me know when there are any errors. If the fix
is small, feel free to commit it yourself.
I compiled successfully on linux with gcc and on windows.
This also introduces the `blender::nodes` namespace. Eventually,
we want to move most/all of the node implementation files into
this namespace.
The reason for this file-move is that the code fits much better
into the `nodes` directory than in the `blenkernel` directory.
When using the sun, we need to sun sampling logic to avoid excessive
sampling map resolution, but that logic assumes that the Vector input
comes from the view direction.
That is the case in the vast majority of cases anyways, so the easiest
solution is to just remove the input for that case.

I'm not sure if the Sky was deliberately left out or was just waiting for a
better moment, but so many I was disappointed that Sky in EEVEE is
completely white.
There are already 2 implementations (osl and gpu) so this is the third one.
Looking at other cases it seems that we are not supposed to share sources
between cycles and the rest? So the new util_sky_model files are just
copies of what is already in cycles, except that the data file uses the RGB
variant of the Hosek/Wilkie model, because we output RGB anyway (but can be
easily changed to XYZ if desired - the results are nearly identical).
I am not sure if it is okay to pass 3*9 float values as 3 mat4 uniforms (I
wanted to use mat3 but it does not work).
Also, should I cache the sky model data between renders if the parameters
do not change?

This adds new callbacks to `bNodeSocketType` and `bNodeType`.
Those are used to generate a multi-function network from a node

This commit adds a new model to the Sky Texture node, which is based on a
method by Nishita et al. and works by basically simulating volumetric
scattering in the atmosphere.
By making some approximations (such as only considering single scattering),
we get a fairly simple and fast simulation code that takes into account
Rayleigh and Mie scattering as well as Ozone absorption.
This code is used to precompute a 512x128 texture which is then looked up
during render time, and is fast enough to allow real-time tweaking in the
viewport.
Due to the nature of the simulation, it exposes several parameters that
allow for lots of flexibility in choosing the look and matching real-world
conditions (such as Air/Dust/Ozone density and altitude).
Additionally, the same volumetric approach can be used to compute absorption
of the direct sunlight, so the model also supports adding direct sunlight.
This makes it significantly easier to set up Sun+Sky illumination where
the direction, intensity and color of the sun actually matches the sky.
In order to support properly sampling the direct sun component, the commit
also adds logic for sampling a specific area to the kernel light sampling
code. This is combined with portal and background map sampling using MIS.
This sampling logic works for the common case of having one Sky texture
going into the Background shader, but if a custom input to the Vector
node is used or if there are multiple Sky textures, it falls back to using
only background map sampling (while automatically setting the resolution to
4096x2048 if auto resolution is used).
