In Blender 2.90 EEVEE materials were refactored that introduced crashes on Intel
GPUs on Windows. The crash happened in the `local_context_workaround` that temporary
stored compiled materials in a binary form to reload it in the main GL context.
It has been tested that the workaround isn't needed anymore for HD6xx GPUs, but it
is still needed for HD4000.
After several unsuccesfull fixes we came to the conclusion that we could not support
the local context workaround and needed to come with a different workaround. The idea
of this patch is that in these cases there is only a single context that is used for
rendering. Threads that uses these contextes are guarded by a mutex and will block.
Impact on User Level:
* Due to main mutex lock the UI freezes when rendering or baking or feel less snappy

Some implementation have different maximum texture size.
This patch avoid crash when texture allocation fails when:
- trying to bake a lightcache too big for the OpenGL imeplementaion.
- loading a cache from file that is too big for the OpenGL imeplementation.
This revisit the render pipeline to support time slicing for better motion
blur.
We support accumulation with or without the Post-process motion blur.
If using the post-process, we reuse last step next motion data to avoid
another scene reevaluation.
This also adds support for hair motion blur which is handled in a similar
way as mesh motion blur.
The total number of samples is distributed evenly accross all timesteps to
avoid sampling weighting issues. For this reason, the sample count is
(internally) rounded up to the next multiple of the step count.
Only FX Motion BLur: {F8632258}
FX Motion Blur + 4 time steps: {F8632260}
FX Motion Blur + 32 time steps: {F8632261}

These are the modifications:
-With DRW modification we reduce the number of passes we need to populate.
-Rename passes for consistent naming.
-Reduce complexity in code compilation
-Cleanup how renderpass accumulation passes are setup, using pass instances.
-Make sculpt mode compatible with shadows
-Make hair passes compatible with SSS
-Error shader and lookdev materials now use standalone materials.
-Support default shader (world and material) using a default nodetree internally.
-Change BLEND_CLIP to be emulated by gpu nodetree. Making less shader variations.
-Use BLI_memblock for cache memory allocation.
-Renderpasses are handled by switching a UBO ref bind.
One major hack in this patch is the use of modified pointer as ghash keys.
This rely on the assumption that the keys will never overlap because the
number of options per key will never be bigger than the pointed struct.
The use of one single nodetree to support default material is also a bit hacky
since it won't support concurent usage of this nodetree.
(see EEVEE_shader_default_surface_nodetree)
Another change is that objects with shader errors now appear solid magenta instead
of shaded magenta. This is only because of code reuse purpose but could be changed
if really needed.

This makes it easier to track as well as allowing us to sample the same
texture with different sampling parameters (which should fix the related
T73942 in the long run).

Fixed memory leak that showed up after the original issue (crash) had been fixed in 93ac4709eb. The fix ensures that light cache bakes free up GPU smoke textures and the smoke domain list correctly.
This commit also removes the workaround (f3a33a9298) that disabled light cache bakes for fluid objects.
We implement cubemap array support for EEVEE's lightcache reflection probes.
This removes stretched texels and bottom hemisphere seams artifacts caused
by the octahedral projection previously used.
This introduce versioning code for the lightcache which will discard any
lightcache version that is not compatible.

Could also simplify other APIs in the future by avoiding to pass bmain

The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.

Cheap tip: anything that is not "Camel Case" and/or that is more than
a few words long should use `TIP_` translation, not `IFACE_` one.
Also added several missing strings (including the one reported in D5056
by Jean First (@robbott), thanks).
This is to simplify the usage of Volumetrics.
Now it automatically detect if there is any Volumetric material in the
view and allocate the needed buffer if any.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
