No functional change, this adds LIB definition and args to cmake files.
Without this it's difficult to migrate away from 'BLENDER_SORTED_LIBS'
since there are many platforms/configurations that could break when
changing linking order.
Manually add and enable WITHOUT_SORTED_LIBS to try building
without sorted libs (currently fails since all variables are empty).
This check will eventually be removed.
See T46725.
Do it only for meshes/curves since those are potentially slow and need user
feedback to see things are not stuck. For object instances and lights assume
it's fast enough.
Printing too much can have a performance impact on slow Windows command
prompt or when logging complex scene renders.
This is only available through the API, mainly intended for render farms to
combine rendered multilayer EXR Files with different samples. The images are
currently expected to have the exact same render layers and passes, just with
different samples.
Variance passes are still simply a weighted average, ideally these should be
merged more intelligently.

It's effectively always enabled, only not on some unsupported OpenCL devices.
For testing those it's not useful to disable these features. This is replaced
by the more fine grained feature toggles that we have now.
This was already supported for Cycles shader nodes, but now also works for
Eevee and compositing nodes. Instead of a generic NodeCustomGroup, now
there is ShaderNodeCustomGroup and CompositorNodeCustomGroup that can be
subclassed and registered.

It only returned those for the active device type. For backwards compatibility
return them all again, but still avoid enumerating them from our own code on
startup or opening preferences.
The main goals of this change is faster starting when using foreground
rendering.
This patch will build kernels in parallel to the update process of
the scene. When these optimized kernels are not available (yet) an AO
kernel will be used.
These AO kernels are fast to compile (3-7 seconds) and can be
reused by all scenes. When the final kernels become available we
will switch to these kernels.
In background mode the AO kernels will not be used.
Some kernels are being used during Scene update (displace, background
light). When these kernels are being used the process can halt until
these become available.

Confusing to call a menu a panel when subclasses need to define
panel specific variables.
Avoid having bl_ui depend on bl_operator module too.
Since this isn't an operator, add utils modules for shared types.
These new functions control the per view layer object hiding state, similar to
the selection state. All these object state checking functions now also optionally
take a view layer to use instead of the active view layer.
Fixes T62062.
Part of the cleanup of the OpenCL codebase.
Single program is not effective when using OpenCL, it is slower
to compile and slower during rendering (when used in for example
`barbershop` or `victor`).

The UI was trying to use screen_context.c for its poll and draw
functions. So the active object and active object data and active layer
was used in the UI, instead of the context one.
Besides, for the material, the wrong context path was used altogether
when the active object was a greasepencil.
This would lead to all sort of pinning problems:
* A Mesh panel is pinned, but the active object is a grease pencil, the
grease pencil panels would show.
* If a Grease Pencil (data) panel is pinned, but the active object is not
the one pinned, nothing would show.
* Material panels and pinning were totally broken, showing the material
context for pinned mesh data panels even.
I also sanitized the name of the panels, their inheritance and poll
functions.

Float2 are now a new type for attributes in Cycles. Before, the choices
for attribute storage were float and float3, the latter padded to
float4. This meant that UV maps were inflated to twice the size
necessary.

When using preview rendering through a camera or final rendering
the `scene.render.use_motion_blur` was not respected when building
the compile directives.
This patch will when building the compile directives check if
motion blur is enabled at all. This should lead to more efficient
kernels when no motion blur is needed.

Using OpenCL MegaKernel has been slow and therefore not usefull.
This patch will remove the mega kernel from the OpenCL codebase
and the OpenCLDeviceBase class.
