Added Object Overlap Overlay
- Added R32UI support to GPU_framebuffer
- Added R32U support to draw manager
- The overlay mode has a object data pass that will render 'needed' data to specific buffers so we can mix them together via a deferred rendering. In future will also add UV's and other data
- Overlap is implemented as an overlay so it could be used on top of the Scene lighted Solid mode (that will be rendered by Eevee.

Dithering the output color for 8bit precision framebuffer with bayer matrix.
On my tests the bayer matrux patterns are not noticeable at all.
Note that it also does that in opengl rendered mode which can be in a much
higher bitdepth. We can fix that if that's a problem in the future but I
doubt it will.
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
Folders removed entirely:
* //extern/recastnavigation
* //intern/decklink
* //intern/moto
* //source/blender/editors/space_logic
* //source/blenderplayer
* //source/gameengine
This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.

E.g. the vertices created for each of the defines would require a
certain offset. If you don't know what to look for, finding out about
this is pretty difficult. Make them easily searchable instead.
There is quite some mess going on in that most of the old triangle
drawing code is still there, but does almost nothing effectively.
Instead values are hardcoded in the shader, however it doesn't support
the drawing options the triangle functions expose.
E.g. the 'where' variable to set triangle direction doesn't work.
I can see how it's slowing things down: glFinish make sure that every query
are finished but the first query may have been finished a long time ago.
This might create bubbles because of the PIL_sleep_ms.
- Disable scissor test for fast clear. This could lead to some issues but
I cannot think of one and could not find one either.
- Manually wait for queries to be available instead of making the driver
wait and issue warnings.
This port the Blurring of blf fonts to the final drawing shader.
We add a bit of extra padding to each glyph so that jittering the texture
coord does not sample the neighbor glyphs.
Replace the 12 iterations of UI_draw_roundbox_4fv with only one batch.
This mean less overdraw and less drawcalls.
I had to hack the opacity falloff curve manually to get approximatly the
same result as previous technique. I'm sure with a bit more brain power
somebody could find the perfect function.
Now use a list of preset batches with a function to add new ones to this
list.
This removes the need of new functions all over the place to reset/exit.
Special shader to draw nodelinks for the node editor.
We only pass bezier points to the GPU and vertex position is handled inside
the vertex shader.
The arrow is also part of the batch to avoid separate drawcalls for it.
We still draw 2 pass one for shadow and one for the link color on top.
One variation to draw instances of theses links so that we only do one
drawcall.
For this we use a new shader that gets it's data from a uniform array.
Vertex shader position the vertices using these data.
Using glUniform is way faster than using imm for that matter.
Like BLF rendering, UI icons are always (as far as I know) non occluded and
displayed above everything else. They also does not overlap with texts so
they can be batched at the same time.
I've made a separate version of the geom shader that works with full
3D modelviewmat.
This commit also includes some fixup inside blf_batching_start().
This is not a perfect win just yet. It's now calling glBufferSubData for
every call (instead of using glMapBufferRange which is almost faster), but
with this system we will be able to batch drawcalls together.
See next commit.
This means smaller imm buffer usage.
This does not reduce the number of drawcalls.
This uses geometry shader which is slow for the GPU but given we are really
CPU bound on this case, it should not matter.
A perfect implementation would:
- Set the glyph coord in a bufferTexture and just send the glyph ID to the
GPU to read the bufferTexture.
- Use GWN_draw_primitive and draw 2*strllen triangle and just retrieve the
glyph ID and color based on gl_VertexID / 6.
- Stream fixed size buffer that the Driver can discard quickly but this is
the same as improving IMM directly.
Introduce a UI batch cache. For the moment it's only used by widgetbase so
leaving it interface_widgets.c. If it grows, it can have its own file.
Like all preset batches (batches used by UI context), vaos must be refreshed
each time a new window context is binded.
This still does 3 GWN_batch_draw in the worst cases but at least it does
not use the IMM api.
I will continue and batch the 3 calls together since we are really CPU
bound, so shader complexity does not really matters.
I cannot spot any difference on all the widgets I could test. I did not use
any unit tests so I cannot tell if there is really any defects.
This is not a complete rewrite but it adresses the top bottleneck found
after a profilling session.
