This adds the possibility to use the `gpu_Layer` builtin to
support layered rendering without geometry shader.
The `BuiltinBits::LAYER` builtin needs to be manually added
to the `GPUShaderCreateInfo` in order to use this feature.
Note: This is only available for shaders using `GPUShaderCreateInfo`.
A geometry shader fallback is generated if the extension
`AMD_shader_explicit_vertex_parameter` is not available.
This patch migrates the draw manager hair refine compute shader to use
GPUShaderCreateInfo.

This is a first part of the Shader Create Info system could be.
A shader create info provides a way to define shader structure, resources
and interfaces. This makes for a quick way to provide backend agnostic
binding informations while also making shader variations easy to declare.
- Clear source input (only one file). Cleans up the GPU api since we can create a
shader from one descriptor
- Resources and interfaces are generated by the backend (much simpler than parsing).
- Bindings are explicit from position in the array.
- GPUShaderInterface becomes a trivial translation of enums and string copy.
- No external dependency to third party lib.
- Cleaner code, less fragmentation of resources in several libs.
- Easy to modify / extend at runtime.
- no parser involve, very easy to code.
- Does not hold any data, can be static and kept on disc.
- Could hold precompiled bytecode for static shaders.
This also includes a new global dependency system.
GLSL shaders can include other sources by using #pragma BLENDER_REQUIRE(...).
This patch already migrated several builtin shaders. Other shaders should be migrated
one at a time, and could be done inside master.
There is a new compile directive `WITH_GPU_SHADER_BUILDER` this is an optional
directive for linting shaders to increase turn around time.
What is remaining:
- pyGPU API {T94975}
- Migration of other shaders. This could be a community effort.

Old implementation has a single parser of many different
formats. With the introduction of Vulkan this would lead
to another parser in the same function. This patch
separates the log parsing using a visitor pattern so the
log parsing can be configured per GPU backend or even
per driver.
With Vulkan we manage the compiler our self so the parsing
will become more straight forward. The OpenGL part depends
on many factors (OS, Driver) and perhaps even GPU.
With the compute pipeline calculation can be offloaded to the GPU.
This patch only adds the framework for compute. So no changes for users at
this moment.
NOTE: As this is an OpenGL4.3 feature it must always have a fallback.
Use `GPU_compute_shader_support` to check if compute pipeline can be used.
Check `gpu_shader_compute*` test cases for usage.
This patch also adds support for shader storage buffer objects and device only
vertex/index buffers.
An alternative that had been discussed was adding this to the `GPUBatch`, this
was eventually not chosen as it would lead to more code when used as part of a
shading group. The idea is that we add an `eDRWCommandType` in the near
future.
