Jason Fielder 7b9d1cb51f Eevee: GPU Material node graph optimization.
Certain material node graphs can be very expensive to run. This feature aims to produce secondary GPUPass shaders within a GPUMaterial which provide optimal runtime performance. Such optimizations include baking constant data into the shader source directly, allowing the compiler to propogate constants and perform aggressive optimization upfront.

As optimizations can result in reduction of shader editor and animation interactivity, optimized pass generation and compilation is deferred until all outstanding compilations have completed. Optimization is also delayed util a material has remained unmodified for a set period of time, to reduce excessive compilation. The original variant of the material shader is kept to maintain interactivity.

Also adding a new concept to gpu::Shader allowing assignment of a parent shader from which a shader can pull PSO descriptors and any required metadata for asynchronous shader cache warming. This enables fully asynchronous shader optimization, without runtime hitching, while also reducing runtime hitching for standard materials, by using PSO descriptors from default materials, ahead of rendering.

Further shader graph optimizations are likely also possible with this architecture. Certain scenes, such as Wanderer benefit significantly. Viewport performance for this scene is 2-3x faster on Apple-silicon based GPUs.
