Original description:
I've encounterd into a problem with blender 2.8.
See the example screenshot (scene, shader setup). For some materials it's not enough to calculate hash based on fragment code and defines. In some cases attribute names may change. And if we change uv set name, for example, vertex shader is not recompiled, and another attribute name inside it is used.
This has wrappers for the most common gl* functions in the codebase, and is in preparation for D3502

We have to discard the batch in smooth case, because we are modifying
the index buffer (flat shading don't need it, only changes vertex buffer
on redraw, which is safe).
Many thanks to @fclem for his help on debuging/understanding what was
wrong here!
In an effort to centralize all opengl calls in the codebase, this patch replaces
the raw opengl calls in bf_blenfont with GPUTexture so it's no longer depended
on opengl headers.

this is to highlight areas in the code that still directly do opengl calls or use
opengl types.
This is in preparation for supporting alternative rendering back-ends.

This means the shader can now be used for procedural texturing. New
settings on the node are Samples, Inside, Local Only and Distance.

Since we are only creating this and never updating, there is no need for
the original approach with the individual data to be updated.
Note we only populate the GPU data when binding the UBO, so we can in the
future easily create the UBOs in a separate thread than the main drawing one.
Also at the moment animated materials are not working. To fix that we need
to free/tag for free the GPUMaterials in BKE_material_eval.
This is part of the work needed to refactor the material parameters update.
Now the gpupass cache is polled before adding the gpumaterial to the
deferred compilation queue.
We store gpupasses in a single linked list grouped based on their hashes.
This is not the most efficient way but it can be improved upon later.
