This PR replaces submissions with pipeline barriers when generating
mipmaps. This would reduce the amount of submissions and improve
performance during mipmap generation as dependencies will be tracked
between commands.

Mistake in 4d668e6825. `draw_seq_strips()` would use
`UI_view2d_view_orthoSpecial()` to only scale drawing horizontally, but didn't
reset the matrix state for normal view-space drawing. Result is that the
preview range drawing would be broken, and so were add-ons using the
`POST_VIEW` draw callback.

Address issues raised by #114155.
Also fix sphinx documentation generation using incorrect identifiers
when looking up references from PyStruct types
(was looking for `bpy.app.bpy.app.driver_namespace.py`).
This PR adds tunings for the [newly announced](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctkW3V0Mh-k) M3 family of chips. In particular, MetalRT will be enabled as the automatic default for intersection testing on M3 and beyond to take advantage of hardware raytracing. This will result in significant path-tracing speedups, as well as faster BVH builds.

`shaderOutputLayer` and `shaderOutputViewportIndex` are optional in
Blender, but when used they should be activated on physical device level.
This wasn't the case and when used the validation layer reported an error.
This PR activates the features when creating the device if the features
are available.

Add various shortcuts that were missing from the industry compatible
key-map. Various grease pencil shortcuts that were intended to be there
are now present.
These issues are now fixed:
- `Alt A` = Missing from GP sculpt mode.
- `Shift S` = Missing.
- `Shift Alt S` = Insert Blank Keyframe - Not added to Edit mode.
- `Y` = Active Layer Menu - Not added to Edit mode.
- `Shift Y` = Merge Down - Does not exist.
- `Shift Backspace/Delete` = Delete All Active Frames is missing from
every mode except Draw.
- `Backspace/Delete` = Delete Menu is missing from all modes except
Edit.
Regression in [0] which only ran drag events if the press event passed
through.
Resolve using the same logic as select picking
(see: WM_operator_flag_only_pass_through_on_press).

Adjust clamping of inputs in the Principled BSDF to avoid errors and
inconsistencies between render engines, while trying to leave as many
inputs as possible unclamped for artisitc purposes.

Configure failed to find vorbis & vorbisenc on Linux with the errors:
ERROR: vorbis not found using pkg-config
ERROR: vorbisenc not found using pkg-config
the issue was caused by configures test program failing to link the test
code against the static library because functions in libm weren't found.
Resolve by adding `$libm_extralibs` to libvorbis.
Note that it's strange this issue didn't come up before,
since it occurs on a clean build it seems necessary.
The last good commit was 8474716abb.
After this commits from main were pushed to blender-v4.0-release. These are
being reverted.
Commits a4880576dc from to b26f176d1a that happend afterwards were meant for

This patch replaces MeshPolygon.loop_start's use of
RNA_def_property_int_funcs with RNA_def_property_int_sdna to enable raw
array access.
RNA_def_property_int_funcs disables the PROP_INTERN_RAW_ACCESS flag,
which forces rna_raw_access to fall back to its slower loop when using
bpy_prop_collection.foreach_get/foreach_set from Python.
Because MeshPolygon uses the MIntProperty struct and loop_start accesses
the "i" field of MIntProperty directly, it can use
RNA_def_property_int_sdna like other props that directly access the "i"
field of a StructRNA using the MIntProperty struct.
This then speeds up the Python API bpy_prop_collection.foreach_get/
foreach_set access of MeshPolygon.loop_total to the same speeds as
generic int attributes.
Given a mesh with 98304 faces:
foreach_get with a compatible buffer object:
- Face int attribute: ~0.23ms
- MeshPolygon.loop_start (before): ~1.8ms
- MeshPolygon.loop_start (after): ~0.23ms
foreach_get with a Python list:
- Face int attribute: ~2.2ms
- MeshPolygon.loop_start (before): ~3.4ms
- MeshPolygon.loop_start (after): ~2.2ms
foreach_set with a compatible buffer object:
- Face int attribute: ~0.25ms
- MeshPolygon.loop_start (before): ~2.3ms
- MeshPolygon.loop_start (after): ~0.25ms
foreach_set with a Python list:
- Face int attribute: ~1.1ms
- MeshPolygon.loop_start (before): ~3.1ms
- MeshPolygon.loop_start (after): ~1.1ms

If region overlap was disabled, the full background of the asset shelf
header would be drawn, unlike usually where we keep the space between
button sections transparent. But resizing the region by dragging wasn't
possible from the space between the button sections, even though the
header was fully opaque.
Button section drawing should only be respected when region overlap is
enabled.
The Huang model has issues with fireflies in various scenes, and the
defualt choice is somewhat arbitrary anyway as they have both pros and
cons. For now be conservative and keep the default the same as before.
The asset shelf was hidden by default in 04d22d73f3. But this only
affected existing 3D Views, not newly created ones. This wasn't
intentional, 3D Views should have the same defaults here.
When a spherical reflection probe is in the scene and the viewport
is set to a lookdev world the scene was constantly being updated.
The cause for this was that the reflection probes where updated when
the lookdev shader was compiled, but that is almost always the case.
This PR fixes this by checking the compile status and compile status
change. Only the first time the world has been compiled the world
reflection probe will be marked dirty.

This PR will use "EEVEE (Legacy)" for the legacy EEVEE and renames
"EEVEE Next" to "EEVEE".
When starting Blender EEVEE Legacy will still be the default. We
will change the default to EEVEE when all missing features have been
addressed.
After that we can cleanup idnames and panels etc.

Goal is to reduce the number of command buffer flushes by tracking what is
happening in the different command queues. This is an initial step towards
advanced queue-ing strategies.
The new (intermediate) strategy records commands to different command
buffers based on what they do. There is a command buffer for data transfers,
compute pipelines and graphics pipelines.
When a compute command is recorded it ensures that all graphic commands
are finished. When a graphic command is recorded it ensures all compute
commands are finished. When a graphic or compute command is scheduled
all recorded data transfer commands are scheduled as well.
Some improvements are expected as multiple compute and data transfers
commands can now be scheduled at the same time and don't need to unbind
and rebind render passes. Especially when using EEVEE-Next which is
compute centric the performance change is visible for the user.
