Update the command line help message to reflect the actual image output
formats available. Remove mention of IRIZ and DDS, rename MPEG to
FFMPEG. HDR and TIFF are always valid now.

It was only used by OpenEXR and Iris images, and saving the Z Buffer
in those formats was disabled by default. This option comes from the
times prior to the addition of the Multilayer EXR.
It also worth noting that it was not possible to save Iris with Depth
pass from Blender as internally it is called IRIZ format and it was
not exposed. But even after exposing this format option something still
was missing as saving and loading ITIZ did not show up the Depth pass.
The reason of removal is to make it a more clear match of the ImBuf
with a render pass, and use it instead of a custom type in the render
result and render pass API. This will simplify the API and also avoid
stealing buffers and making shallow copies when showing the render
result.
For the cases when Depth is needed a Multilayer EXR is to be used,
as most likely more than just the Depth will be needed.
On a user level this change:
- Removes the "Z Buffer" option from the interface.
- It preserves existing sockets in compositor nodes, but it will
output black image. Also changing the image data-block will
remove the socket unless a Multilayer EXR with Depth pass image
is selected.
- Removes "Depth" socket of the Viewer and Composite nodes.

A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
The goal is to make it more explicit and centralized operation to
assign and steal buffer data, with proper ownership tracking.
The buffers and ownership flags are wrapped into their dedicated
structures now.
There should be no functional changes currently, it is a preparation
for allowing implicit sharing of the ImBuf buffers. Additionally, in
the future it is possible to more buffer-specific information (such
as color space) next to the buffer data itself. It is also possible
to clean up the allocation flags (IB_rect, ...) to give them more
clear naming and not have stored in the ImBuf->flags as they are only
needed for allocation.
The most dangerous part of this change is the change of byte buffer
data from `int*` to `uint8_t*`. In a lot of cases the byte buffer was
cast to `uchar*`, so those casts are now gone. But some code is
operating on `int*` so now there are casts in there. In practice this
should be fine, since we only support 64bit platforms, so allocations
are aligned. The real things to watch out for here is the fact that
allocation and offsetting from the byte buffer now need an explicit 4
channel multiplier.
Once everything is C++ it will be possible to simplify public
functions even further.

Previously accessing the extension needed to ensure an extension
on an empty path.
This conflicted with DEBUG_STRSIZE as it was assumed the input was
FILE_MAX, where as it was a small buffer with RNA, see: !107602.
Resolve by separating the function that ensures the extension
with the function that finds valid extensions for a format.
Also pass the size of the filepath to functions that ensure the
extension.
- Rename name/filename/path to filepath when it's used for full paths.
- Rename name/path to dirpath when it refers to a directory.
- Rename file to filepath or path (when it may be a file or dir).
- Rename ImBuf::name & anim::name to filepath.
This checkin will use OIIO to replace the image save/load code for BMP,
DDS, DPX, HDR, PNG, TGA, and TIFF.
This simplifies our build environment, reduces binary duplication,
removes large amounts of hard to maintain code, and fixes some bugs
along the way.
It should also help reduce rare differences between Blender and Cycles
which already uses OIIO for most situations. Or potentially makes them
easier to solve once discovered.
This is a continuation of the work for #101413
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/105785
During the discussion for #101413 there was consensus that we could make
OIIO a mandatory dependency. This patch does just that.
The `idiff` testing tool remains optional.

Previously, the Blender video renderer did not have support for
encoding video to AV1 (not to be confused with the container AVI).
The proposed solution is to leverage the existing FFMpeg renderer
to encode to AV1.
Note that avcodec_find_encoder(AV_CODEC_ID_AV1) usually returns
"libaom-av1" which is the "reference implementation" for AV1 encoding
(the default for FFMpeg, and is slow). "libsvtav1" is faster and
preferred so there is extra handling when fetching the AV1 codec for
encoding such that "libsvtav1" is used when possible.
This commit should only affect the options available for video
rendering, which includes the additional AV1 codec to choose from, and
setting "-crf".
Also note that the current release of FFMpeg for ArchLinux does not
support "-crf" for "libsvtav1", but the equivalent option "-qp" is
supported and used as a fallback when "libsvtav1" is used (as
mentioned here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AV1#SVT-AV1 ).
(Actually, both "-crf" and "-qp" is specified with the same value in
the code. When a release of FFMpeg obtains support for "-crf" for
"libsvtav1" is released, the code shouldn't be needed to change.)
The usage of the AV1 codec should be very similar to the usage of the
H264 codec, but is limited to the "mp4" and "mkv" containers.
This patch pertains to the "VFX & Video" module, as its main purpose
is to supplement the Video Sequencer tool with the additional AV1
codec for encoded video output.

* Respect the image file color space setitng for saving in various cases where
it was previously ignored. Previously it would often use the sRGB or Linear
color space even when not selected.
* For the Save As operator, add a Color Space option in the file browser to
choose the color space of the file. Previously this was chosen automatically,
now it's possible to e.g. resave a Linear image as Linear ACES.
* When changing the file format, the colorspace is automatically changed to an
appropriate color space for the file format. This already happened before, but
there was no visibility or control in the operator settings for this.
* Don't change color space when using the Save operator to save over the same
file.
* Fix missing color space conversion for 16 bit PNGs, where it assumed wrongly
assumed ibuf->rect would be used for saving. Add BKE_image_format_is_byte to
more accurately test this.

Currently only supports single image frames (no animation possible).
If quality slider is set to 100 then lossless compression will be used,
otherwise lossy compression is used.
Gives about 35% reduction of filesize save when re-saving splash screens with lossless
compression.
Also saves much faster, up to 15x faster than PNG with a better compression ratio as a plus.
Note, this is currently left disabled until we have WebP libs (see T95206)

The Output Properties > Output panel now has a Color Management subpanel to
override scene settings. When set to Override instead of Follow Scene, there
are settings to:
* For OpenEXR, choose a (linear) colorspace for RGBA passes
* For other file formats, use different display/view/look/exposure/gamma
These settings affect animation render output, image save of renders and the
compositor file output node. Additionally, the image save operator and
compositor file output nodes also support overriding color management.
Includes some layout changes to the relevant panels to accomdate the new
settings and to improve consistency. Ideally subpanels would be used to better
organize these settings, however nodes and operators don't currently support
creating subpanels.

Make a copy of ImageFormatData that contains the effective color management
settings, and pass that along to the various functions. This will make it
possible to add more complex logic later.
For compositing nodes, passing along view and display settings through
many functions made it harder to add additional settings, so just get those
from the scene now.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14401
Also fixes missing code to read/write/free/copy color management settings
in various places. This can't be set through the UI currently, but still
should be handled consistently.
