The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

In Vulkan multiple commands can be in flight simultaneously.
These commands can share resources like descriptor sets or push
constants. When between commands these resources are updated
a new version of the resources should be created.
When a resource is updated it should check the submission id of the
command buffer. If this is different than last known by the resources,
the previous resources should be freed.
If the submission id is the same than previously it has to create a
new version of the resource to not intervene with other commands that
uses the resource before the update.
When the resource wasn't updated between multiple usages in the same
submission id it could reuse the previous resource.
This PR introduces a `ResourceTracker` and a `SubmissionTracker`.
A submission tracker can check if the command buffer is submitted.
In this case all resources of the resource tracker should be freed.
Unmodified resources in the same submission can be shared.
A resource tracker will keep track of all resources that are in
flight. After the resources are used (submission + execution) have
finished the resources can be cleared.

This patch adds a placeholder for the vulkan backend.
When activated (`WITH_VULKAN_BACKEND=On` and `--gpu-backend vulkan`)
it might open a blender screen, but nothing should be visible as
none of the functions are implemented or otherwise crash on a nullptr.
This is expected as this is just a placeholder. The goal is to add shader compilation
+validation to this backend as one of the next steps so we can validate
changes to existing shaders on OpenGL, Metal and Vulkan at the same time.
