On NVIDIA volumetric resolve failed for large production scenes.
The result would remove most color from the final render. The cause
seems to be a faulty driver.
This change ported the fragment shader to a compute shader which
would select a different compiler branch and didn't show the error.
This change adds cryptomatte render passes to EEVEE-Next. Due to the upcoming viewport
compositor we also improved cryptomatte so it will be real-time. This also allows viewing
the cryptomatte passes in the viewport directly.

A surface shader would store any active cryptomatte layer to a texture. Object hash is stored
as R, Asset hash as G and Material hash as B. Hashes are only calculated when the cryptomatte
layer is active to reduce any unneeded work.
During film accumulation the hashes are separated and stored in a texture array that matches
the cryptomatte standard. For the real-time use case sorting is skipped. For final rendering
the samples are sorted and normalized.
NOTE: Eventually we should also do sample normalization in the viewport in order to extract the correct
mask when using the viewport compositor.

Currently, when subdividing every single vertex on every loose edge,
Blender iterates over all other edges to find neighbors. This has
quadratic runtime and can be very slow. Instead, first create a
map of edges connected to each vertex.
With about 10000 edges, the performance goes from very slow to very
smooth in my tests. Because of the nature of quadratic runtime, the
improvement will depend massively on the number of elements.
The only downside to this is that the map will still be built when
there are only a couple loose edges, but that case is probably not
so common.

Replace `mesh_attributes`, `mesh_attributes_for_write` and the point

Use `verts` instead of `vertices` and `polys` instead of `polygons`
in the API added in 05952aa94d. This aligns better with
existing naming where the shorter names are much more common.
In 8cf52e8226 we assumed that the UV IBO's are only needed in edit mode,
however the UV lines also need to work in texture paint mode. So prefer to
use bmesh when available to fix the original bug, but don't assume the face
is hidden when there is no bmesh.

The only real difference between `GPU_SHADER_2D_FLAT_COLOR` and
`GPU_SHADER_3D_FLAT_COLOR` is that in the vertex shader the 2D
version uses `vec4(pos, 0.0, 1.0)` and the 3D version uses
`vec4(pos, 1.0)`.
But VBOs with 2D attributes work perfectly in shaders that use 3D
attributes. Components not specified are filled with components from
`vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)`.
So there is no real benefit to having two different shader versions.
This will simplify porting shaders to python as it will not be
necessary to use a 3D and a 2D version of the shaders.
In python the new name for '2D_FLAT_COLOR'' and '3D_FLAT_COLOR'
is 'FLAT_COLOR', but the old names still work for backward
compatibility.
For copy-on-write, we want to share attribute arrays between meshes
where possible. Mutable pointers like `Mesh.mvert` make that difficult
by making ownership vague. They also make code more complex by adding
redundancy.
The simplest solution is just removing them and retrieving layers from
`CustomData` as needed. Similar changes have already been applied to
curves and point clouds (e9f82d3dc7, 410a6efb74). Removing use of
the pointers generally makes code more obvious and more reusable.
Mesh data is now accessed with a C++ API (`Mesh::edges()` or
`Mesh::edges_for_write()`), and a C API (`BKE_mesh_edges(mesh)`).
The CoW changes this commit makes possible are described in T95845
and T95842, and started in D14139 and D14140. The change also simplifies
the ongoing mesh struct-of-array refactors from T95965.
**RNA/Python Access Performance**
Theoretically, accessing mesh elements with the RNA API may become
slower, since the layer needs to be found on every random access.
However, overhead is already high enough that this doesn't make a
noticible differenc, and performance is actually improved in some
cases. Random access can be up to 10% faster, but other situations
might be a bit slower. Generally using `foreach_get/set` are the best
way to improve performance. See the differential revision for more
discussion about Python performance.
Cycles has been updated to use raw pointers and the internal Blender
mesh types, mostly because there is no sense in having this overhead
when it's already compiled with Blender. In my tests this roughly
halves the Cycles mesh creation time (0.19s to 0.10s for a 1 million
face grid).

This replaces the direct shader uniform layout declaration by a linear
search through a global buffer.
Each instance has an attribute offset inside the global buffer and an
attribute count.
This removes any padding and tighly pack all uniform attributes inside
a single buffer.
This would also remove the limit of 8 attribute but it is kept because of
compatibility with the old system that is still used by the old draw
manager.
This is a new implementation of the draw manager using modern
rendering practices and GPU driven culling.
This only ports features that are not considered deprecated or to be
removed.
The old DRW API is kept working along side this new one, and does not
interfeer with it. However this needed some more hacking inside the
draw_view_lib.glsl. At least the create info are well separated.
The reviewer might start by looking at `draw_pass_test.cc` to see the
API in usage.
Important files are `draw_pass.hh`, `draw_command.hh`,
`draw_command_shared.hh`.
In a nutshell (for a developper used to old DRW API):
- `DRWShadingGroups` are replaced by `Pass<T>::Sub`.
- Contrary to DRWShadingGroups, all commands recorded inside a pass or
sub-pass (even binds / push_constant / uniforms) will be executed in order.
- All memory is managed per object (except for Sub-Pass which are managed
by their parent pass) and not from draw manager pools. So passes "can"
potentially be recorded once and submitted multiple time (but this is
not really encouraged for now). The only implicit link is between resource
lifetime and `ResourceHandles`
- Sub passes can be any level deep.
- IMPORTANT: All state propagate from sub pass to subpass. There is no
state stack concept anymore. Ensure the correct render state is set before
drawing anything using `Pass::state_set()`.
- The drawcalls now needs a `ResourceHandle` instead of an `Object *`.
This is to remove any implicit dependency between `Pass` and `Manager`.
This was a huge problem in old implementation since the manager did not
know what to pull from the object. Now it is explicitly requested by the
engine.
- The pases need to be submitted to a `draw::Manager` instance which can
be retrieved using `DRW_manager_get()` (for now).
Internally:
- All object data are stored in contiguous storage buffers. Removing a lot
of complexity in the pass submission.
- Draw calls are sorted and visibility tested on GPU. Making more modern
culling and better instancing usage possible in the future.
- Unit Tests have been added for regression testing and avoid most API
breakage.
- `draw::View` now contains culling data for all objects in the scene
allowing caching for multiple views.
- Bounding box and sphere final setup is moved to GPU.
- Some global resources locations have been hardcoded to reduce complexity.
What is missing:
- ~~Workaround for lack of gl_BaseInstanceARB.~~ Done
- ~~Object Uniform Attributes.~~ Done (Not in this patch)
- Workaround for hardware supporting a maximum of 8 SSBO.

This was caused by un-wanted normalization. This is a requirement of

issue AND make it match cycles behavior better (mix between bump and

Use lowercase rgba channel names which still by-passes lossy nature

happy.
Thanks Steffen Dünner for testing this patch!
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15834
The DWA compression code in OpenEXR has hardcoded rules which decides
which channels are lossy or lossless. There is no control over these
rules via API.
This change makes it so channel names of xyzw is used for cryptomatte
passes in Cycles. This works around the hardcoded rules in the DWA code
making it so lossless compression is used. It is important to use lower
case y channel name as the upper case Y uses lossy compression.
The change in the channel naming also makes it so the write code uses
32bit for the cryptomatte even when saving half-float EXR.
Fixes T96933: Cryptomatte layers saved incorrectly with EXR DWA compression
Fixes T88049: Cryptomatte EXR Output Bit Depth should always be 32bit
