On the Vulkan side, ensure that unbound textures don't result in
accessing uninitialized or out of bounds memory.
On the Draw side, ensure all Hair and Curves attributes have, at least,
a dummy attribute bound.

The numeric levels have no obvious meaning. This removes the distinction
between severity and levels, instead there is a single list of named levels
with defined meaning.
Debug means information that's mainly useful for developers, and trace is for
very verbose code execution tracing.

This PR moves Wayland/HDR support out of experimental.
This allows more people to test and provide feedback. We
can always decide later to disable it for the release, but so
far we only got positive feedback.

Windows/Intel GPU crashes when descriptor buffer cannot be allocated
anymore. This PR enables a workaround by not using descriptor buffers.
In future we should investigate how to improve the GC of descriptor
buffers and review the limits.

In case Blender was able to allocate a vertex buffer for huge geometry,
but isn't able to allocate its staging buffer it would crash. In this
case errors will be reported in the console.
This PR fixes this by clearing the data in stead of uploading.

This change enables HDR support for wayland as an experimental feature.
It supports both non-linear extended sRGB and un-clamped sRGB.
Windows isn't supported as the HDR settings are not accessible via an
API and would require similar settings that games use to configure the
monitor. Adding those sliders isn't what we would like to add.
Vulkan (working group) is working on new extensions that might change
the shortcomings. It isn't clear yet what the extension will do and what
the impact is for applications that want to use it. When the extension
is out we should review at the situation again.

GPU_DATA_UINT_24_8 isn't used anymore. We cannot phase out the data type
as it can still be used by add-ons. This PR will deprecate
`GPU_DATA_UINT_24_8`. When used in an add-on a deprecation message will
be shown.

Metal and AMD/Intel/Vulkan don't support depth24 texture formats
natively. The backends implemented fallback to use depth32f in
stead.
Recently we removed all usages of depth24 to use depth32 and the
next step is to remove the depth24 format and the workarounds in
the backend.
Note: The removal of `GPU_DATA_UINT_24_8` isn't part of this PR.

We detected that the gpu/draw tests could lead to
crashes after the tests where finished. It was
identified that the crash happened as the submission
runner wasn't exited, uses a mutex, that is being
destroyed by the main thread.
Solution is to wait until the submission runner has
finished, before destroying resources.

Depth navigation sends many small render graphs to the device. It can be
that a subsequent render graph uses the same shader as the previous one
with the same descriptor set tracker. The descriptor set tracker didn't
cleared its full state and a subsequent render graph was generating
commands assuming that the device was in a certain state.
However it wasn't and a command to bind a descriptor set was skipped
resulting in a device out of bound write. Depending on the platform this
could overwrite any data on the GPU, including shader programs as the
select shader writes to a storage buffer. This clarifies why the issue
resulted in very odd and none consistent behavior.
This PR fixes this by clearing the VKPipelineData and
VKDescriptorTracker.

When quiting Blender the timeline doesn't get updated and an assert is
triggered that the order isn't correct. The order isn't that important
anymore as the mechanism has been tested. The assert was useful during
initial development.
This PR removes the assert as it isn't valid in all cases.
In several cases synchronization issues around discarded resources could lead
to crashes. These crashes where more prominent on NVIDIA as they reuse
their handles more often.
This PR requires external synchronization when data is moved from a
discard pool to the main orphaned data discard pool. Also the device
timeline should be guarded by the same mutex.

We added descriptor buffers to 4.5 as it contains some core API changes.
However there have been various reports that the system isn't fully
mature resulting in lower performance especially on NVIDIA GPUs.
This PR will disable descriptor buffer feature for NVIDIA GPUs.

This prevents the use of unaligned data types in
vertex formats. These formats are not supported on many
platform.
This simplify the `GPUVertexFormat` class a lot as
we do not need packing shenanigans anymore and just
compute the vertex stride.
The old enums are kept for progressive porting of the
backends and user code.
This will break compatibility with python addons.

Previous implementation allows to move VKBuffers, but didn't do a
proper std::move. On second thought it is a bad idea to be able to move
GPU resources. This PR removes the ability to move the buffer and
replace the usages with a unique ptr.
