MoltenVK dynamic rendering is built on top of render passes and framebuffers.
This also means that dynamic rendering has the same limitations.
This PR enables the workarounds for gaps between attachments for MoltenVK.

Use static CreateInfos for Overlay-Next shaders using a similar approach to Workbench shader variations.
Remove unused infos and shader sources.
Remove the `gpu_shader_create_info_get_unfinalized_copy` workaround.

Rendering animations from Python scripts via `bpy.ops.render.opengl()`
did not trigger any of the notifications in the Metal back-end to
indicate a frame had been rendered and that the associated resources
could be released. This adds a call to GPU_render_step() after each
render. For the original asset in the bug report this reduces the high
memory watermark from 30gb to 13gb for 500 frames. 13gb is likely
still too high and therefore it is likely there are additional leaks
that need to be addressed so this should only be considered a partial
fix.

In Blender 4.4 (since commit 00a8d006fe), polyline shaders stopped
using geometry shaders and now rely on SSBOs.
In C++, workarounds allow these shaders to function as before, albeit
with some limitations.
However, this change broke the `batch_for_shader` function in Python,
as `GPUShader.attrs_info_get()` only reads attributes and does not
support SSBOs.
To address this, the method now treats polyline shaders differently,
accessing SSBO inputs instead of attributes.

This enables moving elements form one vector to another.
Usually this is being doing by extending a vector with the content
from the secondary vector and then clearing the secondary vector.
However sometimes this being performed to transfer ownership of managed elements,
if elements are copied from the secondary vector, but not cleared, this could
lead to 2 vectors to share ownership of objects.

NVIDIA driver before 550 doesn't work as expected on Linux. The issue is
known on the internet, but no real solutions are provided.
This change will limit the block list of older driver to the Linux
platform only. It has been reported that Windows these driver are
working and would enable older GPUs to work on Windows.

Vulkan version 1.2 supports Workgroup execution model. Vulkan 1.3
introduced the LocalSizeId execution model and has been backported in
the VK_KHR_maintenance4 extension. In future SPIR-V versions the
Workgroup execution model will be deprecated.
This PR checks the availability of VK_KHR_maintenance4 extension and
when enabled compile the shaders towards Vulkan 1.3. This would
automatically use the LocalSizeId execution model.

When using a texture as attachment it must be created witht the
GPU_TEXTURE_USAGE_ATTACHMENT flag. If this is not the case it would lead
to incorrect usage in Vulkan. This change adds asserts to detect
incorrect usage.

GPU_texture_clear was only used for clearing color textures, but that
changed recently. This PR adds supports for clearing depth/stencil
textures using GPU_texture_clear.

Depth 24 stencil 8 texture could not be cleared directly. Recently
GPUViewports clear their attachments when created. This resulted into
non consistent behavior between backends.
This change adds support to clear depth 24 stencil 8 textures using
`GPU_texture_clear`. The implementation currently assumes that the input
value is a float.

GPUViewport is creating a bunch of framebuffer textures for itself, but
some space types never initialize/use them. E.g. Sequencer, Nodes etc.
only ever use the "overlay" texture. Eventually when viewport is
"drawn", it combines this uninitialized texture data and then only by
luck it happens that most of the time it is black. But not always!
The textures were only cleared (right now) on Metal backend, under
GPU_clear_viewport_workaround as if it was some driver workaround. Stop
doing that, and just clear them always.
However, there was seemingly a performance issue on OpenGL, when this
clear was being done. At least on my machine (Win10, Geforce RTX
3080Ti), the overhead of doing the clears is measurable, and is caused
by usage of GL4.4 glClearTexImage instead of a framebuffer clear. As if
glClearTexImage makes "pixel data to exist" on the CPU side and then
later on binding this framebuffer sends off that data to the GPU, or
somesuch.

The string `msl_patch_default` can have been read
partially uninitialized or initialized multiple
time and read uncomplete during multithreaded
compilation.
This should fix the GPU tests randomly failing on mac.
While this would never fail when blender runs from the UI (since
UI shaders are init in single threaded manner and always compile
before EEVEE shaders), this race condition could happen when running
EEVEE through background rendering or running tests.

Reduces the number of times a graphic context needs to be paused/resumed.
The scheduler reorders the nodes to put these initial data transfer nodes
to the start of the nodes that are about to be submitted.

Move the Gamma Correction pass of blur nodes into its own algorithm to
avoid code duplication and optimize pixel access, since gamma is now
applied for each pixel in the filter window. Gives a 15% improvement.

Devices reported by failing drivers were still part of the device
selection list. When selected they would never be picked.
This change hides these devices from the UI

In OpenGL the last vertex is the provoking vertex. In Vulkan the first
vertex is the provoking vertex. This PR uses `VK_EXT_provoking_vertex`
to use the last vertex as the provoking vertex.

Continuation of #131332.
Including built-in headers in VS2019 ends up including `corecrt_math.h`
as a side effect, which has many functions that overlap in name with
our stubs.
This puts the conflicting functions inside its own namespace (`glsl`)
and declares macros for them.
(Note this has the side effect of not allowing us to use those as
variable names)
This also removes the `<cassert>` and `<cstdio>` includes.

There seems to be an issue inside Intel OpenGL driver of legacy
platforms that fails to link `gpu_shader_sequencer_strips`.
Uniform locations are used to fix an specialization constants issue.
This PR only adds the uniform location when the shader can be
specialized. It is unclear what is actually failing inside the driver
but there are other issues with the driver.

When copying from/to depth stencil images the aspect of the image was
set incorrectly. It pointed to only one aspect of the full image when
building resource links, which could lead to incorrect decisions in the
driver.
Found when researching #131269

The new buffer size could have been non aligned when using the
fractional growing heuristic. This non aligned allocation
would then trigger an assert at the SSBO constructor.
Aligning the alocation size fixes the issue.
GPU and GHOST require to have identical checks to remove faulty drivers.
When not done GHOST can still select a device that isn't supported and
lead to freezing interfaces.
