In Blender 2.90 EEVEE materials were refactored that introduced crashes on Intel
GPUs on Windows. The crash happened in the `local_context_workaround` that temporary
stored compiled materials in a binary form to reload it in the main GL context.
It has been tested that the workaround isn't needed anymore for HD6xx GPUs, but it
is still needed for HD4000.
After several unsuccesfull fixes we came to the conclusion that we could not support
the local context workaround and needed to come with a different workaround. The idea
of this patch is that in these cases there is only a single context that is used for
rendering. Threads that uses these contextes are guarded by a mutex and will block.
Impact on User Level:
* Due to main mutex lock the UI freezes when rendering or baking or feel less snappy

This refactor is in response to reports in which the adaptive domain with noise caused a crash (e.g. T79009). It should also fix issues where the smoke appeared to be cut off when using the adaptive domain together with noise. It is also possible that some of these changes improve the lines issue from T74559.
Status Bar can show scene statistics, memory usage, version, etc set by context menu. Part two of T75672.

Ogl default is 4 but for almost all cases, blender use tightly
packed format. This avoid confusion and state change for the
common case.
The only case that __might__ need alignement is DDS loader
(untested) so leaving this as it is.
The vertex colors node was using the M_COL attribute type but Sculpt
Vertex Colors use CD_PROP_COLOR
Now the Vertex Color node also fallbacks to legacy vertex colors if
Scultp Vertex Colors are not enabled as experimental.

This disables all Sculpt Vertex Colors tools, operators, panels and rendering capabilities and puts them under the "Use Sculpt Vertex Colors" experimental option.

It has been tested that local shaders workaround isn't needed for the
latest Windows/Intel 6xx GPU's.
Currently the local shaders workaround doesn't work anymore during the
investigation it was detected that the intel drivers didn't need it
anymore.
Local shaders should still be fixed as it is also used for some legacy
iGPU's. The current work around crashes when doing preview renders in
EEVEE as the default materials aren't available but for the work around
they should. (See T77346 for more information)
Changed variable names from mmd, mds, mfs, and mes to fmd, fds, ffs, and fes. The author of this commits lights a candle for all the merge conflicts this will cause.
This is legacy code from before Eevee and Workbench rendering in background
mode was supported. Avoid memory leak by only queueing GPU textures to be
freed when we know they have been allocated.

Apple's Nvidia driverPROXY check also fails. Now the
configuration Apple/Nvidia will also bypass the
Proxy test.

The face sets color copy to the GPU was done outside of the loop,
probably after a merge error in a rebase.
Also, the default color was initialized using the wrong type.
