Currently render passes in the draw manager (eevee) must be predefined
in the render result. This patch would ask the render engine for the
render passes it needs, and create these as a preparation step during
rendering. This allows any draw engine to define more complex render
passes setup.
Render passes can only be added before the call to `RE_engine_begin_result`.
`RE_engine_begin_result` makes a full copy of the render passes. During
rendering the render engines renders to the duplicated passes.
`RE_engine_end_result` syncs the data back to the original render passes,
but only if the passes existed in the original render result.
Currently we work-around this issue by registering the passes in
`render_result_new`. This is legacy blender internal structure and should
be avoided.
With upcoming projects (AOV/Cryptomatte) it becomes a bit of a mess as we
are extending legacy code to support new features. This patch allows us to
let each draw engine register their own render passes at render time
(similar to cycles and other render engines). In the future we could get
rid of legacy render passes registration in render_result_new.

This changes how the simplify volumes setting works. Before, it only
affeted viewport rendering. This was an issue, because all internal
computations would still have to happen on the high resolution volumes.
With this patch, the simplify setting already affects file loading and
procedural generation of volumes.
Rendering does not have to care about the simplify option anymore,
it just gets the correct simplified version from the depsgraph.

Issue caused by {9582797d4b50} in b2.90. The surface per material used
an index buffer owned by the batch. These index buffers are created at
the same time the surface tris index buffer was created. When a material
per batch buffer was invalidated it used the surface tris index buffer
rendering all materials on all surfaces making the last draw command
render succeed.
This patch stores the surface tris per material in the cache so they can
be reused. There is also no need to use the `saved_elem_ranges` anymore as they are
now part of the cache.
The ugly bit of the implementation is that in `extract_tris_finish` the
MeshBufferCache is retrieved. But as this part was already documented as
a hack and it is something that is only used for final meshes. Other
solutions would impact performance or made the fix not condensed
(passing parameters that shouldn't be used).

The overlay options in the image/uv editor is hidden in side panels and menus. Sometimes this panel is even hidden, while still useful.
The goal of this task is to introduce an overlay pop-over just like the overlay-popover of the 3d viewport.
Popover has
* UV Stretching (only available in the UV mode, when active object mode is a mesh and in OB_EDIT mode)
* Display As (only available in the UV mode, when active object mode is a mesh and in OB_EDIT mode)
* Show Modified (only available in the UV mode, when active object mode is a mesh and in OB_EDIT mode)
* Show UV Edges (including opacity slider; available UV, View, Paint, when active object mode is a mesh and in OB_EDIT mode)
* Udim tiles when no image is available.
Like the 3d viewport, there will be a editor toggle to enable/disable the overlays
For compatibility reasons the RNA properties are added to both the `SpaceImage.uv_editor` amd `SpaceImage.overlay`. On DNA level they are still stored in the SpaceImage. only new properties are added to the SpaceImageOverlay struct. During the next major release we could remove these options from `SpaceImage.uv_editor`. This should be noted in the Python section of release notes.

The alloc was done in the init, but the free was done in the discard.
As discarding can happen more often there were some unneeded if
statements to work around use after free.
This patch moves the free to the `mesh_batch_cache_clear` and removes
the if statements to check for use after free.
The adds a new option to simplify volumes in the viewport.
The setting can be found in the Simplify panel in the render properties.
Volume objects use OpenVDB grids, which are sparse. For rendering,
we have to convert sparse grids to dense grids (for now). Those require
significantly more memory. Therefore, it's often a good idea to reduce
the resolution of volumes in the viewport.

Previously, one could only select a volume object in the outliner
or by clicking on the object origin. This patch allows you to click

Furthermore, the generated (invisible) mesh that is used for

Previously, it was kind of a mess. In different places it was using `char`, `short` and `int`.
The changed properties are flags that are operated upon using bit operations. Therefore, the integer type should be unsigned. Since we only use 2 bits of these flags, `uint8_t` is large enough.
Especially note the change I had to make in `RNA_define.h` to make this work.

Debug groups makes it easier to view from where an error comes from.
The backend can also implement its own callback to make it easier to
follow the API call structure in frame debuggers.
This was caused by a left over DRWPass->state modification
that made the subsequent samples redraw without Blending enabled.
This led to incorrect blending.
The fix is to use the new API for pass instancing.
This was caused by a missing state apply.
We force the GPUState to be set after the callbacks to avoid
desync between our state tracker and the real gl state.
This fixes some issues but a better general fix for all BGL would
be better.
This fix T80297 2.91 texture alpha is not transparent
This wraps the functionality used to speedup EEVEE volumetrics.
This touches the rendering code of EEVEE as it should fix a mis-usage of
the GL barrier. The barrier changed type and location, removing an
unused barrier.
In a recent update to the fluids modifier (rB03c2439d96e8), I introduced a flush call that sets all grids to NULL if the frame is outside of the allowed frame range. This way, the texture creation function must also check if the data grid is NULL before trying to create a texture.

This project moves the current UV/Image editor drawing to the draw manager.
Why would we do this:
**Performance**:
Current implementation would draw each texel per time. Multiple texels could be
drawn per pixel what would overwrite the previous result. You can notice this
when working with large textures. Repeat image drawing made this visible by
drawing for a small period of time and stop drawing the rest. Now the rendering
is fast and all repeated images are drawn.
**Alpha drawing**:
Current implementation would draw directly in display space. Giving incorrect
results when displaying alpha transparent images.
This addresses {T52680}, {T74709}, {T79518}
The image editor now can show emission only colors. See {D8234} for
examples.
**Current Limitations**
Using images that are larger than supported by your GPU are resized (eg larger
than 16000x16000 are resized to 8k). This leaves some blurring artifacts. It is
a low priority to add support back of displaying individual pixels of huge
images. There is a design task {T80113} with more detail.
**Implementation overview**
Introduced an Image Engine in the draw module. this engine is responsible for
drawing the texture in the main area of the UV/Image editor. The overlay engine
has a edit_uv overlay which is responsible to draw the UV's, shadows and
overlays specifically for the UV Image editor. The background + checker pattern
is drawn by the overlay_background.
The patch will allow us to share overlays between the 3d viewport and UV/Image
editor more easily. In most cases we just need to switch the `pos` with the `u`
attribute in the vertex shader.
The project can be activated in the user preferences as experimental features.
In a later commit this will be reversed.
