MTLContext provides functionality for command encoding, binding management and graphics device management. MTLImmediate provides simple draw enablement with dynamically encoded data. These draws utilise temporary scratch buffer memory to provide minimal bandwidth overhead during workload submission.
This patch also contains empty placeholders for MTLBatch and MTLDrawList to enable testing of first pixels on-screen without failure.
The Metal API also requires access to the GHOST_Context to ensure the same pre-initialized Metal GPU device is used by the viewport. Given the explicit nature of Metal, explicit control is also needed over presentation, to ensure correct work scheduling and rendering pipeline state.

Check modifier keys using XKB_STATE_MODS_DEPRESSED which is used
to check if modifiers are physically held. In practice it's unlikely
this would have caused an error for key-maps in common use.
Holding the OS (Windows) key on Win32 used key-repeat behavior.
While as far as I know it didn't cause user visible errors - sending
repeated modifier events isn't expected behavior and doesn't happen
on other platforms (or for other modifier keys).
Handling the OS key now match other modifiers in GHOST which detect
each key separately, making the behavior simpler to reason about since
mapping a single key to a modifier state is simpler, avoiding handling
that only applied to the OS-Key.
This means simulating key up/down events can use the correct modifier.
In the window-manager this is still only accessed accessed via KM_OSKEY.
The pre-processor blocks contained un-balanced braces, causing a syntax
error when building with WAYLAND but not X11.
Use the same number of opening & closing braces in each pre-processor
block so changes aren't as likely to break other platforms.
Also assert when unexpected states are reached.
- Reduce variable scope.
- Use snake-case for variables.
- Remove unnecessary counter when building file-list.
- Remove break after return.
- Use early return.
- Add missing braces.
- Use pascel-case type names, instead of snake-case with `_t` suffix.
- Use `GWL_` prefix (short for GhostWayLand), to distinguish these
types from ghost (`GHOST_*`) and wayland (`wl_*`) types.
- Rename `input` to `seat` (following wayland's own terminology).
- Use `wl_` prefix for wayland native variables which have locally
defined equivalents so `GWL_Output *output` isn't confused with
`struct wl_output *wl_output`. As the locally defined types are used
more often this is less verbose overall.
Enables a feature flag during OpenGL device initialisation on macOS, which increases the available number of texture samplers available for use within shaders. Enabling this flag removes purple rendering artifacts present in certain EEVEE materials, when the existing limit of 16 is exceeded.
This feature flag is supported on Apple Silicon and AMD GPUs, for devices supporting macOS 11.0+. Device initialisation first tests whether GL device creation with the flag is supported, if not, we fall back to standard initialisation.
Other solutions would not be trivial or incur additional performance overhead or feature limitations. Other workarounds, such as texture atlas's, could already be created by artists.

When 'm_render_target' was NULL, backbuffer_res would be used without
being assigned. While it seems likely this code-path is rarely used
(if at all), resolve the logical error.
Introduced in [0], checking the logic here, there seems to be no reason
a press event should ever run release logic, relocate break statement.
In practice this was unlikely to cause problems as peeking into press
events would need to fail, peeking into release would need to succeed.
Even so, better avoid accidental fall through in switch statements.

Same as other build options, don't make it a hard requirement to have
Wayland libraries installed when it gets enabled by default.
Also fixes wayland-protocols not being found on the buildbot.
Regression in recent fix for T66088 [0]. caused by much older problem
introduced with [1] & [2].
Unlike other platforms, as of [1] GHOST/Win32 was keeping track of the
pressed modifier keys.
Since GHOST/Win32 cleared the modifier state on window activation [2]
and only changes to modifier state would generate key events, activating
the window and releasing the modifier would not send the release event.
Resolve this by removing the stored modifier state from GHOST/Win32,
always passing modifier press/release events through to Blender
(matching other GHOST back-ends).
Instead, use key-repeat detection to prevent repeated modifier keys
from being generated - an alternate solution to T26446.

As mentioned in T89399, "the source of this bug is that cursor wrap
moves the cursor, but when it later checks the mouse position it hasn't
yet been updated, so it re-wraps".
As far as I could see, this happens for two reasons:
1. During the first warp, there are already other mousemove events in the queue with an outdated position.
2. Sometimes Windows occasionally and inexplicably ignores `SetCursorPos()` or `SendInput()` events. (See [1])
The solution consists in checking if the cursor is inside the bounds right after wrapping.
If it's not inside, it indicates that the wrapping either didn't work or the event is out of date.
In these cases do not change the "accum" values.

With this patch true headless OpenGL rendering is now possible on Linux.
It changes the logic of the WITH_HEADLESS build flag.
The headless backend is now always available with regular builds and
Blender will try to fall back to it if it fails to initialize other
backends while in background mode.
The headless backend only works on Linux as EGL is not used on Mac or Windows.
libepoxy does support windows and mac, so this can perhaps be remedied in the future.

This cleans up the OpenGL build flags and linking.
It additionally also removes some dead code.
One of these dead code paths is WITH_X11_ALPHA which actually never was
active even with the build flag on. The call to use this was never
called because the default initializer for GHOST was set to have it off
per default. Nothing called this function with a boolean value to enable it.
These cleanups are needed to support true headless OpenGL rendering.
Without these cleanups libepoxy will fail to load the correct OpenGL
Libraries as we have already linked them to the blender binary.

With libepoxy we can choose between EGL and GLX at runtime, as well as
dynamically open EGL and GLX libraries without linking to them.
This will make it possible to build with Wayland, EGL, GLVND support while
still running on systems that only have X11, GLX and libGL. It also paves
the way for headless rendering through EGL.
libepoxy is a new library dependency, and is included in the precompiled
libraries. GLEW is no longer a dependency, and WITH_SYSTEM_GLEW was removed.
