This patch adds the texture pool functionality that was previously
only available in the DRW module to the GPU module.
This allows to not rely on global `DST` variable for the managment
of these temporary textures.
Moreover, this can be extended using dedicated GPU backend
specific behavior to reduce the amount of memory needed
to render.
The implementation is mostly copy pasted from the draw implementation
but with more documentation. Also it is simplified since the
`DRW_texture_pool_query` functionality is not needed.

The removal of the loose uniform made the shader not compile.
This patch adds a new define for these type of shaders and add
back the loose uniform.
Note that these shaders might no longer work on Metal as
the source is not parsed anymore.

In renderdoc the debug stack got corrupted when render graphs where
reused. The previous usage didn't clear the stack. This PR clears
the debug stack when render graphs are reset.
Previously, there was a `StringRef.copy` method which would copy the string into
the given buffer. However, it was not defined for the case when the buffer was
too small. It moved the responsibility of making sure the buffer is large enough
to the caller.
Unfortunately, in practice that easily hides bugs in builds without asserts
which don't come up in testing much. Now, the method is replaced with
`StringRef.copy_utf8_truncated` which has much more well defined semantics and
also makes sure that the string remains valid utf-8.
This also renames `unsafe_copy` to `copy_unsafe` to make the naming more similar
to `copy_utf8_truncated`.

Compiling of graphics shaders via gpu crashed. The vulkan backend found
a compute source and continued the evaluation as if it was a compute
shader.
The compute source was added by the preprocessor that wraps the shader
source. Even empty sources were wrapped. Detection based on empty shader
sources failed.
This is not a Vulkan only issue as other platforms would have similar issues when
creating a compute shader.

This patch moves wrapped translation from a special case of the general
transform algorithm to the Translate node. Since the Translate node is
the only user of this special case, it doesn't make sense to complicate
a generate algorithm with it. This will make future refactors of this
code easier.

When using clangd or running clang-tidy on headers there are
currently many errors. These are noisy in IDEs, make auto fixes
impossible, and break features like code completion, refactoring
and navigation.
This makes source/blender headers work by themselves, which is
generally the goal anyway. But #includes and forward declarations
were often incomplete.
* Add #includes and forward declarations
* Add IWYU pragma: export in a few places
* Remove some unused #includes (but there are many more)
* Tweak ShaderCreateInfo macros to work better with clangd
Some types of headers still have errors, these could be fixed or
worked around with more investigation. Mostly preprocessor
template headers like NOD_static_types.h.
Note that that disabling WITH_UNITY_BUILD is required for clangd to
work properly, otherwise compile_commands.json does not contain
the information for the relevant source files.
For more details see the developer docs:

Confusing error messages are printed when requesting a clipped builtin
shader via Python that does not exist.
This PR will remove the confusion of the messaging:
- Replaced BLI_assert_unreachable with an assert as it is reachable
code.
- Adding clipped configuration for POLYLINE_UNIFORM_COLOR

Framebuffers are getting freed in the GPUContext base class destructor. But
the framebuffer destructors use the MTL/VK/GLContext derived class, whose
destructor has already completed at this point. So these contexts are no
longer valid to use.
Now free the framebuffers earlier.
This caused ASAN warnings, it's not known to cause actual bugs.

Both the draw manager and gpu backend used the same compilation
directive for enablement. This PR seperates them into
`WITH_GPU_DRAW_TESTS` for draw manager related tests and
`WITH_GPU_BACKEND_TESTS` for gpu backend related tests.

When running tests `WITH_GTESTS` and `WITH_GPU_DRAW_TESTS` the
GPUShaderCreateInfo's specfically created for the tests could not be
found. This failed running tests on any backend.
This PR fixes this. The root cause what that the name of the compile
directive was incorrect. It should have been `WITH_GTESTS` but was
`WITH_GTEST`.

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.
fix
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.
More details in the PR.

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.

This was caused by querying on the selection state
before it is setup. It is only setup just before
the draw function.
To fix this, we sync the `info_buf` just before
drawing the overlays.
Also add some safety to avoid uninitialized memory.
This happened because NVidia GPUs require higher alignment
for SSBO binds than for vertex inputs.
This is related to #131103 which fixed it for vulkan.
Add a common capability option for that.
This port is not so straightforward.
This shader is used in different configurations and is
available to python bindings. So we need to keep
compatibility with different attributes configurations.
This is why attributes are loaded per component and a
uniform sets the length of the component.
Since this shader can be used from both the imm and batch
API, we need to inject some workarounds to bind the buffers
correctly.
The end result is still less versatile than the previous
metal workaround (i.e.: more attribute fetch mode supported),
but it is also way less code.
### Limitations:
The new shader has some limitation:
- Both `color` and `pos` attributes need to be `F32`.
- Each attribute needs to be 4byte aligned.
- Fetch type needs to be `GPU_FETCH_FLOAT`.
- Primitive type needs to be `GPU_PRIM_LINES`, `GPU_PRIM_LINE_STRIP` or `GPU_PRIM_LINE_LOOP`.
- If drawing using an index buffer, it must contain no primitive restart.
