This is a first part of the Shader Create Info system could be.
A shader create info provides a way to define shader structure, resources
and interfaces. This makes for a quick way to provide backend agnostic
binding informations while also making shader variations easy to declare.
- Clear source input (only one file). Cleans up the GPU api since we can create a
shader from one descriptor
- Resources and interfaces are generated by the backend (much simpler than parsing).
- Bindings are explicit from position in the array.
- GPUShaderInterface becomes a trivial translation of enums and string copy.
- No external dependency to third party lib.
- Cleaner code, less fragmentation of resources in several libs.
- Easy to modify / extend at runtime.
- no parser involve, very easy to code.
- Does not hold any data, can be static and kept on disc.
- Could hold precompiled bytecode for static shaders.
This also includes a new global dependency system.
GLSL shaders can include other sources by using #pragma BLENDER_REQUIRE(...).
This patch already migrated several builtin shaders. Other shaders should be migrated
one at a time, and could be done inside master.
There is a new compile directive `WITH_GPU_SHADER_BUILDER` this is an optional
directive for linting shaders to increase turn around time.
What is remaining:
- pyGPU API {T94975}
- Migration of other shaders. This could be a community effort.

Can give considerably faster linking, especially on system with many

The mold linker recently reached 1.0, see:
https://github.com/rui314/mold
The current stable release of GCC can't use this linker via
-fuse-ld=mold, so this patch uses the "-B" argument to add a binary
directory containing an alternate "ld" command that points to
"mold" (which is part of the default mold installation).

This patch implements the vector types (i.e:`float2`) by making heavy
usage of templating. All vector functions are now outside of the vector
classes (inside the `blender::math` namespace) and are not vector size
dependent for the most part.
In the ongoing effort to make shaders less GL centric, we are aiming
to share more code between GLSL and C++ to avoid code duplication.
####Motivations:
- We are aiming to share UBO and SSBO structures between GLSL and C++.
This means we will use many of the existing vector types and others
we currently don't have (uintX, intX). All these variations were
asking for many more code duplication.
- Deduplicate existing code which is duplicated for each vector size.
- We also want to share small functions. Which means that vector
functions should be static and not in the class namespace.
- Reduce friction to use these types in new projects due to their
incompleteness.
- The current state of the `BLI_(float|double|mpq)(2|3|4).hh` is a
bit of a let down. Most clases are incomplete, out of sync with each
others with different codestyles, and some functions that should be
static are not (i.e: `float3::reflect()`).
####Upsides:
- Still support `.x, .y, .z, .w` for readability.
- Compact, readable and easilly extendable.
- All of the vector functions are available for all the vectors types
and can be restricted to certain types. Also template specialization
let us define exception for special class (like mpq).
- With optimization ON, the compiler unroll the loops and performance
is the same.
####Downsides:
- Might impact debugability. Though I would arge that the bugs are
rarelly caused by the vector class itself (since the operations are
quite trivial) but by the type conversions.
- Might impact compile time. I did not saw a significant impact since
the usage is not really widespread.
- Functions needs to be rewritten to support arbitrary vector length.
For instance, one can't call `len_squared_v3v3` in
`math::length_squared()` and call it a day.
- Type cast does not work with the template version of the `math::`
vector functions. Meaning you need to manually cast `float *` and
`(float *)[3]` to `float3` for the function calls.
i.e: `math::distance_squared(float3(nearest.co), positions[i]);`
- Some parts might loose in readability:
`float3::dot(v1.normalized(), v2.normalized())`
becoming
`math::dot(math::normalize(v1), math::normalize(v2))`
But I propose, when appropriate, to use
`using namespace blender::math;` on function local or file scope to
increase readability.
`dot(normalize(v1), normalize(v2))`
####Consideration:
- Include back `.length()` method. It is quite handy and is more C++
oriented.
- I considered the GLM library as a candidate for replacement. It felt
like too much for what we need and would be difficult to extend / modify
to our needs.
- I used Macros to reduce code in operators declaration and potential
copy paste bugs. This could reduce debugability and could be reverted.
- This touches `delaunay_2d.cc` and the intersection code. I would like
to know @howardt opinion on the matter.
- The `noexcept` on the copy constructor of `mpq(2|3)` is being removed.
But according to @JacquesLucke it is not a real problem for now.
I would like to give a huge thanks to @JacquesLucke who helped during this
and pushed me to reduce the duplication further.

This patch adds a CMake option "WITH_CYCLES_DEBUG" which builds cycles with
a feature that allows debugging/selecting the direct-light sampling strategy.
The same option may later be used to add other debugging features that could
affect performance in release builds.
The three options are:
* Forward path tracing (e.g., via BSDF or phase function)
* Next-event estimation
* Multiple importance sampling combination of the previous two methods
Such a feature is useful for debugging light different sampling, evaluation,
and pdf methods (e.g., for light sources and BSDFs).
