This PR fixes a compiler issue when using NVIDIA. It was introduced
when adding the reflection probes. NVIDIA compiler doesn't like
to access elements in a bound resource and pass it directly
as a parameter. It should first be added as a local variable.

All probes (including the world background probe) are stored in a single texture. Each probe
can be of any resolution as long as it is a power of 2 and not larger than 2048. So valid options
are (2048x2048, 1024x1024, 512x512, etc).
Each probe can be stored in their own resolution and can be set by the user.
> NOTE: Eventually we would like to add automatic resolution selection.
The probes are packed in an 2d texture array with the dimension of 2048*2048. The number of
layers depends on the actual needed layers. If more layers are needed the texture will be recreated.
This can happen when a new reflection probe is added, or an existing reflection probe is made visible
to the scene or its resolution is changed.
### Octahedral mapping
Probes are rendered into a cubemap. To reduce memory needs and improve sampling performance the cubemap
is stored in octahedral mapping space. This is done in `eevee_reflection_probe_remap_comp.glsl`.
The regular octahedral mapping has been extended to fix leakages at the edges of the texture
and to be able to be used on an atlas texture and by sampling the texture once.
To reduce sampling cost and improve the quality we add an border around the
octahedral map and extend the octahedral coordinates. This also allows us to
generate lower resolution mipmaps of the atlas texture using 2x2 box filtering
from a higher resolution.
### Subdivisions and areas
Probes data are stored besides the texture. The data is used to find out where the probe is stored
in the texture. It is also used to find free space to store new probes.
This approach ensures that we can be flexible at storing probes with different
resolutions on the same layer. Lets see an example how that works
Code-wise this is implemented by `ProbeLocationFinder`. ProbeLocationFinder can view a texture in a
given subdivision level and mark areas that are covered by probes. When finding a free spot it returns
the first empty area.
**Notes**
* Currently the cubemap is rendered with a fixed resolution and mipmaps are generated in order to
increase the quality of the atlas. Eventually we should use dynamic resolution and no mipmaps.
This will be done as part of the light probe baking change.

This introduces an alias target `bf::intern::atomic` for
`bf_intern_atomic`. This has the following benefits:
- Any target name with `::` in it will be recognized as an actual
target by cmake, rather than a library name it may not know about.
and will be validated by cmake to exist. Which means if you make
a typo in the LIB section, CMake will error out telling you it
doesn't know about this specific target rather than passing it on
to the build system, where you'll either get build or linker errors
because of said typo.
- Given there is quite a cleanup still to do in the build system,
it won't always be obvious which targets have been updated to
modern targets and which still need to be done. Having a namespaced
target name is a good indicator there.

Instead of keeping track of a local array of positions in the modifier
stack itself, use the existing edit mode SoA "edit cache" which already
contains a contiguous array of positions. Combined with positions as a
generic attribute, this means the state is contained just in the mesh
(and the geometry set) making the code much easier to follow.
To do this we make more use of the mesh wrapper system, where we can
pass a `Mesh` that's actually stored with a `BMesh` and the extra
cached array of positions. This also resolves some confusion-- it was
weird to have the mesh wrapper system for this purpose but not use it.
Since we always created a wrapped mesh in edit mode, there's no need
for `MOD_deform_mesh_eval_get` at all anymore. That function was quite
confusing with "eval" in its name when it really retrieved the original
mesh.
Many deform modifiers had placeholder edit mode evaluation functions.
Since these didn't do anything and since the priority is node-based
deformation now, I removed these. The case is documented more in the
modifier type struct callbacks.

Split much of BKE_pbvh.h into BKE_pbvh_api.hh.
BKE_pbvh.h is included by BKE_paint.h, which in
turn is included by large amounts of code including
RNA.
This makes it extremely difficult to change
or clean up the PBVH API, since each modification
of BKE_pbvh.h can take 20-30 minutes to compile,
even on a quad-core system with an SSD. This
commit fixes that by moving most of BKE_pbvh.h
into another file and just having the core,
external-facing interfaces in BKE_pbvh.h.
This utility counts the number of occurrences of each index in an array.
This is used for building mesh topology maps offsets, or for counting
the number of connected elements. Some users are geometry nodes,
the subdivision draw cache, and mesh to curve conversion.

This PR adds support to override the world with the HDRI of the
viewport.
Blurring of the background and camera based rotation isn't supported.
Switching the HDRI would still use the world diffuse light as that is
baked into the irradiance cache.
These issues have been added to #109646

Use octahedral mapping to store probe textures. Octahedral textures are easier to sample
and will increase performance. When extracting the world probe it will first be rendered into
a cubemap. This cubemap will then be remapped using octahedral texture coordinates.
* `CaptureView` captures the world light into a cubemap.
* `CaptureView` triggers the reflection probe module to update the octahedral texture using
the cubemap.
* When sampling reflection probes it will convert the (cubemap) direction to octahedral
coordinate and read from the octahedral texture.

Ensure correct SSBO bindings are present for shadow tests.
Metal validation errors occur if SSBO bindings that are expected are
not bound. In this case, we can bind empty SSBOs, but these should
be of the correct type for the tests.
Also adding missing zero-initializations for required members within
LightData. Without these, unit tests fail with various issues including
prevalence of OOB reads.

Replace `typedef struct X {} X;` with `struct X {};`
In some cases the first and last name didn't match although this
is rarely useful, even a typo in some cases, e.g. TrachPathPoint.
Port Ambient Occlusion to EEVEE Next.
Add support for the AO Node and the AO RenderPass.
AO shading integration is still missing.
This also fixes the Shadow RenderPass.

Add Hair and Curves support to the new Draw Manager.
The `sub_pass_setup` functions bind the required data to an already
created sub-pass, and return the batches needed for drawing.
Add Hair and Curves rendering to Workbench Next:
-Refactor MeshPasses so it's possible to retrieve the pass instead of
letting the class handle the drawing itself.
-Refactor object_sync so the emitter handle can be passed to the
hair_sync function (needed to avoid outlines between hair and emitter)
-Refactor the ObjectState constructor so it's easier to add support for
other object types.
-Update get_material so the slot index starts from 1, to match
BKE_object_material_get_eval.

This PR adds world lighting to the irradiance cache and allows diffuse materials
to be lit by the world. The scene in the reference image is only lit by an environment
texture.
The reflection probe lib has been split into sampling the world probe and evaluating
the world probe. As evaluating the world probe requires to include more libraries and
data structures that aren't really needed for the irradiance cache shaders.

This shuffle around the UBO bindings of EEVEE-Next,
Workbench-Next and DRW internal.
This patch is based under the assumption that all
the target hardwares have at least 12 UBO slots,
which is already required by the GL 4.3 we aim.
This PR adds world probe baking to Eevee-next. The world is baked to a
cubemap and is used for reflective light in the deferred render pass.
The world probe is baked to a resolution of 2048x2048. In the future this
would become a user facing setting, but wasn't considered essential for
the first implementation.
When updating the world cubemap the world surface shader is reused.
Currently the world surface shader clears many render passes. It was
decided to replace the render passes with dummy textures as the effort
and potential slowdown didn't weigh against the benefit of doing this nicely.
Updating the world reflection probe isn't expected to happen often.
A big difference with Eevee(-legacy) is that the roughness GGX reflection
parameter isn't baked into the texture (as mipmap levels), but is calculated
during shading. This improves accuracy as we don't assume that every
object is an infinitive small sphere. The result has more noise and that
will be tackled after SSR will land.

When using `Texture.ensure_cube_array` the resulting texture wasn't actually
layered (array) and when used resulted into incorrect behavior.
Until now this function isn't used, but will be in when Eevee-next
world reflective light PR lands #108149 .

Similar to 5f16e24cc9, this adds support for edit mode
to the point cloud object type, which is currently hidden behind an
experimental option. No interaction is possible yet, for now this
can be used as a testing for a node-group-operator-only mode.
