When drawing the image editor the depth of the geometry is set to -1.
This will be clipped in Vulkan, but is valid in OpenGL. This PR patches
the shader to be inside the range that both Vulkan and OpenGL support.
This ensures that images are visible in the image editor.

When GLSL sources were first included in Blender they were treated as
data (like blend files) and had no license header.
Since then GLSL has been used for more sophisticated features
(EEVEE & real-time compositing)
where it makes sense to include licensing information.
Add SPDX copyright headers to *.glsl files, matching headers used for
C/C++, also include GLSL files in the license checking script.
As leading C-comments are now stripped,
added binary size of comments is no longer a concern.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.

Using ClangBuildAnalyzer on the whole Blender build, it was pointing
out that BLI_math.h is the heaviest "header hub" (i.e. non tiny file
that is included a lot).
However, there's very little (actually zero) source files in Blender
that need "all the math" (base, colors, vectors, matrices,
quaternions, intersection, interpolation, statistics, solvers and
time). A common use case is source files needing just vectors, or
just vectors & matrices, or just colors etc. Actually, 181 files
were including the whole math thing without needing it at all.
This change removes BLI_math.h completely, and instead in all the
places that need it, includes BLI_math_vector.h or BLI_math_color.h
and so on.
Change from that:
- BLI_math_color.h was included 1399 times -> now 408 (took 114.0sec
to parse -> now 36.3sec)
- BLI_simd.h 1403 -> 418 (109.7sec -> 34.9sec).
Full rebuild of Blender (Apple M1, Xcode, RelWithDebInfo) is not
affected much (342sec -> 334sec). Most of benefit would be when
someone's changing BLI_simd.h or BLI_math_color.h or similar files,
that now there's 3x fewer files result in a recompile.
Pull Request #110944
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
The goal is to make it more explicit and centralized operation to
assign and steal buffer data, with proper ownership tracking.
The buffers and ownership flags are wrapped into their dedicated
structures now.
There should be no functional changes currently, it is a preparation
for allowing implicit sharing of the ImBuf buffers. Additionally, in
the future it is possible to more buffer-specific information (such
as color space) next to the buffer data itself. It is also possible
to clean up the allocation flags (IB_rect, ...) to give them more
clear naming and not have stored in the ImBuf->flags as they are only
needed for allocation.
The most dangerous part of this change is the change of byte buffer
data from `int*` to `uint8_t*`. In a lot of cases the byte buffer was
cast to `uchar*`, so those casts are now gone. But some code is
operating on `int*` so now there are casts in there. In practice this
should be fine, since we only support 64bit platforms, so allocations
are aligned. The real things to watch out for here is the fact that
allocation and offsetting from the byte buffer now need an explicit 4
channel multiplier.
Once everything is C++ it will be possible to simplify public
functions even further.

Blender 3.5 has a performance regression in the image engine
that made the image engine 3-4x slower then 3.4. The cause of
this was the new way how panning was implemented.
This PR disables the new panning for now as a short term fix.
In the future the panning and improvements we did ensured
better performance when dealing with higher resolution images.
But the regression for regular images weren't acceptable.
This fix might introduce other performance regressions on
lower end systems.
In the future we still want to improve the performance to
get back to Blender 3.0 performance, but that requires more
work and has a different priority.

This patch refactors the texture samples code by mainly splitting the
eGPUSamplerState enum into multiple smaller enums and packing them
inside a GPUSamplerState struct. This was done because many members of
the enum were mutually exclusive, which was worked around during setting
up the samplers in the various backends, and additionally made the API
confusing, like the GPU_texture_wrap_mode function, which had two
mutually exclusive parameters.
The new structure also improved and clarified the backend sampler cache,
reducing the cache size from 514 samplers to just 130 samplers, which
also slightly improved the initialization time. Further, the
GPU_SAMPLER_MAX signal value was naturally incorporated into the
structure using the GPU_SAMPLER_STATE_TYPE_INTERNAL type.
The only expected functional change is in the realtime compositor, which
now supports per-axis repetition control, utilizing new API functions
for that purpose.
This patch is loosely based on an older patch D14366 by Ethan Hall.

For example
```

becomes
```

Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for

Translating an image in fullframe compositor now also translates
the backdrop image for the viewer node.
Attached gif shows the behavior. Notice how gizmo moves with correct
values with the image but the frame stays to indicate what will get
rendered.
Note: This patch is a continuation of [D12750]

display offset on screen was not computed correctly. This has now

Discard is not always treated as an explicit return and flow control can continue for required derivative calculations. This behaviour is different in Metal vs OpenGL. Adding return after discards ensures consistency in expectation as behaviour is well-defined.

Image Transform use linear or nearest sampling during editing and exporting.
This gets sampling is fine for images that aren't scaled. When sequencing
however you mostly want use some sort of scaling, that leads to poorer
quality.
This change will use sub-sampling to improve the quality. This is only
enabled when rendering. During editing the subsampling is disabled to
keep the user interface reacting as expected.
Another improvement is that image transform is stopped at the moment
it hadn't sampled at least 4 samples for a scan line. In that case we
expect that there are no further samples that would change to result.
In a future patch this could be replaced by a ray/bounding bo intersection
as that would remove some unneeded loops in both the single sampled and
sub sampled approach.
Use a consistent style for declaring the names of struct members
in their declarations. Note that this convention was already used in
many places but not everywhere.
Remove spaces around the text (matching commented arguments) with
the advantage that the the spell checking utility skips these terms.

Also use struct names for `bAnimChannelType` & `bConstraintTypeInfo`

Image engine uses 4 gpu textures that are as large as the area being
drawn. The amount of needed GPU memory can be reduced by dividing the
region in smaller parts. Reducing the GPU memory also reduces the stalls
when updating the textures, improving the performance as well.
This optimization works, but is disabled for now due to some rounding
errors that drawn lines on the screen where the screen is divided.
It used to be a number of fixed full screen images where the
responsibility was at image engine. Now moved the responsibility to the
drawing mode to make sure we can allocate non-full region-size textures
in a future refactoring.
`get_gpu_textures` was created when the image engine didn't support
texture streaming and used the gpu textures that were stored in the
image buffer itself.
Float images loaded in Blender are converted to scene linear and don't
require additional conversion. Image engine can reuse the rect_float of
those images. An assert statement is added tp make this more clear and
to test on missing code paths or future developments.
Texture usage flags can now be provided during texture creation specifying
the ways in which a texture can be used. This allows the GPU backends to
perform contextual optimizations which were not previously possible. This
includes enablement of hardware lossless compression which can result in
a 15%+ performance uplift for bandwidth-limited scenes on hardware such
as Apple-Silicon using Metal.
GPU_TEXTURE_USAGE_GENERAL can be used by default if usage is not known
ahead of time. Patch will also be relevant for the Vulkan backend.

Image engine is used to draw the image inside the image editor, uv editor and node editor. The
performance during scrolling wasn't smooth when using larger textures on a dedicated GPU. Main
reason was the data transfers that happens when panning the image.
The original idea of the image engine was to have 4 textures that are as large as the editor.
Those textures would be used to simulate a larger canvas where if the texture is out of the
visible area the texture would be reused to contain the data of a new visible area. This would
reduce the data transfers to only on certain x/y coordinates. Between those coordinates no
data transfers would be needed.
This patch implements the mechanism described above. During development other areas to
improve have been detected (incorrect color management for float textures, using different
image formats to reduce data transfer bandwidths, using different render techniques for
images upto 8k). More improvements will follow.
When image data exceeds half float ranges values are set to +/-
infinity that could lead to artifacts later on in the pipeline.
Color management for example.
This patch adds a utility function `IMB_gpu_clamp_half_float`
that clamps full float values to fit within the range of
half floats.
This fixes T98575 and T101601.
This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.

When resizing a viewport all engine instance data was cleared.
This wasn't the intended design and lead to performance regressions
in the image engine.
This patch makes sure that the instance data isn't cleared when
the viewport size changes. When using instance data, draw engines
are responsible to update the textures accordingly.
This could also reduce flickering/stalling when resizing the viewport
in eevee-next.
Fixes T95428.
