This change fixes:
- Constant folder uses rect of size INT_MIN .. INT_MAX, which overflows integer
when calculating size.
- Calculation of an offset inside of input can lead to integer overflow for big
resolutions.
- texture_bilinear_extend() and texture_nearest_extend() do not seem to handle
single element buffers correctly.
- Kuwahara has division of zero when the input size is 0.

This patch also fixes a crash when image input of `Stabilize2DNode` is unconnected and interpolation is set to bicubic.
Differences to GPU compositor:
- ~1px difference is observed due to different rounding of domain size vs. canvas size. This difference is constant for all image sizes.
- If image input is unconnected but other inputs are, CPU compositor doesn't consider the operation to be constant, whereas GPU compositor still outputs a constant result.

This patch adds support for timing GPU compositor executions. This was
previously not possible since there was no mechanism to measure GPU
calls, which is still the case. However, since 2cf8b5c4e1, we now flush
GPU calls immediately for interactive editing, so we can now measure the
GPU evaluation on the host, which is not a very accurate method, but it
is better than having no timing information. Therefore, timing is only
implemented for interactive editing.
This is different from the CPU implementation in that it measures the
total evaluation time, including any preprocessing of the inputs like
implicit type conversion as well as things like previews.
The profiling implementation was moved to the realtime compositor since
the compositor module is optional.

The issue originates to the change in default view transform from Filmic
to AgX, which does slightly different clipping, and clips color to black
if there is any negative values.
This change implements an idea of skipping view transform for viewer
node when it is connected to the Pick output of the cryptomatte node.
It actually goes a bit deeper than this and any operation can tag its
result as a non-color data, and the viewer node will respect that.
It is achieved by passing some extra meta-data along the evaluation
pipeline. For the CPU compositor it is done via MetaData, and for the
GPU compositor it is done as part of Result.
Connecting any other node in-between of viewer and Cryptomatte's Pick
will treat the result as color values, and apply color management.
Connecting Pick to the Composite output will also consider it as color,
since there is no concept of non-color-managed render result.
An alternative approaches were tested, including:
- Doing negative value clamping at the viewer node.
It does not work for legacy cryptomatte node, as it needs to have
access to original non-modified Pick result.
- Change the order of components, and store ID in another channel.
Using one of other of Green or Blue channels might work for some view
transforms, but it does not work for AgX.
Using Alpha channel seemingly works better, but it is has different
issues caused by the fact that display transform de-associates alpha,
leading to over-exposed regions which are hard to see in the file from
the report. And might lead to the similar issues as the initial report
with other objects or view transforms.
- Use positive values in the Pick channel.
It does make things visible, but they are all white due to the nature
of how AgX works, making it not so useful as a result.

Effectively, make GPU compositor available without need to enable
an experimental feature set.
The compositor device is now exposed in the Performance panel of
Render Buttons. It is also still available in the compositor's
N-panel, together with some other options which are more about how
editing works, and not exactly related to render performance.

Move all header file into namespace.
Unnecessary namespaces was removed from implementations file.
Part of forward declarations in header was moved in the top part
of file just to do not have a lot of separate namespaces.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/121637
This allows to expose these settings in the Performance panel in the
render buttons. Also moves compositor-specific options away from the
generic node tree structure.
For the backwards-compatibility the options are still present in the
DNA for the bNodeTree. This is to minimize the impact on the Studio
which has used the GPU compositor for a while now. They can be
removed in a future release.
There is no functional changes expected.

It was meant to be included into the previous commit in the area,
but was forgotten due to some technicalities.

There are few issues with the logic and implementation of this option:
- While the first pass is faster in the terms of a wall-clock time, it
is often not giving usable results to artists, as the final look of
the result is so much different from what it is expected to be.
- It is not supported by the GPU compositor.
- It is based on some static rules based on the node type, rather than
on the apparent computational complexity.
The performance settings are planned to be moved to the RenderData, and
it is unideal to carry on such limited functionality to more places. There
are better approaches to quickly provide approximated results, which we can
look into later.

Blender crashes when the user scales up an image into huge scales. This
is due to integer overflow when doing memory allocations. So we fix this
by using larger integers when doing math on memory allocations and
indexing.
Note that while this solves the random crashes, users scaling up images
to huge scales will face things like the OOM killer activating or at
best significant slow downs due to swapping.
It is not clear how to handle such cases, but something like a global
maximum size option that is set to 16k by default might be worth adding.

This patch replaces the is_set_operation flag with the
is_constant_operation flag to allow input constants to propagate
through the node tree using the constant folder.
The compositor execute functions have a `rendering` argument to specify
if the compositor is executing as part of the render pipeline. But the
render context argument is null if we are not rendering, so the
`rendering` arguement is redundant and can be removed.
Additionally, we no longer use use_file_output as a hack to detect
rendering.

This patch adds a utility function for nearest interpolation with
clamped boundaries and normalized coordinates to the MemoryBuffer class.
Similar to the GLSL texture() function.
Blender crashes when using the compositor debugger. That's because it
assumes the names of the operation classes will be demangled and will
proceed to slice them causing crashes. The standard makes no guarantees
about the form of the returned type_info::name, and it is implementation
defined.
While it is possible to demangle those names and return something that
is more human readable, it doesn't seem worth it as this is only used by
developers who should have no problem identifying mangled names. So we
just display the name as is.

This patch unifies the anti-aliasing of plane deforms between the CPU
and GPU compositors. The CPU used a multi-sample approach, where the
mask was computed 8 times with a jitter, then averaged to get smooth
edges. The GPU relied on the anisotropic filtering with zero boundaries
to smooth the edges.
Furthermore, the CPU implementation ignored the anti-aliasing for the
deformed image and also relied anisotropic filtering like the GPU, so
its outputs were different.
To unify both implementation, we use the existing SMAA anti-aliasing
algorithm instead, and use the anti-aliased mask for the image output as
well. This affects both the Corner Pin and Plane Deform nodes.
A consequence of this change for the Plane Deform node is that motion
blur will appear to have less samples, that's because it was sampled
8-times more in the previous implementation. But users can just increase
the samples in the node to account for that.

New ("fullframe") CPU compositor backend is being used now, and all the code
related to "tiled" CPU compositor is just never used anymore. The new backend
is faster, uses less memory, better matches GPU compositor, etc.
TL;DR: 20 thousand lines of code gone.
This commit:
- Removes various bits and pieces related to "tiled" compositor (execution
groups, one-pixel-at-a-time node processing, read/write buffer operations
related to node execution groups).
- "GPU" (OpenCL) execution device, that was only used by several nodes of
the tiled compositor.
- With that, remove CLEW external library too, since nothing within Blender
uses OpenCL directly anymore.

Span is preferrable since it's agnostic of the source container,
makes it clearer that there is no ownership, is 8 bytes smaller,
and can be passed by value.
The tiled compositor code is mainly still around, which is only
expected to be a short-lived period. Eventually it will also be
removed.
The OpenCL, Group Buffers, and Chunk size options are already removed.

Visually it is the same as the execution time implemented for the
geometry nodes, and it is to be enabled in the overlay popover.
The implementation is separate from the geometry nodes, as it is
not easy or practical to re-use the geometry nodes implementation.
The execution time is stored in a run-time hash, indexed by a node
instance key. This is similar to the storage of the mode preview
images, but is stored on the scene runtime data and not on the node
tree. Indexing the storage by key allows to easily copy execution
statistics from localized tree to its original version.
The time is only implemented for full-frame compositor, as for the
tiled compositor it could be tricky to calculate reliable time for
pixel processing nodes which process one pixel at a time.

This patch unifies the implementation of the Bilateral Blur node across
CPU and GPU. The difference is due to two things. First, the CPU code
had a bug where the upper limit of the blur window was not included in
the accumulation. Second, CPU ignored pixels outside of the image while
GPU clamped them to the nearest boundary pixel. The latter difference
was aligned with GPU until we eventually add an option to control
boundary handing.
A few utilities were added to the node operation and memory buffer
classes to do clamped pixel reading.

Part of overall "improve image filtering situation" (#116980), this PR addresses
two issues:
- Bilinear (default) image filtering makes half a source pixel wide transparent
border around the image. This is very noticeable when scaling images/movies up
in VSE. However, when there is no scaling up but you have slightly rotated
image, this creates a "somewhat nice" anti-aliasing around the edge.
- The other filtering kinds (e.g. cubic) do not have this behavior. So they do
not create unexpected transparency when scaling up (yay), however for slightly
rotated images the edge is "jagged" (oh no).
More detail and images in PR.

There exist a bunch of "give me a (filtered) image pixel at this location"
functions, some with duplicated functionality, some with almost the same but
not quite, some that look similar but behave slightly differently, etc.
Some of them were in BLI, some were in ImBuf.
This commit tries to improve the situation by:
* Adding low level interpolation functions to `BLI_math_interp.hh`
- With documentation on their behavior,
- And with more unit tests.
* At `ImBuf` level, there are only convenience inline wrappers to the above BLI
functions (split off into a separate header `IMB_interp.hh`). However, since
these wrappers are inline, some things get a tiny bit faster as a side
effect. E.g. VSE image strip, scaling to 4K resolution (Windows/Ryzen5950X):
- Nearest filter: 2.33 -> 1.94ms
- Bilinear filter: 5.83 -> 5.69ms
- Subsampled3x3 filter: 28.6 -> 22.4ms
Details on the functions:
- All of them have `_byte` and `_fl` suffixes.
- They exist in 4-channel byte (uchar4) and float (float4), as well as
explicitly passed amount of channels for other float images.
- New functions in BLI `blender::math` namespace:
- `interpolate_nearest`
- `interpolate_bilinear`
- `interpolate_bilinear_wrap`. Note that unlike previous "wrap" function,
this one no longer requires the caller to do their own wrapping.
- `interpolate_cubic_bspline`. Previous similar function was called just
"bicubic" which could mean many different things.
- Same functions exist in `IMB_interp.hh`, they are just convenience that takes
ImBuf and uses data pointer, width, height from that.
Other bits:
- Renamed `mod_f_positive` to `floored_fmod` (better matches `safe_floored_modf`
and `floored_modulo` that exist elsewhere), made it branchless and added more
unit tests.
- `interpolate_bilinear_wrap_fl` no longer clamps result to 0..1 range. Instead,
moved the clamp to be outside of the call in `paint_image_proj.cc` and
`paint_utils.cc`. Though the need for clamping in there is also questionable.

The term `PIL` stands for "platform independent library." It exists since the `Initial Revision`
commit from 2002. Nowadays, we generally just use the `BLI` (blenlib) prefix for such code
and the `PIL` prefix feels more confusing then useful. Therefore, this patch renames the
`PIL` to `BLI`.

Part of overall "improve filtering situation" (#116980) task:
* Add Bicubic filtering option to strip Transform "Filter" setting.
Previously this option only existed in Transform Effect "Interpolation"
setting.
- With this addition, it feels like the transform effect could
possibly be marked as legacy/deprecated, since the regular Transform
that is on all strips can do everything that Transform Effect did?
* Speed up bicubic filtering (used now in VSE, but also in CPU Compositor,
image paint, etc.) by slightly simplifying the code and using some SIMD.
Upscaling 96x54 image to 3840x2160 resolution, using Bicubic filtering:
- Windows (VS2022, Ryzen 5950X): 35.5ms -> 15.1ms
- Mac (clang 15, M1 Max): 29.6ms -> 24.4ms
* Add gtest coverage for bicubic functionality.

The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
