The `object_to_world` and `world_to_object` matrices are set during
depsgraph evaluation, calculated from the object's animated location,
rotation, scale, parenting, and constraints. It's confusing and
unnecessary to store them with the original data in DNA.
This commit moves them to `ObjectRuntime` and moves the matrices to
use the C++ `float4x4` type, giving the potential for simplified code
using the C++ abstractions. The matrices are accessible with functions
on `Object` directly since they are used so commonly. Though for write
access, directly using the runtime struct is necessary.
The inverse `world_to_object` matrix is often calculated before it's
used, even though it's calculated as part of depsgraph evaluation.
Long term we might not want to store this in `ObjectRuntime` at all,
and just calculate it on demand. Or at least we should remove the
redundant calculations. That should be done separately though.

Overall the transition to C++ in the draw module is awkwardly half
complete, but moving more code to a C++ namespace makes cleaning up
this code in other ways much easier, and the next C++ cleanup steps
are clear anyway.
Move object runtime data to a separate header and allocate it separately
as `blender::bke::ObjectRuntime`. This is how node, mesh, curves, and
point cloud runtime data is stored.
Benefits:
- Allow using C++ types in object runtime data
- Reduce space required for Object struct in files
- Increase conceptual separation between DNA and runtime data
- Remove the need to add manual padding in runtime data
- Include runtime struct definition only in files that require it

OpenGL uses a depth range between -1 and 1, which is then normalized.
Metal & Vulkan uses a depth range between 0 and 1, which is already normalized.
The final plan would be to default to a depth range between 0 and 1, but
for now the depth ranges are retargetted so they won't be clipped away.
This solves the next issues for users:
- Navigate control will be rendered correctly
- Ortographic view clipping artifacts
- EEVEE light evaluation
Retargetting happens at the end of the vertex stage or when a geometry
stage is present at the end of the geometry stage. Derivatives using
depth would have a different value compared to OpenGL, but would match
Metal backend. OpenGL performs clipping and generates derivatives based
on the original depth value.
`gl_FragCoord` and clipping would have some precision differences as clipping
and normalizing are done in a different order but would match Metal.
Geometry shaders should use `gpu_EmitVertex` to ensure that the retargetting
is done per vertex.

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.

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.
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:

This allows adding spans, arrays, etc. directly to SculptSession, which
simplifies accessing mesh data, especially in #105938. A few files
aren't moved to C++ yes, so I had to add three C accessor functions.
`PBVH_Leaf` nodes are now split into a new `PBVH_TexLeaf`
node type when using the paint brush. These nodes are
split by image pixels, not triangles. This greatly
increases performance when working with large
textures on low-poly meshes.

* External engines do not use the PBVH and need slower depsgraph updates.
* Final depsgraph tag after stroke finishes was missing for sculpt color
painting, caused missing updates for other viewports as well as any
modifiers or nodes on other objects using the colors.
Rewrite PBVH draw to allocate attributes into individual VBOs.
The old system tried to create a single VBO that could feed
every open viewport. This required uploading every color and
UV attribute to the viewport whether needed or not, often exceeding
the VBO limit.
This new system creates one VBO per attribute. Each attribute layout is
given its own GPU batch which is cached inside the owning PBVH node.
Notes:
* This is a full C++ rewrite. The old code is still there; ripping it out
can happen later.
* PBVH nodes now have a collection of batches, PBVHBatches, that keeps
track of all the batches inside the node.
* Batches are built exclusively from a list of attributes.
* Each attribute has its own VBO.
* Overlays, workbench and EEVEE can all have different attribute
layouts, each of which will get its own batch.

In the original design draw engines had to copy with a limitation that
they were not allowed to reuse complex data structures between drawing
calls. Data that could be reused were limited to:
- GPUFramebuffers
- GPUTextures
- Memory that could be removed calling MEM_freeN (storage list)
- DRWPass
This is fine when the storage list contains arrays or structs but when
more complex data types (vectors, maps) etc wasn't possible.
This patch adds instance_data that can be reused between drawing calls.
The instance_data is controlled by the draw engine and doesn't need to
be limited as described above.
When an engines stores instance_data it must implement the
`DrawEngineType.instance_free` callback to free the data.
The patch originates from eevee rewrite. But was added to master as the
image engine rewrite also has a need for it.

This patch adds support for selecting pointclouds.
Since pointclouds were not properly drawn to the selection buffer (as diagonsed by output from `glReadPixels` and Renderdoc), they were not able to be selectable by depth picking or occlusion queries. In `basic_engine`, objects were rendered with a shader which draws to a depth buffer but only assumes a single position vertex attribute. Pointclouds, though, require at least another vertex attribute `pos_inst` which provides the instance offsets. Thus, this patch adds another shader variant for pointclouds which supports these two attributes and renders the points appropriately.
