This replaces the direct shader uniform layout declaration by a linear
search through a global buffer.
Each instance has an attribute offset inside the global buffer and an
attribute count.
This removes any padding and tighly pack all uniform attributes inside
a single buffer.
This would also remove the limit of 8 attribute but it is kept because of
compatibility with the old system that is still used by the old draw
manager.
This is a new implementation of the draw manager using modern
rendering practices and GPU driven culling.
This only ports features that are not considered deprecated or to be
removed.
The old DRW API is kept working along side this new one, and does not
interfeer with it. However this needed some more hacking inside the
draw_view_lib.glsl. At least the create info are well separated.
The reviewer might start by looking at `draw_pass_test.cc` to see the
API in usage.
Important files are `draw_pass.hh`, `draw_command.hh`,
`draw_command_shared.hh`.
In a nutshell (for a developper used to old DRW API):
- `DRWShadingGroups` are replaced by `Pass<T>::Sub`.
- Contrary to DRWShadingGroups, all commands recorded inside a pass or
sub-pass (even binds / push_constant / uniforms) will be executed in order.
- All memory is managed per object (except for Sub-Pass which are managed
by their parent pass) and not from draw manager pools. So passes "can"
potentially be recorded once and submitted multiple time (but this is
not really encouraged for now). The only implicit link is between resource
lifetime and `ResourceHandles`
- Sub passes can be any level deep.
- IMPORTANT: All state propagate from sub pass to subpass. There is no
state stack concept anymore. Ensure the correct render state is set before
drawing anything using `Pass::state_set()`.
- The drawcalls now needs a `ResourceHandle` instead of an `Object *`.
This is to remove any implicit dependency between `Pass` and `Manager`.
This was a huge problem in old implementation since the manager did not
know what to pull from the object. Now it is explicitly requested by the
engine.
- The pases need to be submitted to a `draw::Manager` instance which can
be retrieved using `DRW_manager_get()` (for now).
Internally:
- All object data are stored in contiguous storage buffers. Removing a lot
of complexity in the pass submission.
- Draw calls are sorted and visibility tested on GPU. Making more modern
culling and better instancing usage possible in the future.
- Unit Tests have been added for regression testing and avoid most API
breakage.
- `draw::View` now contains culling data for all objects in the scene
allowing caching for multiple views.
- Bounding box and sphere final setup is moved to GPU.
- Some global resources locations have been hardcoded to reduce complexity.
What is missing:
- ~~Workaround for lack of gl_BaseInstanceARB.~~ Done
- ~~Object Uniform Attributes.~~ Done (Not in this patch)
- Workaround for hardware supporting a maximum of 8 SSBO.

This was caused by un-wanted normalization. This is a requirement of
the MikkTspace. The issue is that g_data.N is expected to be normalized
by many other functions and overriden by bump displacement.
Adding a new global variable containing the interpolated normal fixes the
issue AND make it match cycles behavior better (mix between bump and
interpolated normal).
Workaround the issue by adding an intermediate function. This is usually
the case when working with attributes.

Several visual tweaks to node links to make them overall fit in
better with the look of the node editor:
- Change the link thickness with the zoom level to a certain degree.
- Remove the fuzziness of the node link and its shadow/outline.
- The link outline color can now be made transparent.
- Add circles at the end of dragged links when connecting to sockets.
- Improve the banding of the color interpolation along the link.
- Adjust the spacing of dashes along straight node links.

This patch moves material indices from the mesh `MPoly` struct to a
generic integer attribute. The builtin material index was already
exposed in geometry nodes, but this makes it a "proper" attribute
accessible with Python and visible in the "Attributes" panel.
The goals of the refactor are code simplification and memory and
performance improvements, mainly because the attribute doesn't have
to be stored and processed if there are no materials. However, until
4.0, material indices will still be read and written in the old
format, meaning there may be a temporary increase in memory usage.
Further notes:
* Completely removing the `MPoly.mat_nr` after 4.0 may require
changes to DNA or introducing a new `MPoly` type.
* Geometry nodes regression tests didn't look at material indices,
so the change reveals a bug in the realize instances node that I fixed.
* Access to material indices from the RNA `MeshPolygon` type is slower
with this patch. The `material_index` attribute can be used instead.
* Cycles is changed to read from the attribute instead.
* BMesh isn't changed in this patch. Theoretically it could be though,
to save 2 bytes per face when less than two materials are used.
* Eventually we could use a 16 bit integer attribute type instead.

Disabling for any workaround that disables shader_image_load_store_support

This patch is a response to T92588 and is implemented
as a Function/Shader node.
This node has support for Float, Vector and Color data types.
For Vector it supports uniform and non-uniform mixing.
For Color it now has the option to remove factor clamping.
It replaces the Mix RGB for Shader and Geometry node trees.
As discussed in T96219, this patch converts existing nodes
in .blend files. The old node is still available in the
Python API but hidden from the menus.

The calculation was revised to address two issues:

* Levels of detail in the interval [0,1) repeating the levels of detail in

The number of attribute domains isn't an attribute domain, so storing
ATTR_DOMAIN_NUM in a variable with an eAttrDomain type isn't correct.
In the cases it was used, the value wouldn't be accessed anyway.
The realtime compositor sometimes produces fuzzy results when the
interpolation is set to bilinear. This was due to the domain realization
shader, which incorrectly sampled the input image.
This patch fixes such fuzziness by introducing a 0.5 offset to evaluate
the sampler at the center of pixels. Additionally, it makes sure the
centring offset is an integer offset by taking its floor, retaining the
previous 0.5 offset even with the difference in size is odd.
There was a memory leak in the GPU code generator for the compositor
output. It was just due to a missing free in the GPU code generator
destructor, so this patch makes sure it is freed.
