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.

For the Metal shader translation support for shader-global uniforms are remapped via macro's, and in such cases where a uniform name matches a vertex attribute name, compilation errors will occur due to this injected syntax being incompatible with the immediate code.
Also adding source-level function interface alternatives where sized arrays are passed in. These are not supported directly in Metal shading language and are instead handled as pointers. These pointers require explicit address-space qualifiers in some cases, if device/constant address space memory is passed into the function.

This cleans up the OpenGL build flags and linking.
It additionally also removes some dead code.
One of these dead code paths is WITH_X11_ALPHA which actually never was
active even with the build flag on. The call to use this was never
called because the default initializer for GHOST was set to have it off
per default. Nothing called this function with a boolean value to enable it.
These cleanups are needed to support true headless OpenGL rendering.
Without these cleanups libepoxy will fail to load the correct OpenGL
Libraries as we have already linked them to the blender binary.

With libepoxy we can choose between EGL and GLX at runtime, as well as
dynamically open EGL and GLX libraries without linking to them.
This will make it possible to build with Wayland, EGL, GLVND support while
still running on systems that only have X11, GLX and libGL. It also paves
the way for headless rendering through EGL.
libepoxy is a new library dependency, and is included in the precompiled
libraries. GLEW is no longer a dependency, and WITH_SYSTEM_GLEW was removed.

* Don't assume the display colorspace name fully defines the transform
to display space, this is not true in OpenColorIO 2 where view transforms
may be defined in more complexs ways than just specifying a colorspace.
* In places where we need to store the display colorspace name, resolve
<USE_DISPLAY_NAME> token manually.
Ref T96590
This enables the configuration to specify aliases for compatibility with other
configurations.
When a colorspace name is saved in a.blend, that is the alias of a colorspace
in the current configuration, it will show the main colorspace from the
configuration in the user interface and Python API instead.
Loading & saving the .blend file does not make any changes to the stored name,
so as to not make hidden modifications. Only when setting the property again
will the alias name be overwritten by the main colorspace name.

When using GradingPrimaryTransform the generated GLSL code fails to compile. The actual issue is
inside OCIO (https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenColorIO/issues/1603).
The reason is that unset clamping values are rendered out as `inf`, which isn't recognizable
by GLSL.
The issue is worked around by defining a default for `inf`.

This commit should suffice to make the shader API agnostic now (given that
all users of it use the GPU API).
This makes the shaders not trigger a false positive error anymore since
the binding slots are now garanteed by the backend and not changed at
after compilation.
This also bundles all uniforms into UBOs. Making them extendable without
limitations of push constants. The generated uniforms from OCIO are not
densely packed in the UBO to avoid complexity. Another approach would be to
use GPU_uniformbuf_create_from_list but this requires converting uniforms
to GPUInputs which is too complex for what it is.

Using the `MEM_*` API from C++ code was a bit annoying:
* When converting C to C++ code, one often has to add a type cast on
returned `void *`. That leads to having the same type name three times
in the same line. This patch reduces the amount to two and removes the
`sizeof(...)` from the line.
* The existing alternative of using `OBJECT_GUARDED_NEW` looks a out
of place compared to other allocation methods. Sometimes
`MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` can be used when structs are defined
in C++ code. It doesn't look great but it's definitely better. The downside
is that it makes the name of the allocation less useful. That's because
the same name is used for all allocations of a type, independend of
where it is allocated.
This patch introduces three new functions: `MEM_new`, `MEM_cnew` and
`MEM_delete`. These cover the majority of use cases (array allocation is
not covered).
The `OBJECT_GUARDED_*` macros are removed because they are not
needed anymore.

In certain CMake configurations it was possible
that OCIO gave linker errors due to it thinking
it was using the shared library rather than the
static library we ship.
Compilation fails when our OCIO wrapper creates a shader that
transfer first to scene ref and directly after that to display.
This cause is that the GPU resources of both transfers had the same
name. This is fixed by prefixing the resources.
This can be reproduced by loading a movie file (mkv) in the VSE editor.
Reported by Sergey Sharybin.
The Blender/Cycles XYZ color space has a D65 white point instead of E, and
this was not correctly accounted for both in the OpenColor config reading code
and the bundled config.
This meant that since the OpenColorIO v2 upgrade, the Linear ACES color space
was not working correctly, and other OpenColorIO configs defining
aces_interchange were not interpreted correctly.

Build System
============
This is an API breaking new version, and the updated code only builds with
OpenColorIO 2.0 and later. Adding backwards compatibility was too complicated.
* Tinyxml was replaced with Expat, adding a new dependency.
* Yaml-cpp is now built as a dependency on Unix, as was already done on Windows.
* Removed currently unused LCMS code.
* Pystring remains built as part of OCIO itself, since it has no good build system.
* Linux and macOS check for the OpenColorIO verison, and disable it if too old.
Ref D10270
Processors and Transforms
=========================
CPU processors now need to be created to do CPU processing. These are cached
internally, but the cache lookup is not fast enough to execute per pixel or
texture sample, so for performance these are now also exposed in the C API.
The C API for transforms will no longer be needed afer all changes, so remove
it to simplify the API and fallback implementation.
Ref D10271
Display Transforms
==================
Needs a bit more manual work constructing the transform. LegacyViewingPipeline
could also have been used, but isn't really any simpler and since it's legacy
we better not rely on it.
We moved more logic into the opencolorio module, to simplify the API. There is
no need to wrap a dozen functions just to be able to do this in C rather than C++.
It's also tightly coupled to the GPU shader logic, and so should be in the same
module.
Ref D10271
GPU Display Shader
==================
To avoid baking exposure and gamma into the GLSL shader and requiring slow
recompiles when tweaking, we manually apply them in the shader. This leads
to some logic duplicaton between the CPU and GPU display processor, but it
seems unavoidable.
Caching was also changed. Previously this was done both on the imbuf and
opencolorio module levels. Now it's all done in the opencolorio module by
simply matching color space names. We no longer use cacheIDs from OpenColorIO
since computing them is expensive, and they are unlikely to match now that
more is baked into the shader code.
Shaders can now use multiple 2D textures, 3D textures and uniforms, rather
than a single 3D texture. So allocating and binding those adds some code.
Color space conversions for blending with overlays is now hardcoded in the
shader. This was using harcoded numbers anyway, if this every becomes a
general OpenColorIO transform it can be changed, but for now there is no
point to add code complexity.
Ref D10273
CIE XYZ
=======
We need standard CIE XYZ values for rendering effects like blackbody emission.
The relation to the scene linear role is based on OpenColorIO configuration.
In OpenColorIO 2.0 configs roles can no longer have the same name as color
spaces, which means our XYZ role and colorspace in the configuration give an
error.
Instead use the new standard aces_interchange role, which relates scene linear
to a known scene referred color space. Compatibility with the old XYZ role is
preserved, if the configuration file has no conflicting names.
Also includes a non-functional change to the configuraton file to use an
XYZ-to-ACES matrix instead of REC709-to-ACES, makes debugging a little easier
since the matrix is the same one we have in the code now and that is also
found easily in the ACES specs.

- Remove unused err_out argument: only used for offscreen python.
- Add mipmap count to creation functions for future changes.
