Allow adding compilation batches to different priority queues.
Set priorities so static shaders are always compiled first,
then materials, and optimized materials last.

This PR adds builtin shaders for drawing points. Using `FLAT_COLOR`,
`SMOOTH_COLOR`, `UNIFORM_COLOR` can lead to undesired behavior
on Metal and Vulkan backends. To ensure future compatibility this PR
adds `POINT_FLAT_COLOR` and `POINT_UNIFORM_COLOR`.
The point size can be set using `gpu.state.point_size_set`.

Race condition between the main thread and worker thread. In this case
the worker thread was waiting for a device idle, but the main thread was
waiting on a specific timeline. As long as the timeline didn't pass the
device was locked.
Releaved the race condition to check on queue idle as the timeline event
isn't part of the queue.
On windows drivers could be reset and could lead to other crashes as handles
were not used anymore.

In this case a triangle shader was used to render points.
This change entails:
- Using point shaders in this case
- Add support for `GPU_point_size` to update the uniform of the point
shader.

The GPU implementation is a bit too complex
to implement for now.
As we are improving shader loading, having the
CPU timings is already helpful.
Note that `Map<size_t, int>` does not compile
on Clang.
This is exposing the `--profile-gpu` option on
all backends as the vulkan backend should follow
shortly.

This PR adds a clear on creation for draw region framebuffers, which
fixes issue https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/139443.
When using the "Lock Interface" option, redrawing is disabled until the
rendering process has finished. When the GPU driver does not initialize
framebuffer textures with zero, this means that visual corruption can
be perceived when resizing the main window while rendering.
This fix makes sure that framebuffer textures are initialized with zero
on all GPU platforms.

Implementation of #127106.
This is just a visual representation of the field/single/grid
status of sockets to make the workflow more intuitive. With
a visual representation for volume grid sockets, volume features
should be unblocked for further development. The structure type
will also be used to distinguish list sockets in the interface.
Group input nodes now have a "Structure Type" option instead of
the existing "Single Value Only". Usually the auto option should be
enough, but in some cases where the inferencing cannot (yet) make
a clear determination, it can be helpful to choose a specific type.
The new visualization and the group input structure type option
are hidden behind a new experimental option for now.

During rendering when main thread is blocked or all screens are minimized the
garbage collection will not happen resulting in crashes as resources are not freed.
A better solution would be to do garbage collection in a separate thread but that requires a
ref counting system. The specifics of such a system is still unclear.
A possible solution for a Vulkan specific ref counting is to store the ref counts in the
resource tracker. That would only handle images and buffers, but it would solve the most
resource hungry issues.

On selected platforms there were some validation errors. It was caused by
platforms that returned a different number of swapchain images then were
requested. In that case the semaphores can get out of sync.
Current mechanism isn't future proof as the max number of images are
statically defined.
For this change the present semaphores is also separated from the frames
to better support out of order swapchain images.

GHOST backend didn't use logging. This PR adds an initial ghost.vulkan
logging and improves the reporting of logging in vulkan.
logging can be enabled by `blender --log "gpu.vulkan,ghost.vulkan" --log-level 2`
it shows the optional extensions that are enabled and information about swap chain
events.

Unlike OpenGL and Metal, this handle is not shared, but rather Cycles
has to take ownership of it. This required a fair amount of refactoring
to ensure the handle is closed, ownership is properly transferred, and
the handle is recreated once when the pixel buffer is modified.
This patch adds a new Image Coordinates node for the compositor. The
Texture Coordinates and Pixel Coordinates outputs were removed from the
Image Info node and were added to the new node instead. Additionally, a
new Normalized Coordinates output was added.
The Pixel Coordinates output now no longer includes half pixel offsets.

Usage of conditional to fix threading and performance delays when
waiting for the submission fence to become valid. The previous
(faulty) implementation didn't work well on WoA devices.
Qualcomm devices don't support external memory, but there an external
memory pool was still being constructed. This PR skips the creation and
asserts when using external memory on those devices.

Cleanup and simplification of GPUMaterial and GPUPass compilation.
See #133674 for details/goals.
- Remove the `draw_manage_shader` thread.
Deferred compilation is now handled by the gpu::ShaderCompiler
through the batch compilation API.
Batch management is handled by the `GPUPassCache`.
- Simplify `GPUMaterial` status tracking so it just queries the
`GPUPass` status.
- Split the `GPUPass` and the `GPUCodegen` code.
- Replaced the (broken) `GPU_material_recalc_flag_get` with the new
`GPU_pass_compilation_timestamp`.
- Add the `GPU_pass_cache_wait_for_all` and
`GPU_shader_batch_wait_for_all`, and remove the busy waits from
EEVEE.
- Remove many unused functions, properties, includes...

The stencil value was also considered and could lead to out of range
depth values. These were ignored by operators and could lead to
printing errors, canceling operators, or inaccurate depth
selection.
This is a NVIDIA only issue as these GPU support DEPTH24S8 textures.
We should consider defaulting to DEPTH32FS8.

Add back the deprecated format to avoid asserts.
GPU backends should still have the code to support them.
Also add deprecation warnings as these types will be
removed for 5.0.

It can happen that the previous context drew with a different
colorspace. In the case where the new context is drawing with
the same shader that was previously bound (shader binding
optimization), the uniform would not be set again because the
dirty flag would not have been set (since the color space of
this new context never changed). The shader would reuse the same
colorspace as the previous context framebuffer (see #137855).

This was caused by the removal of some compatibility code
in the metal backend.
This patch reintroduce this compatibility code in a cleaner
way than before.
This should be followed up by a documentation commit that
explains what is supported and what is not.

This caused UB in the tests now that tests are all ran
inside the same context.
A shader could be free but its pointer would be dangling
inside the `Context`. A new shader could have the same
address and generate UB after binding.
This is not the best way to solve this issue but at least
we prevent the use of the UB.

This allows multiple threads to request different specializations without
locking usage of all specialized shaders program when a new specialization
is being compiled.
The specialization constants are bundled in a structure that is being
passed to the `Shader::bind()` method. The structure is owned by the
calling thread and only used by the `Shader::bind()`.
Only querying for the specialized shader (Map lookup) is locking the shader
usage.
The variant compilation is now also locking and ensured that
multiple thread trying to compile the same variant will never result
in race condition.
Note that this removes the `is_dirty` optimization. This can be added
back if this becomes a bottleneck in the future. Otherwise, the
performance impact is not noticeable.

This feature greatly increase depth buffer precision.
This is very noticeable in large view distance scenes.
This is enabled by default on GPUs that supports it (most of the hardware we
support already supports this). This makes rendering different on the GPUs
that do not support that feature (`glClipControl`).
While this give much better depth precision as before, we also have a lot of
imprecision caused by our vertex transformations. This can be improved in
another task.

Importing memory is done to often. when memory doens't change the
previous imported memory can be used.
The idea is to keep track of the last used buffer and keep reusing
it until the view/resolution has changed. This should not happen during
a session.

This adds support for the extension and always
set the clip state value to 0..1 to align with vulkan
and metal. Moreover this is needed for the Reverse Z
implementation.
Note that this is a OpenGL 4.5 feature and is not
required to start Blender. So there must still be
a fallback path for now.
