This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`
rule. This should be the final commit of the series of commits that
addresses this particular rule.
No functional changes.
There should be no user visible change from this, except that tile size
now affects performance. The goal here is to simplify bake denoising in
D3099, letting it reuse more denoising tiles and pass code.
A lot of code is now shared with regular rendering, with the two main
differences being that we read some render result passes from the bake API
when starting to render a tile, and call the bake kernel instead of the
path trace kernel.
With this kind of design where Cycles asks for tiles from the bake API,
it should eventually be easier to reduce memory usage, show tiles as
they are baked, or bake multiple passes at once, though there's still
quite some work needed for that.

Note this only changes cases where the variable was declared inside
the for loop. To handle it outside as well is a different challenge.

RE_engine_register_pass is sometimes in the headers with type
as an integer parameter, sometimes as eNodeSocketDatatype.
This caused warnings, the root cause was makesrna was not able
to generate the proper type for enums and defaulted to int.
makesrna has been extended with the RNA_def_property_enum_native_type
that allows telling makesrna the native type of an enum, if set it
will be used otherwise it will still fall back to int.

This patch adds new render passes to EEVEE. These passes include:
* Emission
* Diffuse Light
* Diffuse Color
* Glossy Light
* Glossy Color
* Environment
* Volume Scattering
* Volume Transmission
* Bloom
* Shadow
With these passes it will be possible to use EEVEE effectively for
compositing. During development we kept a close eye on how to get similar
results compared to cycles render passes there are some differences that
are related to how EEVEE works. For EEVEE we combined the passes to
`Diffuse` and `Specular`. There are no transmittance or sss passes anymore.
Cycles will be changed accordingly.
Cycles volume transmittance is added to multiple surface col passes. For
EEVEE we left the volume transmittance as a separate pass.
Known Limitations
* All materials that use alpha blending will not be rendered in the render
passes. Other transparency modes are supported.
* More GPU memory is required to store the render passes. When rendering
a HD image with all render passes enabled at max extra 570MB GPU memory is
required.
Implementation Details
An overview of render passes have been described in
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Render/EEVEE/RenderPasses
Future Developments
* In this implementation the materials are re-rendered for Diffuse/Glossy
and Emission passes. We could use multi target rendering to improve the
render speed.
* Other passes can be added later
* Don't render material based passes when only requesting AO or Shadow.
* Add more passes to the system. These could include Cryptomatte, AOV's, Vector,
ObjectID, MaterialID, UV.

This allows for more flexibility in Compositing compared to the
hardcoded alpha-over that is currently used.

In a minimal render engine blender crashes as it cannot create a preview
of the material yet. This patch adds a failsafe test for this specific
scenario.

Previously, render parts were stored in a linked list and every tile update
searched the entire list for the correct part. As a result, the overhead
of searching tiles increased quadratically w.r.t. the number of tiles.
By hashing the parts based on their location, this operation is much faster,
significantly reducing the tile update overhead for small tiles and/or large
renders.
For example, rendering an empty scene in 1080p at 1spp and 8x8 tiles goes
down from 9.22sec to 1.45sec on my laptop.

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

The problem here was that when a render result is allocated, the standard render passes are added according to the
pass bitfield. Then, when the render engine sets the result, it adds the additional passes which are then merged
into the main render result.
However, when using Save Buffers, the EXR is created before the actual render starts, so it's missing all those
additional passes.
To fix that, we need to query the render engine for a list of additional passes so they can be added before the EXR
is created. Luckily, there already is a function to do that for the node editor.
The same needs to be done when the EXR is loaded back.
Due to how that is implemented though (Render API calls into engine, engine calls back for each pass), if we have
multiple places that call this function there needs to be a way to tell which one the call came from in the pass
registration callback. Therefore, the original caller now provides a callback that is called for each pass.
That kind of implicit includes should really only be done when totally,
absolutely necessary, and ideally only with rather simple 'second-level'
headers.
Otherwise not being explicit with includes always end up biting in
unexpected ways...
