This commit removes the outline from instances generated from an object
when in edit mode. This takes the change in aa13c4b386 a bit further,
with the idea that instance outlines are more like regular outlines.
Because evaluated object data that doesn't match the original object
type is treated as an instance internally, this fixes the way evaluated
meshes for curves objects have an outline, for example.

There are two issues revealed in the bug report:
- the GPU subdivision does not support meshes with only loose geometry
- the loose geometry is not subdivided
For the first case, checks are added to ensure we still fill the
buffers with loose geometry even if no polygons are present.
For the second case, this adds
`BKE_subdiv_mesh_interpolate_position_on_edge` which encapsulates the
loose vertex interpolation mechanism previously found in
`subdiv_mesh_vertex_of_loose_edge`.
The subdivided loose geometry is stored in a new specific data structure
`DRWSubdivLooseGeom` so as to not pollute `MeshExtractLooseGeom`. These
structures store the corresponding coarse element data, which will be
used for filling GPU buffers appropriately.

A simple case of missing the tangent VBO. The tangents are computed from
the coarse mesh, and interpolated on the GPU for the final mesh. Code for
initializing the tangents, and the vertex format for the VBO was
factored out of the coarse extraction routine, to be shared with the
subdivision routine.
The image engine is depth aware when using tile drawing the depth is
only updated for the central image what lead to showing the background
on top of other areas.
Also makes sure that switching the tile drawing would lead to an update
of the texture slots.
Internally the update tiles are 256x256. Due to some miscalculations
tiles were not generated correctly if the dimension of the image wasn't
a multifold of 256.
Previously we used to cache a float image representation of the image in
rect_float. This adds some incorrect behavior as many areas only expect
one of these buffers to be used.
This patch stores float buffers inside the image engine. This is done per
instance. In the future we should consider making a global cache.
The check to see if newly requested attributes are not already in the
cache was not taking into account the possibility that we do not have
new requested attributes (`num_requests == 0`). In this case, if
`attr_used` already had attributes, but `attr_requested` is empty, we
would consider the cache as dirty, and needlessly rebuild the attribute
VBOs.
These features are complicated to support on GPU and hardly compatible
with subdivision in the first place. In the future, with T68891 and
T68893, subdivision and custom smooth shading will be separate workflows.
For now, and to better prepare for this future (although long term
plan), we should discourage workflows mixing subdivision and custom
smooth normals, and as such, this disables GPU subdivision when
autosmoothing or custom split normals are used.
This also adds a message in the modifier's UI to indicate that GPU
subdivision will be disabled if autosmooth or custom split normals are
used on the mesh.

Reuse the same vertex normals calculation as for the GPU code, by
weighing each vertex normals by the angle of the edges incident to the
vertex on the face.
Additionally, remove limit normals, as the CPU code does not use them
either, and would also cause different shading issues when limit surface
is used.
Fixes T95242: shade smooth artifacts with edge crease and limit surface
Fixes T94919: subdivision, different shading between CPU and GPU
Previously, objects and geometries were mapped between frames
using different hash tables in a way that is incompatible with
geometry instances. That is because the geometry mapping happened
without looking at the `persistent_id` of instances, which is not possible
anymore. Now, there is just one mapping that identifies the same
object at multiple points in time.
There are also two new caches for duplicated vbos and textures used for
motion blur. This data has to be duplicated, otherwise it would be freed
when another time step is evaluated. This caching existed before, but is
now a bit more explicit and works for geometry instances as well.

Althought the float buffers are only used as cache, current code paths
don't look at the flags to identify which kind of image it is. Actual
fix would be to check flags, but that wouldn't be something to add one
week before release.
This commit fixes it by removing the buffers after use in the image
engine.
Previous implementation had a copy of the image user, which doesn't
contain all the data to identify changes. This patch introduces a new
struct to store the data and can be extended with other data as well
(color spaces, alpha settings).
Not all coarse vertices were used to compute the center value (off by
one), and the interpolation for the current would always start at the
base corner for the base face instead of the base corner for the current
patch.
The issue has two causes: on one hand origin indices were not handled
properly, on the other hand the extraction type (Mesh, BMesh, or mapped)
was not detected correctly.
For the second case reuse the MeshRenderData creation from the coarse
code path so that we make the same decisions. Loose geometry extraction
had to be updated to properly handle the BMesh cases.
For the origin indices, in some cases (for edges and faces), the arrays
used by the subdivision code already have the origin indices baked into
them, so mapping them a second time through the origin index layer is
wrong, and could cause out of bounds accesses.
For vertices especially, we would use two arrays: one for mapping
subdivision vertices to coarse vertices, and another one to map coarse
vertices to subdivision loops used for the selection index buffer. The
second one is now removed (which saves a bit of memory) as it is did not
have the proper data setup for use with the origin indices and we can
easily compute it using the first array anyway.
Currently one a single texture slot is used to update the screen.
Current design is implemented to use multiple textures.
for now limit the number of texture slots to 1.
Due to the freeing and re-creation of textures performed when binding
offscreen viewports, VR viewport textures would be needlessly
re-created every drawing iteration, leading to a negative impact on VR
frame rate.
This was brought to light by 6738ecb64e, which introduced an
additional texture clear operation on initialization and was
prohibitively costly on some systems when performed every frame.
Now, the textures for VR viewports will not be always re-created
during offscreen binding, but only when necessary using a pre-drawing
step (`wm_xr_session_surface_offscreen_ensure()`).

The crash was happening when the mesh had loose edges.
Loose edges are not part of OpenSubdiv topology and hence should not be
communicated to the refiner. Pass ta boolean flag indicating whether an
edge is loose or not in the mesh foreach routines, which seems to be
the easiest way.
Caused by rBf75449b5f2b04b79, which was missing a null check when
attempting to extract a `CustomData` pointer from an mesh that might
be null if the object isn't a mesh object. The commit added null checks
elsewhere, so simply adding them here is a straightforward fix.
Fixes T95526, T95539
The check for existence of custom data layers did not take wrapper nature of
mesh into account.
Quickest and safest for 3.1 solution is to take care of branching of checks
in the draw manager.
Ideally both wrapper and mesh access will happen via the same public API
without branching in the "user" code. That is something outside of the fix
for the coming release though.

Byte images are converted to float. Due to an issue how VSE cache is
freeing its images we cannot store these float buffers what leads
to recalculating it for each change in the image editor.
This fix will reduce the slowdown to areas that have the root cause of
the memory leak, so the buffers can be reused between refreshes.
NOTE: The root cause should still be fixed.
Thanks for reporting Sybren!
When viewing backdrop on top of the node grid, the grid would be
rendered black when the mode wasn't set to RGBA. This fix fixes this by
reverting the previous fix of drawing the backdrop and implement a
different one that recomputes the UV coordinates on the screen edges.
This is a temp fix for a memory leak where the VSE isn't aware that a
float representation of the image could exist. The VSE somehow doens't
clears it (refcounter is still 1).
The work around is just to let the image engine clean up all the data it
created. Potential this would add more overhead when buffers are needed
more than once.
Since splitting the depth and the color shader in the image engine the
backdrop wasn't visible anymore. The reson is that the min max uv
coordinates were never working for the node editor backdrop that uses
its own coordinate space.
This partial fix will ignore the depth test when drawing the color part
of the backdrop. This will still have artifacts that are visible when
showing other options as RGBA.
Proper fix would be to calculate the the uv vbo in uv space and not in
image space.
Can also happen in other places when the overlay engine is active. Some
parts of the overlay engine uses builtin shaders, but disable the color
space conversion to the target texture.
Currently there the overlay engine has its own set of libraries it could
include and defined a macro to pass-throught the color space conversion.
The library include mechanism currently fails when it couldn't find the
builtin library in the libraries of the overlay engine. This only
happened in debug mode.
This change will not fail, but warns the developer if a library could
not be included. In the future this should be replaced by a different
mechanism that can disable the builtin library. See {T95382}.
Empty (UDIM) tiles where drawn with a transparency checkerboard. They
should be rendered with a border background. The cause is that the image
engine would select a single area that contained all tiles and draw them
as being part of an image.
The fix is to separate the color and depth part of the image engine
shader and only draw the depths of tiles that are enabled.
Parameter was used to still be compatible with the previous drawing mode.
The previous mode isn't available anymore so the parameter can should be
removed.
