The changes are:
- The shader now is passed as a parameter of the batch `draw` method (batch.draw(shader)). Since the batch always has to set a shader before drawing;
- The batch methods to specify a value to a uniform have been removed. Uniforms are parameters of the program (here called shader). If you change a uniform, it changes in all batchs that use the same program;
- New methods were added to set uniforms by the shader;
- The `batch.program_set_builtin` was removed. It is a duplicate of `program_set` but without a shader object. We need the shader object to configure the uniform;

Avoid accessing object mode via the view layer active object
when drawing since it's done everywhere we store the active object mode
in the draw-context.
The problem is that string width computing is performed in integers
(pixels), which can generate a rather annoying error (a few pixels)...
Simply work around that for now, by trimming an extra middle char when
needed.
`to_strlen` just benefits from using pre-computed kerning table for
ascii chars (gives about 30% speed improvements).
`to_rstrlen` was re-written and heavily simplified, basically using same
logic as `to_strlen`, and `BLI_str_find_prev_char_utf8()` to loop
backward in the string, instead of looping forwards the whole string,
storing each gliph's width in temp array, and looping backward on that
temp array to find final string matching expected width. Gives about 70%
speed improvements!
And both functions can now share their core logic.
This parameter allows to define the percentage of offset of a stroke when uses surface mode.
Before, this was a fixed value, but for some artists' purposes, it's good to have the option to change it.
Users can select the main unit they want to use now.
Previously the displayed unit always depended on the magnitude of the value.
The old behavior can be restored by switching to the "Adaptive" mode for length, mass and time units.
Meters, kilograms and seconds are the default units for new and old scenes.
The selected unit is also the default unit for user input.
E.g. if cm is selected, whenever the user inputs a unitless number into a field of type length, it will be interpreted as cm.
