This allows to reduce the number of includes for each
tree graph (surface, volume, displacement) and
reduce the code size significantly for most vertex
shaders, speeding up compile time.

Dependencies were previously merged manually
inside the generated_sources by EEVEE.
This caused issues with double includes.
Instead, we now only gather the name of the
nodetree dependencies and add them to the
dependencies of the `GeneratedSource`.
This also make the compositor use the `GeneratedSource`
mechanism.

Implementation of the design task #142969.
This adds the following:
- Exact GPU interpolation of curves of all types.
- Radius attribute support.
- Cyclic curve support.
- Resolution attribute support.
- New Cylinder hair shape type.
What changed:
- EEVEE doesn't compute random normals for strand hairs anymore. These are considered legacy now.
- EEVEE now have an internal shadow bias to avoid self shadowing on hair.
- Workbench Curves Strip display option is no longer flat and has better shading.
- Legacy Hair particle system evaluates radius at control points before applying additional subdivision. This now matches Cycles.
- Color Attribute Node without a name do not fetch the active color attribute anymore. This now matches Cycles.
Notes:
- This is not 100% matching the CPU implementation for interpolation (see the epsilons in the tests).
- Legacy Hair Particle points is now stored in local space after interpolation.
The new cylinder shape allows for more correct hair shading in workbench and better intersection in EEVEE.

With 5.0 we start requiring this extension for GL and VK.
All of our target hardware supports it with up to date
drivers.
Some old drivers were disabling this extension because of
buggy behavior. We simply drop support for them in 5.0.
This allows us to remove a lot of code and the last
shader create info override done at startup. This will
unlock more refactoring of the shader create info into
static classes to reduce binary size and other benefits.
## TODO:
- [x] Remove checks for ARB_shader_draw_parameters
- [x] Remove checks for ARB_clip_control
- [x] Check for the extension on startup for OpenGL
- [x] Check for the extension on startup for Vulkan
- [x] ~~Add user facing popup message about minimum
requirements not being met.~~ Done using the same
popup as old hardware.

This allows to generate source file that will
be injected in a predefined source dependance tree.
This allow much cleaner shader workflow where
all sources are explicitly referenced from the
main source file.

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...

This was caused by `drw_ResourceID` taking one vertex input
(at slot 15) which was then also used by material shaders.
Starting material shaders at 14 in this case avoid the overlap.
Note that this reduces the amount of supported attribute when
using the workarounds by one.
We can have deferred and non-deferred shaders (so, different threads)
with the same `additonal_info` dependencies trying to finalize the same
`ShaderCreateInfo`.
This ensures `finalize` always runs from the main thread to avoid race
conditions.

The encoded material names used by cryptomatte were incorrect. Reason
was that it used the name including the object type.
NOTE: reference images needs to be updated

Blender crashes when adding any Color compositor node when both the
viewport and the interactive compositors are active at the same time.
This is caused by a threading issue where both threads try to compile
the same GPU material at the same time.
To fix this, we protects GPU material pass compilation using a mutex.

Request one separate compilation batch for each GPUPass so users can
get a better sense of the compilation progress, and to better distribute
texture loading over time.

With the new closure approach, the code can be simplified and cleaned up quite
a bit.
This also removes four parameters, which is helpful for future additions (!123616)
since the parameter limit appears to be reached.

This implement the holdout flag by switching to
the holdout case in the shader. This has a few benefits:
- Doesn't recompile the shaders.
- Makes the object infos mandatory (already the case in
practice)
- Handle transparent materials properly, keeping the
transparency working.

The benefits are removing unnecessary reallocations of the string data
and unnecessary recalculations of the size, better type safety, and more
automatic memory management.

The term `PIL` stands for "platform independent library." It exists since the `Initial Revision`
commit from 2002. Nowadays, we generally just use the `BLI` (blenlib) prefix for such code
and the `PIL` prefix feels more confusing then useful. Therefore, this patch renames the
`PIL` to `BLI`.

Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
- Adds tint control, which simulates volumetric absorption inside the coating.
This results in angle-dependent saturation and affects all underlying layers
(diffuse, subsurface, metallic, transmission). It provides a physically-based
alternative to ad-hoc effects such as tinted specular highlights.
- Renames the component from "Clearcoat" to "Coat", since it's no longer
necessarily clear now. This matches naming in e.g. other renderers or OpenPBR.
- Adds an explicit Coat IOR input, in preparation for future smarter IOR logic
around the interaction between Coat and main IOR. This used to be hardcoded
to 1.5.
- Removes hardcoded 0.25 weight multiplier, and adds versioning code to update
existing files accordingly. OBJ import/export still applies the factor.
- Replaces the GTR1 microfacet component with regular GGX. This removes a corner
case in the Microfacet code, solves #53038, and makes us more consistent with
other standard surface shaders. The original Disney BSDF used GTR1, but it
doesn't appear that it caught on in the industry.

The hash tables and vector blenlib headers were pulling many more
headers than they actually need, including the C base math header,
our C string API header, and the StringRef header. All of this
potentially slows down compilation and polutes autocomplete
with unrelated information.
Also remove the `ListBase` constructor for `Vector`. It wasn't used
much, and making it easy to use `ListBase` isn't worth it for the
same reasons mentioned above.
It turns out a lot of files depended on indirect includes of
`BLI_string.h` and `BLI_listbase.h`, so those are fixed here.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
`CD_HAIRLENGTH` is not really a custom data type, it was just used to
specify the hair particle "length" attribute to pass it to EEVEE and
material preview. Because of the "typemap" array in `CustomData`,
it's better not to have this unnecessary type. Instead, use the same
mechanism used to request the active color attribute.

A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
