The OpenGL extension `GL_ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array` wasn't turned
off when starting blender with `--debug-gpu-force-workarounds`. Although
all known supported platforms support this extension and we haven't seen
any failures with it, it was mentioned to be phased out as we consider
it to be a core extension, which it isn't.
This PR will enable the workaround for this extension and remove the
extension from the phase out list.

Optimization of EEVEE Next's Virtual Shadow Maps for TBDRs.
The core of these optimizations lie in eliminating use of
atomic shadow atlas writes and instead utilise tile memory to
perform depth accumulation as a secondary pass once all
geometry updates for a given shadow view have been updated.
This also allows use of fast on-tile depth testing/sorting, reducing
overdraw and redundant fragment operations, while also allowing
for tile indirection calculations to be offloaded into the vertex
shader to increase fragment storage efficiency and throughput.

We don't ship with OpenGL anymore on Mac platform.
The build option is not even available anymore.
This removes any reference to Apple or Mac in the
Opengl module.
Note that I left the depth_blitting_workaround
even if it originaly meant for Mac because it
might be still useful for other hardware.

This just do a clear in place for the clear load op.
At least it allows for same result accross backend as
the other op types are only here for performance.
This adds basic emulation of the subpass input feature
of vulkan and to a lower extend Raster Order Group on Metal.
This help test paths that might use this feature in the future
(like shadow rendering) on all platform and or simplify higher
level code for supporting older hardware.
This add clear description to the load/store ops and to the
new `GPUAttachementState`.
The OpenGL backend will correctly mask un-writable
attachments and will bind as texture readable attachments.
Even if possible by the vulkan standard, the GPU API prohibit
the read and write to the same attachment inside the same
subpass.
In the GL backend, this is implemented using `glTextureBarrier`
and `texelFetch` as it is described in the ARB_texture_barrier
extension.

The workaround for shader draw parameters isn't working for OpenGL. The
reason is that it isn't looking for the correct attribute to attach the
buffer to.
This fixes the issue that all objects where drawn using the unit matrix when
starting blender with `--debug-gpu-force-workarounds`.
Fixes#112641

Blender 4.0 requires OpenGL 4.3 which always support SSBO's.
Platforms that don't support enough SSBO bind points will be marked
as unsupported.
Users who start Blender on those platforms will be informed via a
dialog. This PR also updates the `--debug-gpu-force-workarounds`
to match our minimum requirements. Note that some bugs are still
there that should be solved in other PRs:
* Workbench only renders the object using a unit matrix this is because
there is a bug in the workaround for shader_draw_parameters
* Navigating with middle mouse button is not working. Unsure what the
cause is, but might be a missing feature check in the OpenGL backend.

Blender has the option to disable SSBO support. This was accessible
as a command line option `--debug-gpu-disable-ssbo`.
Blender 4.0 has a hard requirement for OpenGL 4.3 which includes
SSBO support by default.
This PR removes the command line option as it makes no sense to
have it anymore.

Enhance custom framebuffer binding state to allow
specification of clear color as part of the loadstore
state at framebuffer bind time.
This ensures all parameters controlling attachment
loading and storage behaviour can be explicitly
specified when binding a framebuffer.
This change enables optimizations which leverage
explicit framebuffer load store state to also specify
a clear color without prematurely triggering a
clear which may occur independently to
render work when using GPU_framebuffer_clear(..).

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.

Extract a mask from the stencil buffer and use that texture instead
when texture views are not available.
Needed for supporting the Windows ARM software driver.
The workaround is isolated on its own class so it's easy to remove once
it's no longer needed.
Note that while this adds a function to check if texture views are available
(`GPU_texture_view_support`), at the moment this always returns true in
practice, since OpenGL 4.3 is the minimum supported version.
A separate patch will be needed to allow Blender to run using
OpenGL 4.2 + extensions.

Including <iostream> or similar headers is quite expensive, since it
also pulls in things like <locale> and so on. In many BLI headers,
iostreams are only used to implement some sort of "debug print",
or an operator<< for ostream.
Change some of the commonly used places to instead include <iosfwd>,
which is the standard way of forward-declaring iostreams related
classes, and move the actual debug-print / operator<< implementations
into .cc files.
This is not done for templated classes though (it would be possible
to provide explicit operator<< instantiations somewhere in the
source file, but that would lead to hard-to-figure-out linker error
whenever someone would add a different template type). There, where
possible, I changed from full <iostream> include to only the needed
<ostream> part.
For Span<T>, I just removed print_as_lines since it's not used by
anything. It could be moved into a .cc file using a similar approach
as above if needed.
Doing full blender build changes include counts this way:
- <iostream> 1986 -> 978
- <sstream> 2880 -> 925
It does not affect the total build time much though, mostly because
towards the end of it there's just several CPU cores finishing
compiling OpenVDB related source files.

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.
Add a High Dynamic Range option in the Color Management > Display panel.
This enables display of extended color ranges above 1.0 for the 3D
viewport, image editor and render previews.
This requires a monitor that can display HDR colors, and a view
transform designed for HDR output. The Standard view transform works,
but Filmic does not as it was designed to bring values into the 0..1
range for SDR displays.
This patch is limited to allowing the display to visualize extended
colors, but does not include future looking work to better integrate HDR
into the full workflow.
It is implemented by rendering to high bit-depth texture formats for
the user interface, and uncapping the color range in color management.

This add the possibility to define different
viewports inside a single framebuffer and
let the vertex shader decide which viewport
to render to.
This only contain the GL and VK implementation.
The Vulkan implementation works but still
has a validation error related to shader features
and extension. The test passes nonetheless.

AMD official driver reports that they support multi-bindings, but
in the cases we are using it it fails. This is noticable in Eevee-
next where the shadows aren't rendered.
This fix disables multi-bindings for images for AMD Official drivers
n all OS's. Textures will still use multi-bindings.

Implements part of #101689.
The "poly" name was chosen to distinguish the `MLoop` + `MPoly`
combination from the `MFace` struct it replaced. Those two structures
persisted together for a long time, but nowadays `MPoly` is gone, and
`MFace` is only used in some legacy code like the particle system.
To avoid unnecessarily using a different term, increase consistency
with the UI and with BMesh, and generally make code a bit easier to
read, this commit replaces the `poly` term with `poly`. Most variables
that use the term are renamed too. `Mesh.totface` and `Mesh.fdata` now
have a `_legacy` suffix to reduce confusion. In a next step, `pdata`
can be renamed to `face_data` as well.

This removes the GL 3.3 fallback because default viewport engine
now require some features only present in GL 4.3.
Blender now also check for GL version 4.6 instead of 4.5 in some

hardware.

This PR enables cubemap array extension in compute shaders when
supported by the platform. When used the shader must include
cubemap_lib as it contains a fallback implementation when
cubemap arrays aren't supported by the platform.
NOTE: This extension is available in Core Vulkan and doesn't need to be enabled.
Metal doesn't support cubemap arrays and would use the fallback.

* Various functions create/destroy/enable/disable both contexts, these have
just gpu_context in the name now.

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:

Adds stencil texture view support for Metal, allowing reading of
stencil component during texture sample/read.
Stencil view creation refactored to use additional parameter in

When creating a texture view, Metal may require that the original
GPUTexture state is modified in some way. This may be a result
of deferred creation, or, to cache the texture view against the
source.
As a result, GPUTexture passed into GPU_texture_create_view
cannot be const.
Small fixes have also been made in the Metal texture
implementation to ensure correct function of texture views.

After investigating the crash logs it looked like the macro
unrolling wasn't working on Windows systems with these GPUs.
Macro unrolling was changed in order to cross compile to Metal and
in the future to Vulkan. The macro unrolling in OpenGL can be removed
by using a different naming scema.
This PR removes the macro unrolling by changing the generated GLSL
code:
**Before**
```
layout(std140) uniform _probe_block
{
ProbeBlock probe_block;
};
```
**After**
```
layout(std140) uniform probe_block
{
ProbeBlock _probe_block;
};
```
Some tweaks had to be done to the Eevee-shaders to make sure that
the macro unrolling is done correctly and could be compiled using
legacy opengl drivers.

This patch refactors the texture samples code by mainly splitting the
eGPUSamplerState enum into multiple smaller enums and packing them
inside a GPUSamplerState struct. This was done because many members of
the enum were mutually exclusive, which was worked around during setting
up the samplers in the various backends, and additionally made the API
confusing, like the GPU_texture_wrap_mode function, which had two
mutually exclusive parameters.
The new structure also improved and clarified the backend sampler cache,
reducing the cache size from 514 samplers to just 130 samplers, which
also slightly improved the initialization time. Further, the
GPU_SAMPLER_MAX signal value was naturally incorporated into the
structure using the GPU_SAMPLER_STATE_TYPE_INTERNAL type.
The only expected functional change is in the realtime compositor, which
now supports per-axis repetition control, utilizing new API functions
for that purpose.
This patch is loosely based on an older patch D14366 by Ethan Hall.
