This removes the old `DrawEngineType` and use the new `DrawEngine`
virtual class instead.
This removes a lot of boilerplate functions that were only there for
legacy reason.
To this end, some engines that were based on static functions have been
refactored into `Instance` classes. This was particularly cumbersome
for the Grease pencil engine which needed some more refactoring.
The `Engine` class that is in each namespace is a workaround to isolate
the internal implementation (i.e. the `Instance`) to the engine
modules. Without this, the whole engine is getting included in each
compile unit that includes the `Instance` class. Eventually, if we get
rid of these intricate dependencies, we could remove the `Engine` class.

This refactor part of `draw_manager_c.cc` to make it more understandable
and less bug prone.
- Splits the context handing to `draw_gpu_context.cc`
- Rename `draw_manager_c.cc` to `draw_context.cc`
- Merge `DRWContextState` into `DRWContext`
- Merge lots of static functions into `DRWContext` to avoid global access
- Deduplicate code between entry point functions
- Move context init logic to `DRWContext` constructor
- Move resource init logic to `DRWContext::acquire_data`
- Move extraction `TaskGraph` out of `DRWContext`
- Reduce / centralize complexity of enabling draw engines
- Reduce the amount of `drw_get` calls
- Remove unused code

This removes the use of `system_gpu_context_mutex`
which was making render command submission threadsafe.
The only issue is the concurent usage of GPUShader objects.
To fix this, we only guard the submission section which
are the only parts that uses the GPUShaders.
Removing this critical section all together requires some changes
in the GPUShader. See #135406

This cleanup naming convention and code clarity. There
is no functional change.
- `elem_ranges` is changed to a `Map` to avoid relying on
`sel_data->drawn_index`.
- `select_draw_utils.cc` is merged with `select_engine.cc`
- `index_drawn_len` is renamed to `max_index_drawn_len`
- Remove the usage of `DrawData`

Especially through DRW_render.hh, there were a lot of unnecessary
includes almost everywhere in the module. This typically makes
dependencies less explicit and slows down compile times, so switch
to including what files actual use.

The `object_to_world` and `world_to_object` matrices are set during
depsgraph evaluation, calculated from the object's animated location,
rotation, scale, parenting, and constraints. It's confusing and
unnecessary to store them with the original data in DNA.
This commit moves them to `ObjectRuntime` and moves the matrices to
use the C++ `float4x4` type, giving the potential for simplified code
using the C++ abstractions. The matrices are accessible with functions
on `Object` directly since they are used so commonly. Though for write
access, directly using the runtime struct is necessary.
The inverse `world_to_object` matrix is often calculated before it's
used, even though it's calculated as part of depsgraph evaluation.
Long term we might not want to store this in `ObjectRuntime` at all,
and just calculate it on demand. Or at least we should remove the
redundant calculations. That should be done separately though.

Now that the select engine data uses non-trivial objects in its global
data, storing it at the global scope causes trouble due to arbitrary
construction and destruction order. Instead use the construct on first use
idiom to make the order clear. Though this struct probably shouldn't be
static at all, it does simplify memory management as well, it's nice to
remove the need to manually clear the arrays.

Overall the transition to C++ in the draw module is awkwardly half
complete, but moving more code to a C++ namespace makes cleaning up
this code in other ways much easier, and the next C++ cleanup steps
are clear anyway.
The selection engine has some complex tricks that improve performance.
These are:
- Only draws objects whose bounding box intersects the selection
threshold;
- If the viewport or objects are not "dirty", it does not clean the
texture IDs and only adds objects that have not yet been drawn;
- Only updates the depth buffer if a new object is drawn;
- Skip drawing if no object is found;
These tricks were initially implemented so that this engine could be
used for snapping.
But this initial idea has changed and now the engine is only used to
select Vertices, Edges or Faces.
Due to this limited use, these tricks bring no real benefit.
In fact, it's even worse with the Retopology Overlay, as it forces the
Depth buffer to be redrawn.
This commit removes these tricks and only keeps those that indicate
whether the drawing needs to be updated.

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.
