This reduces the API and make it more clear where there
is the global access.
This also removes some of these global access by merging
the `DRW_context_get()` calls.
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

Similar changes done elsewhere (#116901), replace usage of the GPU API's
`GPU_indexbuf_add_generic_vert` function by simply writing the index
data that we need. This avoids a function call and min/max tests for
every index added.

Instead of computing an index mask for all curves, then returning an
intersection with the visible curves, just use the visible curves as
a universe for the original calculation. Also add another early out
for when there are no NURBS curves.
Currently the drawing data extraction code uses the offset indices API
quite inefficiently, copying the size of every selected every curve, then
accumulating those sizes. Instead just use the existing API function that
counts the size of all selected curves. Also for the weight overlay, avoid
doing the same calculation twice.
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

Blender already had its own copy of OpenSubDiv containing some local fixes
and code-style. This code still used gl-calls. This PR updates the calls
to use GPU module. This allows us to use OpenSubDiv to be usable on other
backends as well.
This PR was tested on OpenGL, Vulkan and Metal. Metal can be enabled,
but Vulkan requires some API changes to work with loose geometry.
# Considerations
**ShaderCreateInfo**
intern/opensubdiv now requires access to GPU module. This to create buffers
in the correct context and trigger correct dispatches. ShaderCreateInfo is used
to construct the shader for cross compilation to Metal/Vulkan. However opensubdiv
shader caching structures are still used.
**Vertex buffers vs storage buffers**
Implementation tries to keep as close to the original OSD implementation. If
they used storage buffers for data, we will use GPUStorageBuf. If it uses vertex
buffers, we will use gpu::VertBuf.
**Evaluator const**
The evaluator cannot be const anymore as the GPU module API only allows
updating SSBOs when constructing. API could be improved to support updating
SSBOs.
Current implementation has a change to use reads out of bounds when constructing
SSBOs. An API change is in the planning to remove this issue. This will be fixed in
an upcoming PR. We wanted to land this PR as the visibility of the issue is not
common and multiple other changes rely on this PR to land.

This avoid having to flush explicitely and the need for syncing.
It also removes a lot of complexity in the process.
These updates are not granular and do not need to so much
boiler plate code.
The depsgraph update counter now becomes atomic to avoid
undefined behavior when a depsgraph is being destroyed and
its memory reused (same thinking as the non-copy-on-eval IDs).
I tested some use cases (object update, sculpt update,
shading update) and they are all working.

The owner of the context is now always the local context.
The `DRWContext` is now a temporary object that owns
no data.
The draw debug API is being put in a non-working state by
this PR as it conflicts with the new lifetime / ownership of
the `DRWContext` class.
A new design with a global (threadsafe) debug module is needed
to add back support for these debug features. Note that these
are not user facing features.
Some parts of EEVEE are still calling the global context and that
caused crashes in the volume probe baking pipeline where
the context is not yet known. Sort circuiting these function
calls in this case fixes the issue, but a more longer term
solution would be to alway have a `DRWContext` available inside
`eevee::Instance`.
I did some testing and didn't find much of a difference in frame time.
However, we should still strive to remove all global access in the future
to avoid potential overhead of `thread_local`.

The general idea is to keep the 'old', C-style MEM_callocN signature, and slowly
replace most of its usages with the new, C++-style type-safer template version.
* `MEM_cnew<T>` allocation version is renamed to `MEM_callocN<T>`.
* `MEM_cnew_array<T>` allocation version is renamed to `MEM_calloc_arrayN<T>`.
* `MEM_cnew<T>` duplicate version is renamed to `MEM_dupallocN<T>`.
Similar templates type-safe version of `MEM_mallocN` will be added soon
as well.
Following discussions in !134452.
NOTE: For now static type checking in `MEM_callocN` and related are slightly
different for Windows MSVC. This compiler seems to consider structs using the
`DNA_DEFINE_CXX_METHODS` macro as non-trivial (likely because their default
copy constructors are deleted). So using checks on trivially
constructible/destructible instead on this compiler/system.

`OpenSubdiv_Buffer` is a wrapper that was introduced at the time
that Blender couldn't use CPP directly. It contains a pointer to
a VertBuf and callbacks to use GPU module on that buffer.
This PR replaces OpenSubdiv_Buffer with `blender::gpu::VertBuf` and
removes the wrapper.
NOTE: OpenSubdiv tests are added to blender_test executable to make the
library dependencies not to complicated.

- Avoid overhead of GPU index buffer "add vert" utilities
- Add utility for consistent order of point and handle data
- Make some variable names more consistent
