New ("fullframe") CPU compositor backend is being used now, and all the code
related to "tiled" CPU compositor is just never used anymore. The new backend
is faster, uses less memory, better matches GPU compositor, etc.
TL;DR: 20 thousand lines of code gone.
This commit:
- Removes various bits and pieces related to "tiled" compositor (execution
groups, one-pixel-at-a-time node processing, read/write buffer operations
related to node execution groups).
- "GPU" (OpenCL) execution device, that was only used by several nodes of
the tiled compositor.
- With that, remove CLEW external library too, since nothing within Blender
uses OpenCL directly anymore.

Visually it is the same as the execution time implemented for the
geometry nodes, and it is to be enabled in the overlay popover.
The implementation is separate from the geometry nodes, as it is
not easy or practical to re-use the geometry nodes implementation.
The execution time is stored in a run-time hash, indexed by a node
instance key. This is similar to the storage of the mode preview
images, but is stored on the scene runtime data and not on the node
tree. Indexing the storage by key allows to easily copy execution
statistics from localized tree to its original version.
The time is only implemented for full-frame compositor, as for the
tiled compositor it could be tricky to calculate reliable time for
pixel processing nodes which process one pixel at a time.

The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

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.
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.
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:
https://reuse.software/faq/
Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.
Follow the SPDX license specification: https://spdx.org/licenses
- C/C++/objc/objc++
- Python
- Shell Scripts
- CMake, GNUmakefile
While most of the source tree has been included
- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they
use different header conventions.
doc/license/SPDX-license-identifiers.txt has been added to list SPDX all
used identifiers.

This commit adds functionality for operations that require pixel
translation or resizing on "Full Frame" mode, allowing to adjust
their canvas. It fixes most cropping issues in translate, scale,
rotate and transform nodes by adjusting their canvas to the result,
instead of the input canvas.
Operations output buffer is still always on (0,0) position for
easier image algorithm implementation, even when the
canvas is not.
Current limitations (will be addressed on bcon2):
- Displayed translation in Viewer node is limited to 6000px.
- When scaling up the canvas size is limited to the
scene resolution size x 1.5 . From that point it crops.
If none of these limitations are hit, the Viewer node displays
the full input with any translation.

This is a code refactor in preparation of supporting canvas
compositing. See {D12466}.
No functional changes, all canvases are at (0,0) position matching
tiled implementation.

It's the case of Image or Movie Clip node when not selecting any
source or an empty one.
Render methods expect an output buffer with size, only render
operations with resolution.
When fixing issues, seeing operation results can be helpful for
detecting which operation went wrong.
This commit adds an option for exporting all operations results to
image files.
Exceptions are:
- Output operations: They are already exported or can be seen in UI.
- Constant operations: There are too many and is rarely useful.
They are exported to "<temp session folder>/COM_operations/"
with filenames "<operation class name>_<operation id>.png".
Only works on full frame execution mode.

Work scheduler needed initialization and execution models are
not created during constant folding. This moves work execution
method to execution system.
Currently there is no clear way to know if an operation is constant
(i.e. when all rendered pixels have same values). Operations may
need to get constant input values before rendering to determine
their resolution or areas of interest. This is the case of scale, rotate
and translate operations. Only "set operations" are known as
constant but many more are constant when all their inputs are so.
Such cases can be optimized by only rendering one pixel.
Current solution for tiled implementation is to get first pixel
from input. This works for root execution groups, others
need previous groups to be rendered.
On full frame implementation this is not possible, because buffers
are created on rendering to reduce peak memory and there is
no per pixel calls.
This patch evaluates all operations that are constant into primitive
operations (Value/Vector/Color) before determining resolutions.

In order to reduce stack size this patch converts full frame
recursive methods into iterative.
- No functional changes.
- No performance changes.
- Memory peak may slightly vary depending on the tree because
now breadth-first traversal is used instead of depth-first.
Tests in D11113 have same results except for test1 memory peak:
360MBs instead of 329.50MBs.

This patch adds the base code needed to make the full-frame system work for both current tiled/per-pixel implementation of operations and full-frame.
Two execution models:
- Tiled: Current implementation. Renders execution groups in tiles from outputs to input. Not all operations are buffered. Runs the tiled/per-pixel implementation.
- FullFrame: All operations are buffered. Fully renders operations from inputs to outputs. Runs full-frame implementation of operations if available otherwise the current tiled/per-pixel. Creates output buffers on first read and free them as soon as all its readers have finished, reducing peak memory usage of complex/long trees. Operations are multi-threaded but do not run in parallel as Tiled (will be done in another patch).
This should allow us to convert operations to full-frame in small steps with the system already working and solve the problem of high memory usage.
FullFrame breaking changes respect Tiled system, mainly:
- Translate, Rotate, Scale, and Transform take effect immediately instead of next buffered operation.
- Any sampling is always done over inputs instead of last buffered operation.
