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.
Crash manifested after the inclusion of #128877.
The very tall 3D texture tested by the new code
were not supported / tested by the Metal Backend.
Simply adding the appropriate upfront checks fixes
the issue.
Needs to be backported to 4.2
Adding a dummy storage buffer to the classification shader
seems to fix the issue on Qualcomm drivers (WoA).
The workaround is added to the force workaround option to
allow other platforms to test the fix.

When using AMD official driver clearing depth attachments can fail.
I assume it is related to previous pipeline states and dynamic rendering
that don't require the correct pipeline state for clearing depth
attachments.

Qualcomm driver can not handle the optimized SPIR-V that Blender
creates. According to their driver engineers this is an issue in
shaderc. As we are late in the release process they asked us to disable
the optimizations.
In Blender 4.4 we are planning to update shaderc what might fix the
issue. This should be retested after the update.

The start of the buffer is ensured to be correct. So there
is no downside in printing the content of the overflowed
buffer.
At least, we get a feedback at which command is flooding it.
For C/C++ doc-strings should be located in headers,
move function comments into the headers, in some cases merging
with existing doc-strings, in other cases, moving implementation
notes into the function body.
Avoid measuring the length of strings repeatedly by passing their
length along with their data with `StringRefNull`. Null termination
seems to be necessary still for passing the shader sources to OpenGL.
Though I doubt this is a bottleneck, it's still nice to avoid overhead from
string operations and this helps move in that direction.

Running Xcode memory graphs and the Instruments tools revealed
memory leaks caused, in the main, by over-retained objects.
This removes the unnecessary 'retains' and adds some asserts
to guard against over-retaining in the future.
There are a few memory leaks remaining involving PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8
but I am unable to identify the cause of these at this time.

This removes the need for the geometry shader and the
workaround path for Metal.
Note that creating 2 batches for each stroke might become
a bottleneck in bigger scenes. But currently the bottleneck
is always be the fill algorithm. It can be optimized further
if needed.

Addresses the case when Blender is shutdown before the
parallel compiler has finished processing all the shader batches.
The parallel compiler destructor will now attempt to terminate all
of the outstanding batches and free the shaders.

The issue was that the shader `gpu_shader_gpencil_stroke_vert_no_geom.glsl`
assumed a wrong format of the color attribute (`uchar4` instead of `float4`).
The fix uses `vertex_fetch_attribute` with `float4`.
