This is a rewrite of GHOST_ContextVK to align with Metal backend as described
in #111389 - solution 3 with the adaptation that GHOST is still responsible
for presenting the swap chain image and a post callback is still needed in
case the swapchain is recreated.
This PR also includes some smaller improvements in stability.
Technical documentation: https://developer.blender.org/docs/eevee_and_viewport/gpu/vulkan/swap_chain/
* Renderpasses and framebuffers are not owned anymore by GHOST_ContextVK
* VKFramebuffer doesn't contain a swap chain image.
* Swapchain images can only be used as a blit destination or present source.
Not as an attachment.
* GHOST_ContextVK::swapBuffers would call a callback with the image the
GPU module needs to blit the results to.
* Clearing of depth/stencil attachments when no depth write state is set.
* Enable VK_KHR_maintenance4 to relax the stage interface mapping.
* Removes most vulkan validation warnings/errors.
* Detection of frame buffer changes that needs to be applied before
performing a command requiring render pass (draw/clear attachment)
**Benefits**
* Late retrieval of a swap chain image results in better overall performance as
Blender doesn't need to wait until the image is presented on the screen.
* Easier API and clearer state (transitions)
* More control over Image layouts and command buffer states. (Better alignment with
Vulkan API)

Implements the GHOST_GetPixelAtCursor for the X11 backend, allowing
the user to sample any color displayed on the screen.
Noted some limitations in the code-comments.
Ref !111493.
- GHOST_SystemPathsCocoa::getUserSpecialDir
used `strncpy` without ensuring the string was null terminated.
- GHOST_SystemPathsCocoa::getBinaryDir
used `strcpy` without checking the destination buffer size.
The recent change to header copyrights [0] unintentionally changed
"Blender Foundation" to "Blender Authors" for the WIN32 file path
which blender is installed into.
Revert lines changed that aren't related to copyright text.

This adds a new Ghost function, GHOST_GetPixelAtCursor, that allows
picking colors from outside of Blender windows. This only has an
implementation for the Windows platform, but this should allow other
platforms to also do so if possible.

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.
With the introduction of metal and vulkan we use a different
GPU backend selection which broke the dialog box for unsupported
platforms.
Blender asserted and segfaulted before the dialog was being shown
to the user.
This patch solves this by introducing a dummy GPU backend in case no
GPU backend was supported by OpenGL, Metal and Vulkan Backend.
It also adds the showMessageBox to GHOST_SystemCocoa.

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.

The cleanup of blenkernel last weeks , caused the house of cards to
collapse on top of bf_gpu's shader_builder, which is off by default
but used on a daily basis by the rendering team.
Given the fixes forward in #110394 ran into a ODR violation in OSL that
was hiding there for years, I don't see another way forward without
impeding the rendering teams productivity for "quite a while" as there
is no guarantee the OSL issue would be the end of it.
the only way forward appears to be back.

The problematic commit was 07fe6c5a57
as blenkernel links most of blender, it's a bit of a link order issue
magnet. Given all these commits stack, it's near impossible to revert
just that one without spending a significant amount of time resolving
merge conflicts. 99% of that work was automated, so easier to just
revert all of them, and re-do the work, than it is to deal with the
merge conflicts.

The maximum OpenGL versions supported on mac
doesn't meet the minimum required version (>=4.3) anymore.
This removes all the OpenGL paths in GHOST
Cocoa backend and from the drop down menu in
the user preferences.

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
cases.
Note that this does not remove the OpenGL support on Apple
hardware.

Allows Win32 key repeat filtering to support multiple simultaneously
repeating keys, as can happen with modifiers. Removes
m_keycode_last_repeat_key and instead checks current down status.
