The Specialization Shader workaround generated code that wasn't Vulkan
GLSL compliant. The uintBitsToFloat cannot be used during global const
initialization.
This is a temporary work around until we implement the Specialization
Constants for Vulkan.

Even if related, they don't have the same performance
impact.
To avoid any performance hit, we replace the Diffuse
by a Subsurface Closure for legacy EEVEE and
use the subsurface closure only where needed for
EEVEE-Next leveraging the random sampling.
This increases the compatibility with cycles that
doesn't modulate the radius of the subsurface anymore.
This change is only present in EEVEE-Next.
This commit changes the principled BSDF code so that
it is easier to follow the flow of data.
For legacy EEVEE, the SSS switch is moved to a
`radius == -1` check.
This avoid the cost of creating the tiles themselves which uses a lot
texture write. This was a bottleneck on Apple GPUs.
Also the per pixel classification allows us to remove certain checks in
the deferred lighting shader making it faster.

Bundling many tests in a single binary reduces build time and disk space
usage, but is less convenient for running individual tests command line
as filter flags need to be used.
This adds WITH_TESTS_SINGLE_BINARY to generate one executable file per
source file. Note that enabling this option requires a significant amount
of disk space.
Due to refactoring, the resulting ctest names are a bit different than
before. The number of tests is also a bit different depending if this
option is used, as one uses gtests discovery and the other is organized
purely by filename, which isn't always 1:1.

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.
Render to Render workload depedency not correctly syncing
in Metal. PR adds hard pass break where GPU_memory_barrier's
occur during render workloads to ensure non-pixel-local writes
are visible to subsequent render invocations as needed. This is
required to support full pass dependencies on a tile-based GPU
architecture.
Note that these barriers are therefore expensive, so are skipped
where dependencies are local and fragment execution order is
well-represented via either blend order or explicit
raster_order_groups.

This adds some `#line` directive between the
source file injection so that the log parser knowns
which file the errors originated from.
This is then followed by a scan over the combined
source to find out the real row number.
This needed some changes in the `Shader::plint_log`
to skip lines to avoid outputing redundant information.
The GPU compositor incorrectly extrapolates values of RGBA curves node.
That's because the code introduces a half-pixel offset to the color
values since they will be used to sample the curve maps. Those same
values are then used for extrapolation, which shouldn't take the
half-pixel value into account.
This patch fixes that by computing sampler coordinate in a separate
step.

Adds API to allow usage of specialization constants in shaders.
Specialization constants are dynamic runtime constants which can
be compiled into a shader pipeline state object (PSO) to improve
runtime performance by reducing shader complexity through
shader compiler constant-folding.
This API allows specialization constant values to be specified
along with a default value if no constant value has been declared.
Each GPU backend is then responsible for caching PSO permutations
against the current specialization configuration.
This patch adds support for specialization constants in the
Metal backend and provides a generalised high-level solution
which can be adopted by other graphics APIs supporting
this feature.

This modify the GBuffer layout to store less bits per closures.
This allows packing all closures into 64 bits or 96 bits.
In turn, this reduces the amount of data stored for most
usual materials.
Moreover, this contain some groundwork for the getting rid of the
hard-coded closure type. But evaluation shaders still use
the hard-coded types.
This adds tests for checking packing and unpacking of the gbuffer
doesn't loose any data.

GPU module assumes that image and textures uses different bind
namespaces. In Vulkan this isn't the case, leading that some shaders
generate incorrect bind types, when the state has bindings that are not
used by the shader, but would conflict due to namespace differences.
This PR will only return the binding when after validating it is from
the expected namespace. This removes several validation warnings.
This was done in order to debug EEVEE using modern toolsets. These
toolsets don't support OpenGL and we use Vulkan as a workaround if
possible.

Remove most includes of this header inside other headers, to remove unnecessary
indirect includes which can have a impact on compile times. In the future we may
want more dedicated "_fwd.hh" headers, but until then, this sticks with the
solution in existing code.
Unfortunately it isn't yet possible to remove the include from `BKE_geometry_set.hh`.
Each value is now out of the global namespace, so they can be shorter
and easier to read. Most of this commit just adds the necessary casting
and namespace specification. `enum class` can be forward declared since
it has a specified size. We will make use of that in the next commit.
According to the issue not all legacy AMD platforms that required the
high quality normals workaround where enabled. I have not been able to
reproduce the issue due hardware availability.
This PR will enable the workaround for all HD ATI GPUs.

Changing size of framebuffer attachments would
throw an assertion as framebuffer size was not
correctly reset to zero. Zero allows any size
to override the current if there are no set attachments.

This adds support for Translucent BSDF.
This also fixes a bug to allow correct
shadowing.
The input normal had to be set back to
non-inverted in the node function to allow
for correct interpretation of the Normal
by Screen Space Reflections.
This add the necessary optimization
and code deduplication to hybrid deferred
and forward pipeline.

The build scripts are still referring to gpu tests as being opengl.
Although they can also use Metal or Vulkan. This PR only replaces
the work `opengl` with `gpu` for build options.
Special note is that the windows argument `with_opengl_tests` is
also replaced with `with_gpu_tests` for consistency.

This PR enables shader validation testing on buildbot for Metal.
OpenGL isn't enabled as OpenGL requires an actual driver and GPU
attached to the build bot infrastructure. Also the OpenGL backend
caches data (glsl_patch) globally and requires a restart in order to
create the correct one.
Vulkan isn't enabled as it requires some changes:
* For windows it requires to install more recent vulkan software versions as
part of the buildbot windows configuration
* For Linux it requires to start a GHOST System without any X11/Wayland
This currently fails on the buildbot. We should check if we can use
`GHOST_SystemHeadless` with `GHOST_ContextVK`
Each shaders are compiled twice. Once based on the
actual features of the installed GPU/backend. And once with all
the work-arounds enabled, simulating a platform close to the
minimum requirements of Blender.

Due to recent changes a cached patch string in GLShader grew out of
its bounds. This resulted in incorrect shader generation on selected
platforms (Reported was Windows/NVIDIA). The patch string can differ
based on the features that the GPU supports.
This PR replaces the old C-style string generation with CPP-style
string stream, making sure that the allocated memory grows with the
size of the string.

This patch adds an alternative path for devices/OSs
which do not support native texture atomics in Metal.
Support is encapsulated within the backend, ensuring
any allocated texture with the USAGE_ATOMIC flag is
allocated with a backing buffer, upon which atomic
operations happen.
The shader generation is also changed for the atomic
case, which instructs the backend to insert additional
buffer bind-points for the buffer resource. As Metal
also only supports buffer-backed textures for
textureBuffers or 2D textures, TextureArrays and
3D textures are emulated within a 2D texture, with
sample locations being indirected.
All usage of atomic textures MUST now utilise the
correct atomic texture types in the high level shader
and GPUShaderCreateInfo declarations.

During normal execution it isn't possible to switch workarounds.
However when running test cases we want to check if shaders and
other tests work when work arounds are enabled. Currently shader
patches are cached globally.
This PR moves the cached shader patch to the device level which
is rebuild every time a device needs to be reinitialized.
For OpenGL this is also an issue, but harder to solve as the concept
device doesn't exist there.
