The goal here is to avoid having to cast to and from `ID` when getting the
evaluated or original ID using the depsgraph API, which is often verbose and not
type safe. To solve this, there are now `DEG_get_original` and
`DEG_get_evaluated` methods which are templated on the type and use a new
`is_ID_v` static type check to make sure it's only used with valid types.
This allows removing quite some verbosity on all the call sites. I also removed
`DEG_get_original_object`, because that does not have to be a special case
anymore.

This makes no sense to have in the draw namespace.
Also take the opportunity for making the coordinates
a float2 and rename them to something more descriptive.
This unify the C++ and GLSL codebase style.
The GLSL types are still in the backend compatibility
layers to support python shaders. However, the C++
shader compilation layer doesn't have them to enforce
correct type usage.
Note that this is going to break pretty much all PRs
in flight that targets shader code.

They are actually already some literals with the `f` suffix
that are in our shader codebase and we never had problem in
the past 5 years (or even 8 years).
So I think it is safe to do and improves convergence of codestyles.

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

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

Move the `StaticShader` class from Workbench to `GPU_shader` and make
compilation thread-safe (Shader usage is still not thread-safe).
Use `StaticShader`s for all shader caches.
Subdivision shaders are still not ported.

This cleanup naming convention and code clarity. There
is no functional change.
- `elem_ranges` is changed to a `Map` to avoid relying on
`sel_data->drawn_index`.
- `select_draw_utils.cc` is merged with `select_engine.cc`
- `index_drawn_len` is renamed to `max_index_drawn_len`
- Remove the usage of `DrawData`

Especially through DRW_render.hh, there were a lot of unnecessary
includes almost everywhere in the module. This typically makes
dependencies less explicit and slows down compile times, so switch
to including what files actual use.

The code relied on `disable_depth_test` to render without depth testing
on selection, but it was set at pre-draw, so it was always false when
calling `res.select_bind` inside the sync code.
There was also no code to tell in-front and regular objects apart, so
in-front objects were not prioritized.
The previous engine seemingly divided the depth of In Front objects by
100, so I'm reproducing the same behavior here.

This was caused by querying on the selection state
before it is setup. It is only setup just before
the draw function.
To fix this, we sync the `info_buf` just before
drawing the overlays.
Also add some safety to avoid uninitialized memory.
Currently replacing the Mesh during evaluation with the object info node
can cause us to use invalid original indices when the source object is
in edit mode. This is really a more fundamental problem though: we have
no way to tell whether an evaluated mesh actually corresponds to the
object's original mesh.
This commit changes to explicitly propagating the edit mesh pointer
through copied and changed meshes during modifier and nodes evaluation,
instead of just blindly copying the edit mode pointer from the original
mesh to the evaluated mesh. A benefit of not writing to the evaluated
mesh means it can be shared, potentially offering a future performance
improvement for uses of the object info node.
When we detect an invalid correspondence between the evaluated/original
meshes, we skip extracting the cage mesh's data and skip extracting edit
mesh data from the evaluated object.
This commit also moves the source of "object is in edit mode" truth in
the draw module from whether the evaluated mesh has an edit mode pointer
to the object's mode flag. That's a simplification that's also helpful
to reduce the strong linking between BMesh and edit mode.

Allow passing range of resources inside the draw manager.
This allows to reduce the overhead of the drawing logic
for group of instances sharing the same drawing state.
The only catch is that we do consider them as having the
same handedness, which seems to be a valid assumption for
now.
For now this is not used and just change the API in a transparent
way to allow incremental changes to the engines code.
