Optimization of EEVEE Next's Virtual Shadow Maps for TBDRs.
The core of these optimizations lie in eliminating use of
atomic shadow atlas writes and instead utilise tile memory to
perform depth accumulation as a secondary pass once all
geometry updates for a given shadow view have been updated.
This also allows use of fast on-tile depth testing/sorting, reducing
overdraw and redundant fragment operations, while also allowing
for tile indirection calculations to be offloaded into the vertex
shader to increase fragment storage efficiency and throughput.

For some reasons, `WM_jobs_stop` and `WM_jobs_kill` would use their own
'type' of function pointer - and not even a matching one!
Among (many) other reasons why this was bad, it required very stupid
casting from code using these functions - and made editing wmJob `startjob`
signature needlessly complicated.
Enable tests for EEVEE Next.
As a workaround for allowing the use of EEVEE Next (still an
experimental feature) with `--factory-startup`, `arg_handle_engine_set`
enables the feature when `-E BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT` is used.
In addition, EEVEE Next is always registered, so it's available when
calling `WM_init`.
If it's actually disabled, it will be immediately unregistered after that.
Notes:
- `get_gpu_device_type` always fails with error:
> GPU API is not available in background mode
- Setup and tests are the same as EEVEE. There are many tests that
only make sense for Cycles, and many EEVEE Next features that are
not actually tested.

A regression since d579ac2b3f.
Cycles delays allocation of the render buffers, which makes it impossible
to access effective render resolution during rendering. This was making the
drawing code to fall-back to the full scene resolution with only percentage
and crop accounted for.
This change makes it so an empty ImBuf is used to communicate the render
result resolution. It does not have any pixel buffer associated with it,
which actually matches the behaivor prior to the offending commit.

Newly created bones and bone collections get a default name. Like
other types of data, these names should be translated if the user
enabled the translation of new data in the preferences.
This commit adds the appropriate `DATA_()` macro:
- when creating a new armature;
- when creating a new bone;
- when creating a new bone collection through `ANIM_bonecoll_new()`;
- when ensuring that a new bone collection has a unique name;
- when renaming a bone collection;
- in the bone collection tests, to check that new bones have the
expected translated name.
It also sets the default value of the bone name in the
`ARMATURE_OT_bone_primitive_add()` operator to a null string instead
of "Bone", so that the default name may be chosen while checking for
unique names, since an empty string will default to the translation.

The experimental GPU compositor always returned the first view in
multi-view rendering. This patch fixes that by also checking for the
view name of the context when searching for the appropriate pass.
When the scene has reflection probes the sampling would be reset
each frame making the viewport always redraw and not resolve.
The reason was a logic error that was introduced when we introduced
a less flickering update for reflection probes.

The probe capture pipeline still had some bindings from the previous
implementation. This could result in overwriting the `gbuf_header_tx`
with the incorrect texture as it was sharing the same binding.
This PR removes the unused light probe bindings.

The Grease Pencil 3.0 layers and groups were not properly translated:
- The layers and groups' names were translated during display in the
layer list. Since they are data, they should be left untranslated at
this time.
- On object creation, the names "GP_Layer", "Color", "Lines", and
"Fills" were not translated at all.
This adds DATA_() macros around to translate them if the user has
enabled translation of new data names.
- The functions returning unique names for layers and groups
unique_layer_group_name() and unique_layer_name() would return
"GP_Layer" and "GP_Group" by default.
These defaults are now translated.
- When adding new layers and groups, the name was always hardcoded to
"GP_Layer" and "GP_Group" because the operators' properties for the
names defaulted to that, and prop defaults cannot be translated.
Instead, make them default to a null string, but choose an
appropriate name when executing the op. This name is chosen by
unique_layer_name() and unique_layer_group_name(), whose defaults
are now translated.

Reports from the internal operator weren't forwarded to the Python
operator, they were printed in the console instead.
Resolve by moving the operator to C++, use a utility function
to launch the external editor instead of an operator.

MacOS has a different way of handling the title.
In this OS the directory is searched and taken from the title string
which is then formatted.
This limits the title format and makes it prone to errors.
This commit makes the code more generic by splitting each component of
the title beforehand and allowing the associated directory to be informed
with `GHOST_SetTitle`.

This preserves the light linking state when collection is copied manually
via the copy-paste or duplicate functionality, but also should fix the
problem of lost light linking state when adding a collection override.
