This manager allows to distribute existing batches for instancing
attributes. This reduce the number of batches creation.
Querying a batch is done with a vertex format. This format should
be static so that it's pointer never changes (because we are using
this pointer as identifier [we don't want to check the full format
that would be too slow]).
This might make the original Instance Data manager useless but it's currently used by DRW_object_engine_data_ensure().
Theses batches keeps their memory chuck allocated after transfer to be reused and updated very often.
NOTE: This commit break instancing in DRW. (it's fixed in the next commit)
Now that the new 3D viewport draws to a multisample offscreen buffer, there is
no good reason anymore to create an entire multisample window and pay the
performance/memory cost for other regions that don't need it.
GL_MULTISAMPLE now only gets enabled for offscreen buffers, so we don't need
to check for it throughout the UI code anymore.

This is like the only way to add variety to hair which is created
using simple children. Used here for the hair.
Maybe not ideal, but the time will show.
This can be very slow if it contains a big texture, and it's not
necessarily setup in a useful way anyway, and materials can be used
in multiple scenes.
Cycles already uses 1.5 as default. BI original 1.0 filter doesn't look good for
Eevee. The ideal scenario would be for both Cycles AND Eevee to use the same DNA
setting.
But for now it is nice to at least have Eevee renders to look better by default.
Note: This handles doversion for 2.7x files only. Files previously created in
2.8 need to be manually corrected.
It is basically brute force volume scattering within the mesh, but part
of the SSS code for faster performance. The main difference with actual
volume scattering is that we assume the boundaries are diffuse and that
all lighting is coming through this boundary from outside the volume.
This gives much more accurate results for thin features and low density.
Some challenges remain however:
* Significantly more noisy than BSSRDF. Adding Dwivedi sampling may help
here, but it's unclear still how much it helps in real world cases.
* Due to this being a volumetric method, geometry like eyes or mouth can
darken the skin on the outside. We may be able to reduce this effect,
or users can compensate for it by reducing the scattering radius in
such areas.
* Sharp corners are quite bright. This matches actual volume rendering
and results in some other renderers, but maybe not so much real world
objects.

Looks like there was no way to avoid that so far, since
WM_event_add_timer_notifier can set mere int-in-pointer there, this can
cause issues. So added mere flags system to wmTimer to allow
controlling this.
We were not passing a scene collection parent to the BKE_collection_add
function, which in turn made syncing not work.
Right now we:
* Explicitly pass the master collection in this case
* Fallback to the master collection in other cases
With unittest.
