This patch allows the compositor context to specify exactly which
outputs it needs, selecting from: Composite, Viewer, File Output, and
Previews. Previously, the compositor fully executed if any of those were
needed, without granular control on which outputs are needed exactly.
For the viewport compositor engine, it requests Composite and Viewer,
with no Previews or File Outputs.
For the render pipeline, it requests Composite and File Output, with
node Viewer or Previews.
For the interactive compositor, it requests Viewer if the backdrop is
visible or an image editor with the viewer image is visible, it requests
Compositor if an image editor with the render result is visible, it
requests Previews if a node editor has previews overlay enabled. File
outputs are never requested.

There is a special case in the compositor code where viewer nodes are
treated as composite nodes. This patch renames relevant methods and
updates comments to clarify this use case.

This commit exposes the "Quality" option of the Open Image Denoiser
to the user for the denoise node in the compositor.
There are a few quality modes:
- High - Highest quality, but takes the longest to process.
- Balanced - Slightly lower quality, but usually halves
the processing time compared to High.
- Fast - Further reduce the quality, for a small increase in
speed over Balanced.
Along with that there is a `Follow Scene` option which will use the
quality set in the scene settings.
This allows users that have multiple denoise nodes
(E.g. For multi-pass denoising), to quickly switch all nodes between
different quality modes.
Performance (denoising time):
High: 13 seconds
Balanced: 6 seconds
Fast: 5 seconds
Test setup:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Denoising a 3840x2160 render

Follow ups:
Ideally the "Denoise Nodes" UI panel in the render properties panel
would be hidden if the compositor setup does not contain any
denoise nodes.
However implementing this efficiently can be difficult and so it was
decided this task was outside the scope of this commit.

By now it is just a "compositor", so move the files one folder up.
Things that were under realtime_compositor/intern move into
already existing intern folder.
