In a profile of sculpting with the Vulkan GPU backend enabled,
This function made up 0.7% of samples. Since it's just a single
comparison, inlining it should be helpful for the compiler.

New function called immRectf_with_texco(), which resides next to the other
immRectf utilities.
Currently used in a single place in the sequencer, but it will be used in
a few other places in the future.

This is completely unused, not implemented for the Vulkan backend, and
seems to add quite a bit of complexity to the Metal and OpenGL backends.
It was added for EEVEE legacy motion blur, and the last use was removed
along with EEVEE legacy. We're probably better off not maintaining it since
we should avoid duplicating vertex buffer data anyway.

Make GPU_viewport_colorspace_set() const-crrect w.r.t view_settings.
Instead of doing in-place modifications of the view_settings argument
with restoring them later introduce new function for copying view
settings which keeps curve mapping unchanged in the destination.
Should be no functional changes.

See #129009 for context.
The preprocessor parses metadata and writes a header file containing
an inline function that inits the `GPUSource` with the metadata.
These header files are then included inside `gpu_shader_dependency.cc`.
This still keep the usage of the `metadata` enums and classes to avoid
pulling the whole blender module inside the preprocessor executable.
This speeds-up startup time in Debug build:
`gpu_shader_dependency_init`
- Before : 37ms
- After : 4ms
I didn't measure release, but it is unlikely to be noticeable (in the
order of 4ms > 1ms).

This avoid recreating the GPU context for each individual
tests. This reduces the overhead drastically.
Excluding static_shaders and texture_pool tests I get for GPUVulkanTest:
`Before: 129 tests from 1 test suite ran. (26304 ms total) `
`After: 129 tests from 1 test suite ran. (6965 ms total) `
Including static_shaders and texture_pool tests I get for GPUMetalTest:
`Before: 124 tests from 1 test suite ran. (54654 ms total)`
`After: 124 tests from 1 test suite ran. (1870 ms total)`
Given the tests are run twice for the workarounds versions, the
speedup can be multiplied by 2.
Overall tests time is still largely dominated by shader compilation time.
However, there is still 3x improvement using this patch:
Including static_shaders and texture_pool tests I get for GPUVulkanTest,
GPUVulkanWorkaroundTest, GPUOpenGLTest, GPUOpenGLWorkaroundTest:
`Before: 516 tests from 4 test suites ran. (318878 ms total)`
`After: 516 tests from 4 test suites ran. (106593 ms total)`

Metal and Vulkan don't support line smoothing. There is a workaround
implemented. This workaround is only enabled when linesmooth value is
larger than 1. However When using smooth lines it should also be used.
This is fixed by adding a `GPU_line_smooth_get` function for getting the
current line smooth state.

Each time when rendering an image a new context is created. When the
context is destroyed it can still contain a render graph, which ownership
isn't transferred back to the device. Resulting in an increase of several
MB per render. The render graph is cleanly destroyed during quiting as
there is a master list of created render graphs.
Fixed by moving the ownership of the render graph back to the device
when a context is unregistered.

When allocating a large vertex buffer on NVIDIA it tried to allocate it
on the GPU and host visible. This section is limited in size (256MB).
However when allocating a large vertex buffer it should not have been
chosen.
Detected during investigation of #137909.
It removes the validation error, but it is unclear yet if this solves the'
crash as I wasn't able to reproduce the crash.

* Pixel buffer is always allocated with export and dedicated memory flags.
* Returns an opaque file descriptor (Unix) or handle (Windows).
* Native handle now includes memory size as it may be slightly bigger
than the requested size.

Previously spell checker ignored text in single quotes however this
meant incorrect spelling was ignored in text where it shouldn't have
been.
In cases single quotes were used for literal strings
(such as variables, code & compiler flags),
replace these with back-ticks.
In cases they were used for UI labels,
replace these with double quotes.
In cases they were used to reference symbols,
replace them with doxygens symbol link syntax (leading hash).
Apply some spelling corrections & tweaks (for check_spelling_* targets).
It's safer to pass a type so that it can be checked if delete should be
used instead. Also changes a few void pointer casts to const_cast so that
if the data becomes typed it's an error.

For performance reasons render graphs can keep memory allocated so it
could be reused. This PR optimizes the memory usage inside the
rendergraph to keep it within normal usage.
I didn't detect any performance regression with this change but reduces
the memory when performing final image rendering of heavy scenes.
Partial fix for #137382. the amount of memory still increases with 4mb
per render. It fixes the main difference when using large scenes.

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.
Descriptor pools were never discarded, leading to out of memory issues
when running for a long time. This PR discards used descriptor pool when
the render graph is submitted to the device.
- Detected that to descriptor sets could be uploaded multiple times
however once was always empty.
- When render graph is flushed all descriptor pools are discarded.
- Improved debugging of discard pools.

Do this only when applicable.
This allow better compile time checking in Shader C++ compilation.
Moreover, this allows to have `constexpr` in shared code between
C++ and GLSL.
After investigation the `const` keyword in GLSL has the same
semantic than C/C++.

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.

A couple of memory leak fixes for the vulkan backend.
We increment the submission_id on render_graphs upon reset. This
triggers cleanup of anything tracked as a VKResourceTracker. Notably
uniform buffers created for push constant fallbacks. This fixes a memory
leak that was accumulating VKUniformBuffers every frame without cleaning
them up.
Reset resource pools when a swapchain image is presented. This ends up
calling vkResetDescriptorPool, freeing up descriptor set resources. This
fixes a memory leak that was accumulate descriptor sets and pools over
time without freeing them.
