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.

Incorrect data format was selected when using CPU data transfers in
OpenXR. It always used `GPU_DATA_HALF_FLOAT`, also when the swapchains
where `GPU_RGBA8`. This resulted in black screens in release mode, and
asserts in debud mode.
Fixed by selecting the correct data transfer data type based on the
swapchain format.

- Make the module global and allow usage from anywhere.
- Remove the matrix API for thread safety reason
- Add lifetime management
- Make display linked to the overlays for easy toggling
## Notes
- Lifetime is in redraw. If there is 4 viewport redrawing, the lifetime decrement by 4 for each window redraw. This allows one viewport to be producer and another one being the consumer.
- Display happens at the start of overlays. Any added visuals inside of the overlays drawing functions will be displayed the next redraw.
- Redraw is not given to happen. It is only given if there is some scene / render update which tags the viewport to redraw.
- Persistent lines are not reset on file load.

This PR add support to use a win32 handle to perform share render
result with the OpenXR vulkan instance. This is only possible when
the GPU matches. Otherwise a CPU roundtrip will be performed.

This PR implements dynamic viewport state for the Vulkan gpu backend.
By doing so, it fixes#130914.
The following high-level changes were made:
1. The pipeline pool no longer uses the viewport and scissor
states to identify graphics pipelines, only the number of viewports
and the number of scissors. Graphics pipelines are configured with
dynamic viewport and scissor states upon construction.
2. The desired viewport and scissor configurations for drawing are set
in the data of the draw nodes in the render graph.
3. The draw nodes use these viewport and scissors settings in
`build_commands`. If the viewport and scissor settings have changed
between nodes, then vkCmdSetViewport and vkCmdSetScissor commands
are sent to the command buffer.
4. Tests are updated to verify that set_viewport and set_scissor commands
are executed the correct number of times. (Also note that I needed to
#136987 in order to avoid skipping some Vulkan tests).
See the attached screencast for verification. The number of graphics pipelines
no longer grow when resizing the viewport.

Update the `ShaderCompilerGeneric` to support deferred compilation
using the batch compilation API, so we can get rid of
`drw_manager_shader`.
This approach also allows supporting non-blocking compilation
for static shaders.
This shouldn't cause any behavior changes at the moment, since batch
compilation is not yet used when parallel compilation is disabled.
This adds a `GPUWorker` and a `GPUSecondaryContext` as an easy to use
wrapper for managing secondary GPU contexts.

Current implementation uses a CPU roundtrip to transfer render result
to the Xr Swapchain. This PR adds support for sharing the render result
on Linux systems by using file descriptors.
To extend this solution to win32 or dx handles can be done by extending
the data transfer modes, register the correct extensions. When not
using the same GPU between Blender and OpenXR the CPU roundtrip
will still be used.
Solution has been validated with monado simulator and seems to be as
fast as OpenGL.
Performance can be improved by using GPU based synchronization.
Current API is limited as we cannot chain the different renders and
swapchains.

This patch supports GPU OIDN denoising in the compositor. A new
compositor performance option was added to allow choosing between CPU,
GPU, and Auto device selection. Auto will use whatever the compositor is
using for execution.
The code is two folds, first, denoising code was adapted to use buffers
as opposed to passing in pointers to filters directly, this is needed to
support GPU devices. Second, device creation is now a bit more involved,
it tries to choose the device is being used by the compositor for
execution.
Matching GPU devices is done by choosing the OIDN device that matches
the UUID or LUID of the active GPU platform. We need both UUID and LUID
because not all platforms support both. UUID is supported on all
platforms except MacOS Metal, while LUID is only supported on Window and
MacOS metal.
If there is no active GPU device or matching is unsuccessful, we let
OIDN choose the best device, which is typically the fastest.
To support this case, UUID and LUID identifiers were added to the
GPUPlatformGlobal and are initialized by the GPU backend if supported.
OpenGL now requires GL_EXT_memory_object and GL_EXT_memory_object_win32
to support this use case, but it should function without it.

This allow to store the full object ID inside a `uint32`
buffer. This allows to get the per object data in deferred
passes and avoid to store object data inside the Gbuffer.
This data is only written if needed.
This had to modify the implementation of subpass input
for all backend to be able to bind layered texture.
This currently work because only the layer 0 is bound to the
framebuffer. This is fragile but I don't see a good builtin way
to fix it.

Cause by trying to deference a null batch.
In normal case, these calls never create a command
and are discarded early. 4.4 introduced the
polyline_draw_workaround to remove the use of geometry
shaders. These were not guarded against zero vertices
calls.
Adding an early out clause fixes the issue.

This was caused by the deinterleaved format being
incorrectly decoded by the `bind_attribute_as_ssbo`
function.
Accumulating the offset should be done for all attributes
and not only the one being used. Furthermore, this needs
to happen only once per attribute and not once per name.
Moving the offset computation out of the name loop
fixes the issue.

This PR refactors the way how swapchains are used.
Allow scaling of the swapchain content to the actual resolution of the swapchain.
can reduce artefacts when resizing windows when supported.
When frame rate is to fast the previous implementation could use a semaphore
that were still in use, leading to unwanted stuttering on certain platforms. Waiting
when the rendering has finished (GHOST_Frame.submission_fence), before the
next image is acquired from the swap chain.
Mailbox has been disabled as it can calculate more frames then actually been
presented, leading to a lag and increased power usage on others.
