Workbench shaders uses one fragment shaders, but uses different
resources based on the step of the effect. This failed in vulkan as all
defined resources should be found. This PR separates the steps in its
own fragment shader and adds sampler binding per step.
- Removed the max coc input texture as it wasn't used.
- Removed the background texture as it wasn't used.
- Renumbered the resources.

Continuation of #131332.
Including built-in headers in VS2019 ends up including `corecrt_math.h`
as a side effect, which has many functions that overlap in name with
our stubs.
This puts the conflicting functions inside its own namespace (`glsl`)
and declares macros for them.
(Note this has the side effect of not allowing us to use those as
variable names)
This also removes the `<cassert>` and `<cstdio>` includes.

Move most of the string preprocessing used for MSL
compatibility to `glsl_preprocess`.
Enforce some changes like matrix constructor and
array constructor to the GLSL codebase. This is
for C++ compatibility.
Additionally reduce the amount of code duplication
inside the compatibility code.

This changes the include directive to use the standard C preprocessor
`#include` directive.
The regex to applied to all glsl sources is:
`pragma BLENDER_REQUIRE\((\w+\.glsl)\)`
`include "$1"`
This allow C++ linter to parse the code and allow easier codebase
traversal.
However there is a small catch. While it does work like a standard
include directive when the code is treated as C++, it doesn't when
compiled by our shader backends. In this case, we still use our
dependency concatenation approach instead of file injection.
This means that included files will always be prepended when compiled
to GLSL and a file cannot be appended more than once.
This is why all GLSL lib file should have the `#pragma once` directive
and always be included at the start of the file.
These requirements are actually already enforced by our code-style
in practice.
On the implementation, the source needed to be mutated to comment
the `#pragma once` and `#include`. This is needed to avoid GLSL
compiler error out as this is an extension that not all vendor
supports.

Workbench doesn't fill all texture slots. In OpenGL it should match what
the shader is using, where some texture slots that have been defined can
be optimized away when not used. The Vulkan backend however uses all the
resources that has been defined in the shader create info.
When using a texture shader in workbench the shader would raise a
validation warning as there are slots defined that are never uploaded.
This PR fixes this by always set dummy textures in those slots.

This PR introduces the concept of primitive expansion draws.
This allows to create a drawcall that will generate N amount of new
primitive for an original primitive in a `gpu::Batch`. The intent is to
phase out the use of geometry shader for this purpose.
This adds a new `Frequency::GEOMETRY` only available for SSBOs.
The resources using this will be fed the current `gpu::Batch` VBOs
using name matching.
A dedicated slot is reserved for the index buffer, which has its own
internal lib to decode the index buffer content.
A new attribute lib is added to ease the loading of unaligned attribute.
This should be revisited and made obsolete once more refactor
lands.
It is similar to the Metal backend SSBO vertex fetch path but it is
defined on a different level. The main difference is that this PR is
backend independant and modify the draw module instead of the GPU
module. However, it doesn't cover all possible attribute conversion
cases. This will only be added if needed.
This system is less automatic than the Metal backend one and needs
more care to make sure the data matches what the shader expects.
The Metal system will be removed once all its usage have been
converted.
This PR only shows example usage for workbench shadows. Cleanup PRs
will follow this one.

"Own" (the adjective) cannot be used on its own. It should be combined
with something like "its own", "our own", "her own", or "the object's own".
It also isn't used separately to mean something like "separate".
Also, "its own" is correct instead of "it's own" which is a misues of the verb.
OpenGL uses a depth range between -1 and 1, which is then normalized.
Metal & Vulkan uses a depth range between 0 and 1, which is already normalized.
The final plan would be to default to a depth range between 0 and 1, but
for now the depth ranges are retargetted so they won't be clipped away.
This solves the next issues for users:
- Navigate control will be rendered correctly
- Ortographic view clipping artifacts
- EEVEE light evaluation
Retargetting happens at the end of the vertex stage or when a geometry
stage is present at the end of the geometry stage. Derivatives using
depth would have a different value compared to OpenGL, but would match
Metal backend. OpenGL performs clipping and generates derivatives based
on the original depth value.
`gl_FragCoord` and clipping would have some precision differences as clipping
and normalizing are done in a different order but would match Metal.
Geometry shaders should use `gpu_EmitVertex` to ensure that the retargetting
is done per vertex.

With the shift to GPU-driven rendering pipeline,
the SSBO vertex fetch paradigm used to
implement workbench shadows on Metal
instead of utilising the geometry shader
path no longer worked correctly.
This is because the draw submission
required vertex amplification up-front,
based on the expected output geometry
amount for a given input geometry.
This patch aims to resolve this
issue through addition of API to
enable the features within the
GPU driven pipeline.

Optimize Workbench performance so it's on par with the previous
implementation.
Most of these changes are barely noticeable on powerful GPUs,
but can cause a notable performance improvement on old or low-end
hardware.
* Avoid unnecessary texture copies and draw directly to the viewport
textures.
* Optimize-out depth/stencil reads, using stencil testing instead.
* Avoid using `Texture::clear` and use framebuffer clears instead.
* Avoid framebuffer state changes (always use the same attachments).
* Avoid constant variation of acquired `TextureFromPool`s.
