FBOs are a GL 3.0 feature but enjoy nearly universal support via
extensions.
The newer ARB extension brings these features to GL 2.1 without needing
an ARB suffix.
The older EXT extensions *do* use a suffix. Since we don’t know which
is used until runtime, I added the suffix to all functions & enums.
Also updated the check to look for the FBO feature set instead of the
specific EXT extension.
Maybe this is pedantic but I read it’s best to explicitly set the
desired component size.
Also append “_ARB” to float texture formats since those need an
extension in GL 2.1.
This class did nothing but print out extensions if they were found.
Instead, the code from bge.logic.PrintGLInfo() is now printed as the
Rasterizer is initialized. This gives better information, and it removes
some GL code from KX_PythonInit.cpp (the PrintGLInfo method now calls
the Rasterizer to print the information).

The only use we had for RAS_StorageIM was to render derived meshes using
Blender's mesh drawing. This is now handled as a special case in
RAS_OpenGLRasterizer instead of in RAS_StorageIM.
We are now left with RAS_StorageVA and RAS_StorageVBO. At the moment
vertex arrays are still the default since our vertex array with display
lists implementation is still much faster than our VBO code in a lot of
cases. As we improve our VBO code, we can drop vertex arrays since
Blender's minimum OpenGL version is being bumped up to 2.1, which
supports VBOs.
Is current context compatible with legacy GL (version 2.1)?
My earlier approach -- checking for GLEW_ARB_compatibility -- was not
enough.
This should always return true if we set our GL context up properly. It
will return false when we switch to core profile.
Would be true in most cases (and in particular with own generated geometry),
but in case one would be using original geometry this could have crashed badly.
Note that I tried to parallelize the loops porting result of the simulation to the
DM data itself, but that ended up being 20% slower than non-threaded code!
Compared to previous revision, this gives 20% speedup on the whole modifier evaluation!
Wondering a bit how improvement can be so impressive here, would have expected very
small increases given how simple is the code here... Maybe it's the fact we get rid
of many additional OMP threads (tests are done with ten Ocean mod evaluated in parallel)?
`bmo_create_grid_exec` was not tagging created vertices with `MARK_VERT`, which seems
mandatory to get them selected? This sounds a bit hacky/odd to me, but that's what
all other primitive funcs do...
Adds default-generated UVs to mesh primitives (cone, cylinder, icosphere, uvsphere, cube, circle, grid)
when they are added to the scene, since some of them can be pretty awkward to unwrap manually.

Nodes have a feature for moving existing links to unoccupied sockets when connecting
to an already used input. This is based on the standard legacy socket types (value/float,
vector, color/rgba) and works reasonably well for shader, compositor and texture nodes.
For new pynode systems, however, the hardcoded nature of that feature has major drawbacks:
* It does not take different type systems into account, leading to meaningless connections
when sockets are swapped and making the feature useless or outright debilitating.
* Advanced socket behaviors would be possible with a registerable callback, e.g. creating
extensible input lists that move existing connections down to make room for a new link.
Now any handling of new links is done via the 'insert_links' callback, which can also be
registered through the RNA API. For the legacy shader/compo/tex nodes the behavior is the
same, using a C callback.
Note on the 'use_swap' flag: this has been removed because it was meaningless anyway:
It was disabled only for the insert-node-on-link feature, which works only for
completely unconnected nodes anyway, so there would be nothing to swap in the first place.
