Group Object Type Visibility with the viewport settings in the header.
The eye icon is a placeholder. A new icon is needed to better communicate
the user at a glance if all (or none) object types are enabled, or why certain types
are not visible/selectable in the viewport.

When tweaking the shading/overlays settings through the popovers,
these get on the way of the content in the viewport. Making it hard to
see the result of our changes.
Unfortunately this breaks consistency with other headers where the snapping
tools are aligned to the right, but the benefits outweigh the costs.
Organize content in categories/sub-panels.
The result is a more organized but slightly taller popover.
Once sub-panels are implemented code-wise, the alignment issues
(like panel label) and extra space between the content and panels
headers will be reduced. Together with the ability to have certain
less-used popovers collapsed by default, this will make the
popover more compact.
Part of design: T55863
There are now 3 categories in the overlay popover:
- Navigation
- Active (camera, lamp... etc)
- Tool (manipulator)
The user preference for mini axis now controls if the mini axis
displays minimal or a full-interactive widget.
Part of design: T55863
This separate probe rendering from viewport rendering, making possible to
run the baking in another thread (non blocking and faster).
The baked lighting is saved in the blend file. Nothing needs to be
recomputed on load.
There is a few missing bits / bugs:
- Cache cannot be saved to disk as a separate file, it is saved in the DNA
for now making file larger and memory usage higher.
- Auto update only cubemaps does update the grids (bug).
- Probes cannot be updated individually (considered as dynamic).
- Light Cache cannot be (re)generated during render.
Instead of running code to create a keymap, store them as data.
This allows for keymaps to share content as well as running
transformations at load time.
Now we light with just a user defined HDRI by default, which is useful
for material setup and texture painting and lighting without having to
set up any scene lights.
Previously it would use the scene world without lights by default, which
in some files is just black.
Trying to have a single option for this is too likely to be
insufficient in some cases.
Instead, support object type visibility & selectability per view-port.
This makes it possible to have a single shading nodetree that contains
separate Cycles and Eevee shaders. By default the target is set to All
so shaders are shared.
This patch will allow users to customize what object types will be drawn by the object mode overlay.
It supports: Empties, Lamps, Cameras, Speakers, Armatures and Lightprobes.
It currently does not support Physics objects due to the overlap it has with other objects types.
Also be aware that in pose mode the armature is drawn, but not by the object mode overlay

Added a option to the overlay popover that controls the visibility of
non-renderable objects like lamps, cameras, speakers, armatures, curves
empties and force fields.
After discussion we went for a single option with more detailed check in
the object_mode draw engine.
