OpenGL based render engines.

When using link duplicated objects it could happen that one object is
calculating the GPUBuffers and the second object is marking these
buffers invalid. This introduces threading issues.
This patch fixes this by combining the surface and surface per material
batches. Most likely the surface per material batches are used and when
requested you will most likely need the surface batch for the depth
tests and overlays.
During tests it slightly improves performance as batches aren't thrown
away without using it.
After this patch we can add a quick path for meshes with one material
and two materials.
Alternative approaches that have been checked:
- sync extraction per object: reduced performance to much (-15%)
({D8292})
- post checks: reduced the threading issues, but didn't solve it.
- separating preparation and execution of the extraction ({D8312})

Also includes outline overlays. Removes the temp overlay drawing
We make the geometry follow camera like billboards this uses less
geometry. Currently we use half octahedron for now. Goal would be
to use icospheres.
This patch also optimize the case when pointcloud has uniform radius.
However we should premultiply the radius prop by the default radius
beforehand to avoid a multiplication on CPU.
Using geometry instead of pseudo raytraced spheres is more scalable as
we can render as low as 1 or 2 triangle to a full half sphere and can
integrate easily in the render pipeline using a low amount of code.

The vertex colors node was using the M_COL attribute type but Sculpt
Vertex Colors use CD_PROP_COLOR
Now the Vertex Color node also fallbacks to legacy vertex colors if
Scultp Vertex Colors are not enabled as experimental.

When the view isn't updated the renderpass thought that it was rendering
the next sample, skipping the conversion from encoded to blender
normals.
This patch resets the current sample when only rendering single sample
layers.

Sculpt vertex colors changed the `DRW_MeshCDMask` from 4 bytes to 8 bytes, but
the functions assumed it still was 4 bytes. This patch updates the functions and
adds a compile time check.

Loop over faces and calculate their centers instead of zeroing the
face center array and accumulating all faces vertex corners.
Move subsurf face center extraction into it's own loop since it works
differently.
This disables all Sculpt Vertex Colors tools, operators, panels and rendering capabilities and puts them under the "Use Sculpt Vertex Colors" experimental option.

For historical reasons, `DupliObject::persistent_id` was of size
`2*MAX_DUPLI_RECUR`. These reasons are now gone, and the persistent ID
always gets exactly one array element for every dupli-recursion.
