EEVEE-Next performes less on integrated GPUs then discrete GPUs.
Most shaders have been analyzed, but there will always be bottlenecks
related to architectural differences.
In order to make EEVEE-Next run smooth on integrated GPUs this change
will implement viewport pixel size option similar to Cycles. The main difference
is that the samples will still be weighted and up-sampled to the final film
resolution. This makes the pixels not look squared in the viewport but will
resolve to something close to the results without up-scaling.
This improves the performance especially on integrated GPUs. The improvement
for discrete GPUs are less noticeable. See here the stats when playing
`rain_restaurant.blend` back on a RAPHAEL_MENDOCINO iGPU.
| Pixel size | Frames per second |
|------------|-------------------|
| 1x | 0.25 FPS |
| 2x | 4.14 FPS |
| 4x | 6.90 FPS |
| 8x | 9.95 FPS |

Added a null check for RE_GetRenderLayer() which could possibly return
null and then stored in `render_layer`, in order to prevent members of
`render_layer` being accessed in RE_pass_find_by_name(), and thus solved
the segmentation fault.

The shader compilation job assumes it can only be closed on program
exit, leaving all their materials as queued.
However, render tasks can kill it, causing drw_deferred_shader_add to
get stuck in an infinite loop.

This define all aliases for supported types,
document which one to use in C++ shared code,
move relevant defines to their backend file.
Rename `bool1` to `bool32_t` and cleanup
its usage as mentioned in #118961.

The `cache.curves_cache.proc_attributes_buf[i]` is independent of the subdivision level.
Therefore it's not freed when the subdivision level changes currently. However, the
check assumed that when no attribute was changed, the final subdivided buffer is
non-zero, which is not true when the subdivision level changed.
Now directly check whether the attribute is cached already.

"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.
These containers (Set, Vector, Map, Span), etc. have default constructors,
making the braces unnecessary for default initialization. Better to depend
on that consistently rather than having braces in some places and not others.
* Only works on machines with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 or above.
Older generation devices are not and will not be supported due to
some driver issues
* Requires VS2022 for building.
* Uses new MSVC preprocessor for sse2neon compatibility.
* SIMD is not enabled, waiting on conversion of blenlib to C++.

Use the original Light radius to compute the shadowmap projection.
Avoid unnecessary padding in shadowmaps, increasing the perceived
shadow resolution when the shadow softness is not 0.

The armature reported had two bones with a `bMotionPath` but its lengths
are zero (which causes trouble in `motion_path_cache` drawing code due
to 0 allocations).
Not exactly sure how we got there, something like
`animviz_verify_motionpaths` should take care of this already in current
code, but this might be from a time where there were not enough sanity
checks.
So now early out in `motion_path_cache` if we encounter such a
"corrupted" motion path.

Add percentage closer filtering to shadowmap sampling and a
`shadow_filter_radius` property to lights to control it.
Notes:
* This adds PCF to `eevee_shadow_tracing_lib`, but not to
`eevee_shadow_lib`, which is used by volumes (not required) and
thickness.
* PCF is computed based on the LOD0 size. This assumes that higher
LODs are only used when the shadowmap resolution is actually good
enough to match the render resolution.

Tiles tagged for update in eevee_shadow_tag_update_comp can be
untagged in eevee_shadow_tilemap_init_comp, since those tiles
might be tagged as rendered.
Regression from 9e015f703c
Currently, we don't support this. Depending on the geometry type, the rotations
are either displayed as black, magenta or there is a crash. Better disable this for
now until we have a proper implementation. It's not quite obvious how rotation
values should be converted to a color, so this also needs some design work.
