Removes old unused bind state parameters from
prior to the addition of explicit resource location support.
Patch also ensures compute state is reset between each
encoder and adds a debug option to dispatch each
compute command within its own encoder for debugging
synchronization issues.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.

Also remove some redundant informations in

This patch improves how debug groups are displayed
within captures. Passes are now split to align with
debug groups, such that navigation of captures is
more intuitive.
To closer represent useful information, debug groups are now
deferred to align with passes, with the addition of Macros to
control capture display options.
METAL_DEBUG_CAPTURE_MAX_NESTED_GROUPS limits debug
group nesting, and METAL_DEBUG_CAPTURE_HIDE_EMPTY allows
hiding of debug groups which do not contain any commands.

Previously, each GHOST Context instantiated its own Metal device
queue. Commands are only synchronized within a queue, this was the
root cause of a number of flickering issues which had previously
been worked-around with synchronization primitives.
New solution uses a shared queue to simplify dependencies and
alleviate possibility of stalls and bugs when resources are modified
or shared across separate GPU command queues.

Resolve an issue where a high resolution texutre 16k x 8k

This patch adds support for compilation and execution of GLSL compute shaders. This, along with a few systematic changes and fixes, enable realtime compositor functionality with the Metal backend on macOS. A number of GLSL source modifications have been made to add the required level of type explicitness, allowing all compilations to succeed.
GLSL Compute shader compilation follows a similar path to Vertex/Fragment translation, with added support for shader atomics, shared memory blocks and barriers.
Texture flags have also been updated to ensure correct read/write specification for textures used within the compositor pipeline. GPU command submission changes have also been made in the high level path, when Metal is used, to address command buffer time-outs caused by certain expensive compute shaders.

Improve handling for cases where maximum in-flight command buffer count is exceeded. This can occur during light-baking operations. Ensures the application handles this gracefully and also improves workload pipelining by situationally stalling until GPU work has completed, if too much work is queued up.
This may have a tangible benefit for T103742 by ensuring Blender does not queue up too much GPU work.

Fix a number of small memory leaks in the Metal backend. Unreleased blit
shader objects and temporary textures addressed. Static memory manager
modified to defer creation until use. Added reference count tracker to
shared memory manager across contexts, such that cached memory allocations
will be released if all contexts are destroyed and re-initialized.

MTLContext provides functionality for command encoding, binding management and graphics device management. MTLImmediate provides simple draw enablement with dynamically encoded data. These draws utilise temporary scratch buffer memory to provide minimal bandwidth overhead during workload submission.
This patch also contains empty placeholders for MTLBatch and MTLDrawList to enable testing of first pixels on-screen without failure.
The Metal API also requires access to the GHOST_Context to ensure the same pre-initialized Metal GPU device is used by the viewport. Given the explicit nature of Metal, explicit control is also needed over presentation, to ensure correct work scheduling and rendering pipeline state.

When a query begins, the current visibility result buffer needs to be
associated with the currently active Render Pass. The MTLContext and

The memory manager includes both a GPUContext-local manager which allocates per-context resources such as Circular Scratch Buffers for temporary data such as uniform updates and resource staging, and a GPUContext-global memory manager which features a pooled memory allocator for efficient re-use of resources, to reduce CPU-overhead of frequent memory allocations.
These Memory Managers act as a simple interface for use by other Metal backend modules and to coordinate the lifetime of buffers, to ensure that GPU-resident resources are correctly tracked and freed when no longer in use.

MTLFrameBuffer has been implemented to support creation of RenderCommandEncoders, along with supporting functionality in the Metal Context.
Optimisation stubs for GPU_framebuffer_bind_ext has been added, which enables specific assignment of attachment load-store ops at the bind level, rather than on a framebuffer object as a whole.
Begin and end frame markers are used to encapsulate frame boundaries for explicit workload submission. This is required for explicit APIs where implicit flushing of work does not occur.
