For wide line rendering it is preferred to use polyline shaders. However
creating a custom shader is complicated and a stone to far for many
scriptors.
This PR allows using line_width_set when wide line rendering is
supported by the platform.

This is the first step of moving the create infos
back inside shader sources.
All info files are now treated as source files.
However, they are not considered in the include tree
yet. This will come in another following PR.
Each shader source file now generate a `.info` file
containing only the create info declarations.
This renames all info files so that they do not
conflict with their previous versions that were
copied (non-generated).

This allows to share the parsed structure between each
preprocessing step if no mutation occurs.
Also remove `matrix_constructor_linting` as this is
now enforced by the C++ compilation. Same thing for
`array_constructor_linting`.

This patch reorders the inputs of some of the compositor nodes
accordingly to their importance. The importance is already quantified
internally using the domain priority of the input, so we needn't make
any subjective judgement and just order by the priority.
This breaks forward and backward compatibility if input indices were
used as opposed to input identifiers due to the different order.
Handling compatibility is not impossible, but is difficult, and it was
already ignored in many past node changes.

Due to an incorrect assumption float buffers were converted to sRGB
values when uploading to an sRGBA8 texture. This is done when rendering
flames in workbench and resulted in to bright renders.
This PR removes sRGB encoding when uploading float values to sRGBA8 textures.

Before the render graph was introduced we relied on a submission
resource tracker that allowed to resuse resources in the next frame.
With the introduction of the render graph we slowly migrated the
resource tracking to the render graph and eventually also moved the
whole discard pools to the submission runner.
There was still one part that 'used' the legacy resource tracker, but
actually didn't as it never reused resources. This PR removes the
resource tracker and migrate the push constants to use the render graph
to update a single buffer per shader.

On its own, the main functionality of the Radial Tiling node
is the ability to divide a 2D Cartesian coordinate system into
as many radial segments as specified by the "Segments" input.
Each segment has its own affinely transformed coordinate system,
provided through the "Segment Coordinates" output, which can be
used to tile textures in a radially symmetric manner.
Additionally, a unique index is provided for every segment through
the "Segment ID" output, the width of each segment at Y-coordinate
of the "Segment Coordinates" output without normalization = 0 is
provided through the "Segment Width" output and the rotation value
of the affine transformation of the coordinate system of each segment
is provided through the "Segment Rotation" output.
The roundness of the coordinate lines of the "Segment Coordinates"
output can be controlled through the "Roundness" inputs.
This can be used to make the coordinate systems of the segments
a mix of Cartesian and polar coordinates.
Lastly, the lines of points of the "Segment Coordinates" output with
constant Y-coordinates have the shape of polygon with rounded corners,
which can be used to procedurally create rounded polygons.

This simplifies the GBuffer packing code in a lot
of common use cases. This improves compilation
speed.
The trivial case is either a single closure (already handled)
or 2 closures with no second data layer.
We detect if reflection and refractions can
be assumed colorless depending on the nodetree config.
Colorless reflection or refraction are only using one
data layer.

A compiler/driver bug makes so that we can't rely on image atomics.
Adding a write that is never executed after the atomics tricks
the compiler to issue the correct synchronisation instruction.
This fixes a bunch of our render tests differences.
We will keep this workaround until this is fixed upstream.

This allows to reduce the number of includes for each
tree graph (surface, volume, displacement) and
reduce the code size significantly for most vertex
shaders, speeding up compile time.

These are causing quite a big difference in existing files, which is not
easy to address in versioning. Since the goal of removing this was to
simplify things for us and that's not the case, just revert this change.

This removes unused closure branches in the principled BSDF
code using the Material flags.
On top of this, use constants for weights to use compiler
dead code eliminitation for unused branches when there
is different variants of the principled BSDF node used.
Finally, remove Gbuffer packing cases that are not present
inside the nodetree.
Testing with the same setup as #145347:

Barbershop compilation time is almost equal because it is not using
the principled BSDF.

This mode is based on the same athmospheric model as the previous one, but now
also accounts for multiple scattering and reflections from the ground.
This increases the accuracy, especially at low elevations.
Also renames some options for consistency:
- The previous "Nishita" model is now "Single Scattering"
- "Dust" is now "Aerosols"
- Default altitude is now 100m.

Dependencies were previously merged manually
inside the generated_sources by EEVEE.
This caused issues with double includes.
Instead, we now only gather the name of the
nodetree dependencies and add them to the
dependencies of the `GeneratedSource`.
This also make the compositor use the `GeneratedSource`
mechanism.

The goal of this patch is to reduce final shader code footprint to
hopefully reduce shader compile time (see #145347).
This also contains a pass over most shader file to remove unused
include or use more granular ones to reduce final shader code
length.

Pixel buffers will be imported by Cycles in Cuda/OneAPI/HIP
when supported. However the priority and export field is not filled correctly,
resulting in that the priority is always 1 and the buffer is never exported.
Should be backported to 4.5 as Cycles GPU interop isn't working
when using Vulkan.

It is usually nice to unroll loops with a different number of
iteration based on a macro. This commit adds this functionality
to our shader preprocessor so that we don't have to manually unroll
these loops.

`GHOST_SwapWindowBuffers` doesn't fit well when using swapchains. In
that case an approach where swap chain images are acquired and released
would map better. This PR introduces `GHOST_SwapWindowBufferAcquire`
and `GHOST_SwapWindowBufferRelease` to be more in line with vulkan swap
chains.
Previous implementation would first record all GPU commands based on
the last used swap chain. In case a swapchain needed to be recreated
(window resize, move to other monitor) the recorded commands would
not match the swap chain and could lead to artifacts.
OpenGL only implements the release functions as they don't
have a mechanism to acquire a swap chain image. (Need to validate with
the Metal API how this is working and adapt is needed).
Currently when starting blender on a HDR capable display the first frame
would be based on an sRGB surface and presented on an extended RGB
(or other) surface. As these don't match the first frame could be incorrect and
also lead to UBs as another surface is expected.

These lines can be removed to avoid parsing them.
This allow to keep the same processing for shared host files.
Also removes a few lines of code to reduce the size of
shader sources.
This also contains a rewrite of the include parsing using

This adds a function that can turn an existing `bNodeTree` into an inlined one.
The new node tree has all node groups, repeat zones, closures and bundles
inlined. So it's just a flat tree that ideally can be consumed easily by render
engines. As part of the process, it also does constant folding.
The goal is to support more advanced features from geometry nodes (repeat zones,
etc.) in shader nodes which the evaluator is more limited because it has to be
able to run on the GPU. Creating an inlined `bNodeTree` is likely the most
direct way to get but may also be limiting in the future. Since this is a fairly
local change, it's likely still worth it to support these features in all render
engines without having to make their evaluators significantly more complex.
Some limitations apply here that do not apply in Geometry Nodes. For example,
the iterations count in a repeat zone has to be a constant after constant
folding.
There is also a `Test Inlining Shader Nodes` operator that creates the inlined
tree and creates a group node for it. This is just for testing purposes.
#145811 will make this functionality available to the Python API as well so that
external renderers can use it too.
This avoid using the workaround on known working drivers.
Detected when investigating shader compilation performance.
These new drivers where forced to not use threaded compilation.
Candidate for backport to 4.5 LTS.
