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).

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.
Testing with the same setup as #145347:
| | main (ms) | PR (ms) | Delta (ms) |
| -------- | ----------- | ------------ |------------ |
| Nvidia | 257 | 207 (1.24x) | 50 |
| Mesa AMD | 323 | 295 (1.09x) | 28 |
In barbershop test scene however the saving are not so noticeable:
| | main (s) | PR (s) | Delta (s) |
| -------- | ----------- | ------------ |------------ |
| Nvidia (OpenGL) | 40 | 39 (1.02x) | 1 |
| Nvidia (Vulkan) | 29 | 29 (1.0x) | 0 |

Implementation of the design task #142969.
This adds the following:
- Exact GPU interpolation of curves of all types.
- Radius attribute support.
- Cyclic curve support.
- Resolution attribute support.
- New Cylinder hair shape type.
What changed:
- EEVEE doesn't compute random normals for strand hairs anymore. These are considered legacy now.
- EEVEE now have an internal shadow bias to avoid self shadowing on hair.
- Workbench Curves Strip display option is no longer flat and has better shading.
- Legacy Hair particle system evaluates radius at control points before applying additional subdivision. This now matches Cycles.
- Color Attribute Node without a name do not fetch the active color attribute anymore. This now matches Cycles.
Notes:
- This is not 100% matching the CPU implementation for interpolation (see the epsilons in the tests).
- Legacy Hair Particle points is now stored in local space after interpolation.
The new cylinder shape allows for more correct hair shading in workbench and better intersection in EEVEE.

Follow Up Tasks:
- Correct full tube segments orientation based on tangent and normal attributes
- Correct V resolution property per object
- More attribute type support (currently only color)

This unify the C++ and GLSL codebase style.
The GLSL types are still in the backend compatibility
layers to support python shaders. However, the C++
shader compilation layer doesn't have them to enforce
correct type usage.
Note that this is going to break pretty much all PRs
in flight that targets shader code.

They are actually already some literals with the `f` suffix
that are in our shader codebase and we never had problem in
the past 5 years (or even 8 years).
So I think it is safe to do and improves convergence of codestyles.
