The File Output node produces wrong output when the output is set to BW.
This is because the image saving logic assumes float buffers always have
4 channels and ignores the image buffer channels member. So for single
channel images, the code weighted sum neighbouring pixels and asigned
them as a single pixel, producing bleeding at best and crashes at worst.
To fix this, we skip Color to BW conversion if the image is already BW.
And, we fix the functions that assume 4 channels for float buffers.

The issue seems to be caused with the recent NVidia drivers, which will
crash if OptiX context is created prior to the OpenGL context on Linux.
This happens with drivers 545.29.06, 550.54.14, 550.67 and kernel 6.8
on Ubuntu 24.04, and also happens with NVidia driver 550.67 on Gentoo.
While it does seem the issue is likely on the driver side, the timeline
for it being resolved there is unknown. Until then it is possible to
apply workaround on Blender side, which will initialize GPU context
prior to rendering with an external render engine when it is known the
GPU context will be needed later on.
Note this is not a complex fix, because in general it's still possible to
render a frame without and then with grease pencil, in which case OptiX
will still be initialized first. But we don't want to always initialize
OpenGL, and we can't predict future operations.

FILE_CACHE_MAX was meant to be larger than FILE_MAX to make room
for additional layers in the path. An error in the define used
`FILE_MAXFILE + FILE_MAXFILE` instead of `FILE_MAXDIR + FILE_MAXFILE`
causing the value to be smaller allowing a buffer overflow when passing
the string into BLI_path_abs.
Correct the define and call on the directory component before
the file is added so it doesn't clamp the string length unnecessarily.
Note that some values weren't correct since the original commit [0],
although [1] moved them to a shared incorrect define.

This patch refactors the backdrop offset to be stored as a float instead
of an int and to be stored in the image runtime structure instead of the
image itself.

This commit fixes the following assert:
mtl_command_buffer.mm:165, submit(), at 'MTLBackend::get()->is_inside_render_boundary()'
It happens when toggling rendered state of viewport on macOS, and is
caused by incorrect order of setting active GPU context to null and
calling GPU_render_end.
This change makes the flow of GPU_render_{beign, end} and GPU context
activation closer to what it is in the draw manager's functions
DRW_render_context_{enable, disable}.

This caused an ASan abort while looking into #101993.
From what I can tell, the issue is that when you click the render button on
the Render Layer node, RENDER_OT_render sets the callback. Then, when you
hit F12 later, it reuses the Render from before, including the callback,
but the corresponding handle has been freed already.
Now that all relevant code is C++, the indirection from the C struct
`GPUVertBuf` to the C++ `blender::gpu::VertBuf` class just adds
complexity and necessitates a wrapper API, making more cleanups like
use of RAII or other C++ types more difficult.
This commit replaces the C wrapper structs with direct use of the
vertex and index buffer base classes. In C++ we can choose which parts
of a class are private, so we don't risk exposing too many
implementation details here.

This is a regression since d579ac2b3f
Ensure that the image buffers used by render passes have metadata at the
end of render, similarly to how stamping happens. This solves the reported
issue, and makes the metadata behave consistently, independent on how the
image buffer is accessed.
Thanks Philipp Oeser for investigation and pin-pointing the bad commit!

"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.

This required to apply a small fix in the Metal texture uploader.
Without synchronization pixels of a wrong pass can be uploaded to
a wrong texture. This is because this code path is heavily reusing
temporary allocations, and at some point the allocation is not
considered as still in use, unless the command buffer used by the
texture uploader is submitted.

While at it, make other bMovieHandle functions use "bool" return type

The non-locking context activation expects the render engine to
have its own GPU contexts, which is not necessarily the case when
compositing happens from the command line.
Ensure that the contexts exist prior to attempt of activating them.

The GPU compositor does not take the border region into consideration,
which means it reads more than it should, leading to corruption. Fix
this by taking the border region into account when computing render
width and height.
It is not required to hold the lock of DST when performing
compositing on GPU, as the compositor implementation uses the
GPU module directly, bypassing the draw manager.
However, currently this is known to cause issues on macOS,
and is not yet tested on Windows.
On Linux it works correctly, and avoids lock while compositor
is running.
There could still be a small locking hiccup, when the GPU
context is created and disposed. This needs to be looked
into.

The `object_to_world` and `world_to_object` matrices are set during
depsgraph evaluation, calculated from the object's animated location,
rotation, scale, parenting, and constraints. It's confusing and
unnecessary to store them with the original data in DNA.
This commit moves them to `ObjectRuntime` and moves the matrices to
use the C++ `float4x4` type, giving the potential for simplified code
using the C++ abstractions. The matrices are accessible with functions
on `Object` directly since they are used so commonly. Though for write
access, directly using the runtime struct is necessary.
The inverse `world_to_object` matrix is often calculated before it's
used, even though it's calculated as part of depsgraph evaluation.
Long term we might not want to store this in `ObjectRuntime` at all,
and just calculate it on demand. Or at least we should remove the
redundant calculations. That should be done separately though.

The tiled compositor code is mainly still around, which is only
expected to be a short-lived period. Eventually it will also be
removed.
The OpenCL, Group Buffers, and Chunk size options are already removed.

Visually it is the same as the execution time implemented for the
geometry nodes, and it is to be enabled in the overlay popover.
The implementation is separate from the geometry nodes, as it is
not easy or practical to re-use the geometry nodes implementation.
The execution time is stored in a run-time hash, indexed by a node
instance key. This is similar to the storage of the mode preview
images, but is stored on the scene runtime data and not on the node
tree. Indexing the storage by key allows to easily copy execution
statistics from localized tree to its original version.
The time is only implemented for full-frame compositor, as for the
tiled compositor it could be tricky to calculate reliable time for
pixel processing nodes which process one pixel at a time.

Part of overall "improve image filtering situation" (#116980), this PR addresses
two issues:
- Bilinear (default) image filtering makes half a source pixel wide transparent
border around the image. This is very noticeable when scaling images/movies up
in VSE. However, when there is no scaling up but you have slightly rotated
image, this creates a "somewhat nice" anti-aliasing around the edge.
- The other filtering kinds (e.g. cubic) do not have this behavior. So they do
not create unexpected transparency when scaling up (yay), however for slightly
rotated images the edge is "jagged" (oh no).
More detail and images in PR.

This would still overwrite (even though frames existed).
Mistake in 6b9a500a3a.
char "filepath" was already in use/shadowed, instead use "filepath_view" to
correctly glue path/suffix together (as done already a bit below for the
R_TOUCH case).
