Adjust the width, dash length and amount of anti-aliasing of node links
so they look the same independent of the UI scaling.
Adding another parameter to the shader exceeded the limit of 16
attributes. Therefore the parameters to describe the dashes (length,
factor, alpha) are passed in together as a vector.

Batches don't always provide all required resources for a shader.
This can happen when the resource is defined in the shader, but
not used in a specific variant. The definition is still there and
needs to be filled.
This PR adds a dummy buffer to fill the missing attributes.
It also fixes an issue when using vertex attributes that
uses multiple binding locations (mat4).

Depending on the usage of an image/image view different image aspect
requirements need to be used. When changing the layout of an image
all aspects needs to be included. When using it as a sampler or
framebuffer attachment only one aspect can be used.
This change also remove duplicated code when creating image views.

Fixes NaN in Vector Displacement node caused by the normalization of
0, 0, 0 vectors.
This fixes both visual rendering issues and an "illegal address" error
on the GPU. The "illegal address" error came from the Light Tree
Sampling code not handling the NaN normals well, leading to weird code
paths being taken, eventually leading to a kernel_assert and a
user facing illegal address error.

Add optional argument `STRIP_LEADING_C_COMMENTS` to CMake macros:
data_to_c_simple & data_to_c.
Strip leading C-style comments that don't bloat binary size.
Comments are replaced with blank lines so line numbers in error messages
match. Reduces Blender's binary size by ~70kb.
Implements the paper [A Microfacet-based Hair Scattering
Model](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/cgf.14588) by
Weizhen Huang, Matthias B. Hullin and Johannes Hanika.
### Features:
- This is a far-field model, as opposed to the previous near-field
Principled Hair BSDF model. The hair is expected to be less noisy, but
lower roughness values takes longer to render due to numerical
integration along the hair width. The hair also appears to be flat when
viewed up-close.
- The longitudinal width of the scattering lobe differs along the
azimuth, providing a higher contrast compared to the evenly spread
scattering in the near-field Principled Hair BSDF model. For a more
detailed comparison, please refer to the original paper.
- Supports elliptical cross-sections, adding more realism as human hairs
are usually elliptical. The orientation of the cross-section is aligned
with the curve normal, which can be adjusted using geometry nodes.
Default is minimal twist. During sampling, light rays that hit outside
the hair width will continue propogating as if the material is
transparent.
- There is non-physical modulation factors for the first three
lobes (Reflection, Transmission, Secondary Reflection).
### Missing:
- A good default for cross-section orientation. There was an
attempt (9039f76928) to default the orientation to align with the curve
normal in the mathematical sense, but the stability (when animated) is
unclear and it would be a hassle to generalise to all curve types. After
the model is in main, we could experiment with the geometry nodes team
to see what works the best as a default.

Now that all shaders have been converted to be Vulkan Compatible it is
safe to test for incompatibility when running in OpenGL or MTL.
This detection is only done when blender is compiled in debug mode.
Splitting interface stages based on the interpolation of its
attributes.
Then naming convention that have been used:
* use `interp` as instance name when using smooth interpolation
* use `interp_noperspective` when using no perpective interpolation
* use `interp_flat` when using flat interpolation
The same suffix will be added to the struct names.
The naming convention will be added to the GLSL code style and
applied to other shaders as well.

shaderc generates an error when a struct containing an int type
isn't qualified as flat. We work around this issue by changing the
interpolation mode to flat during code generation.

This PR cleans up the Stage Interface code generation and use the
correct interpolation qualifier. This is a cleanup/fix before we can
start converting shaders stage interfaces to be compatible with vulkan.
Ref: #111138 for more information about vulkan compatibility
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111207
A difference was detected between stage interfaces between OpenGL and Vulkan
that are not compatible with our current API.
**OpenGL**
In OpenGL an stage interface struct can have different interpolation qualifiers
per attribute.
```glsl
struct MyStageInterface {
smooth vec4 color;
flat int face_flag;
};
layout(..) MyStageInterface interp;
```
**Vulkan**
In vulkan the interpolation qualifier isn't supported on attribute
level and needs to be added to the struct.
```glsl
struct MyStageInterface {
vec4 color;
};
struct MyStageInterface_flat {
int face_flag;
};
layout(..) smooth MyStageInterface interp;
layout(..) flat MyStageInterface_flat interp_flat;
```
This patch reports shaders that are incompatible with Vulkan so they can be
patched. Report is only done in debug mode and when using the vulkan backend.
After all shaders are patched an error will be raised so developers will
known immediately when incompatibility are created.
Making the shaders compatible and adding the error will be done in future
patches.
**Python**
Via Python gpu module (gpu.types.GPUShaderCreateInfo) it isn't possible
to construct an incompatible shader as instance names cannot be set
via the API. So this isn't a breaking change.

This PR fixes an compilation error where sstream used to be included
on a higher level, but has been removed and we need to include them
where they are actually used.

Including <iostream> or similar headers is quite expensive, since it
also pulls in things like <locale> and so on. In many BLI headers,
iostreams are only used to implement some sort of "debug print",
or an operator<< for ostream.
Change some of the commonly used places to instead include <iosfwd>,
which is the standard way of forward-declaring iostreams related
classes, and move the actual debug-print / operator<< implementations
into .cc files.
This is not done for templated classes though (it would be possible
to provide explicit operator<< instantiations somewhere in the
source file, but that would lead to hard-to-figure-out linker error
whenever someone would add a different template type). There, where
possible, I changed from full <iostream> include to only the needed
<ostream> part.
For Span<T>, I just removed print_as_lines since it's not used by
anything. It could be moved into a .cc file using a similar approach
as above if needed.
Doing full blender build changes include counts this way:
- <iostream> 1986 -> 978
- <sstream> 2880 -> 925
It does not affect the total build time much though, mostly because
towards the end of it there's just several CPU cores finishing
compiling OpenVDB related source files.

This PR adds the Lacunarity and Normalize inputs to the Noise node
similar to the Voronoi node.
The Lacunarity input controls the scale factor by which each
successive Perlin noise octave is scaled. Which was previously hard
coded to a factor of 2.
The Noise node normalizes its output to the [0, 1] range by default.
The Normalize option makes it possible for the user to disable that.
To keep the behavior consistent with past versions it is enabled by
default.
To make the aforementioned normalization control easer to implement,
the fractal noise code now accumulates signed noise and remaps the
final sum, as opposed to accumulating positive [0, 1] noise.

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.

With the introduction of metal and vulkan we use a different
GPU backend selection which broke the dialog box for unsupported
platforms.
Blender asserted and segfaulted before the dialog was being shown
to the user.
This patch solves this by introducing a dummy GPU backend in case no
GPU backend was supported by OpenGL, Metal and Vulkan Backend.
It also adds the showMessageBox to GHOST_SystemCocoa.

This simple function just performed a null check and an array lookup.
Just writing it in the few places its used works fine too, and avoiding
the function call per triangle can improve and make the check clearer.
Also, avoiding the abstraction makes the "node fully visible" check
when building the PBVH more obvious; that has been refactored here.

Using ClangBuildAnalyzer on the whole Blender build, it was pointing
out that BLI_math.h is the heaviest "header hub" (i.e. non tiny file
that is included a lot).
However, there's very little (actually zero) source files in Blender
that need "all the math" (base, colors, vectors, matrices,
quaternions, intersection, interpolation, statistics, solvers and
time). A common use case is source files needing just vectors, or
just vectors & matrices, or just colors etc. Actually, 181 files
were including the whole math thing without needing it at all.
This change removes BLI_math.h completely, and instead in all the
places that need it, includes BLI_math_vector.h or BLI_math_color.h
and so on.
Change from that:
- BLI_math_color.h was included 1399 times -> now 408 (took 114.0sec
to parse -> now 36.3sec)
- BLI_simd.h 1403 -> 418 (109.7sec -> 34.9sec).
Full rebuild of Blender (Apple M1, Xcode, RelWithDebInfo) is not
affected much (342sec -> 334sec). Most of benefit would be when
someone's changing BLI_simd.h or BLI_math_color.h or similar files,
that now there's 3x fewer files result in a recompile.

Add a High Dynamic Range option in the Color Management > Display panel.
This enables display of extended color ranges above 1.0 for the 3D
viewport, image editor and render previews.
This requires a monitor that can display HDR colors, and a view
transform designed for HDR output. The Standard view transform works,
but Filmic does not as it was designed to bring values into the 0..1
range for SDR displays.
This patch is limited to allowing the display to visualize extended
colors, but does not include future looking work to better integrate HDR
into the full workflow.
It is implemented by rendering to high bit-depth texture formats for
the user interface, and uncapping the color range in color management.

This add the possibility to define different
viewports inside a single framebuffer and
let the vertex shader decide which viewport
to render to.
This only contain the GL and VK implementation.
The Vulkan implementation works but still
has a validation error related to shader features
and extension. The test passes nonetheless.

Both the `Math` node and the `Vector Math` currently only explicitly
support modulo using truncated division which is oftentimes not the
type of modulo desired as it behaves differently for negative numbers
and positive numbers.
Floored Modulo can be created by either using the `Wrap` operation or
a combination of multiple `Math` nodes. However both methods obfuscate
the actual intend of the artist and the math operation that is actually
used.
This patch adds modulo using floored division to the scalar `Math` node,
explicitly stating the intended math operation and renames the already
existing `"Modulo"` operation to `"Truncated Modulo"` to avoid confusion.
Only the ui name is changed, so this should not break compatibility.
