This adds object motion blur vectors for EEVEE as well as better noise
reduction for it.
For TAA reprojection we just compute the motion vector on the fly based on
camera motion and depth buffer. This makes possible to store another motion
vector only for the blurring which is not useful for TAA history fetching.
Motion Data is saved per object & per geometry if using deformation blur.
We support deformation motion blur by saving previous VBO and modifying the
actual GPUBatch for the geometry to include theses VBOs.
We store Previous and Next frame motion in the same motion vector buffer
(RG for prev and BA for next). This makes non linear motion blur (like
rotating objects) less prone to outward/inward blur.
We also improve the motion blur post process to expand outside the objects
border. We use a tile base approach and the max size of the blur is set via
a new render setting.
We use a background reconstruction method that needs another setting
(Background Separation).
Sampling is done using a fixed 8 dithered samples per direction. The final
render samples will clear the noise like other stochastic effects.
One caveat is that hair particles are not yet supported. Support will
come in another patch.

These are the modifications:
-With DRW modification we reduce the number of passes we need to populate.
-Rename passes for consistent naming.
-Reduce complexity in code compilation
-Cleanup how renderpass accumulation passes are setup, using pass instances.
-Make sculpt mode compatible with shadows
-Make hair passes compatible with SSS
-Error shader and lookdev materials now use standalone materials.
-Support default shader (world and material) using a default nodetree internally.
-Change BLEND_CLIP to be emulated by gpu nodetree. Making less shader variations.
-Use BLI_memblock for cache memory allocation.
-Renderpasses are handled by switching a UBO ref bind.
One major hack in this patch is the use of modified pointer as ghash keys.
This rely on the assumption that the keys will never overlap because the
number of options per key will never be bigger than the pointed struct.
The use of one single nodetree to support default material is also a bit hacky
since it won't support concurent usage of this nodetree.
(see EEVEE_shader_default_surface_nodetree)
Another change is that objects with shader errors now appear solid magenta instead
of shaded magenta. This is only because of code reuse purpose but could be changed
if really needed.

Only the volume drawing part is really finished and exposed to the user. Hair
plugs into the existing hair rendering code and is fairly straightforward. The
pointcloud drawing is a hack using overlays rather than Eevee and workbench.
The most tricky part for volume rendering is the case where each volume grid
has a different transform, which requires an additional matrix in the shader
and non-trivial logic in Eevee volume drawing. In the common case were all the
transforms match we don't use the additional per-grid matrix in the shader.

NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

This patch adds new render passes to EEVEE. These passes include:
* Emission
* Diffuse Light
* Diffuse Color
* Glossy Light
* Glossy Color
* Environment
* Volume Scattering
* Volume Transmission
* Bloom
* Shadow
With these passes it will be possible to use EEVEE effectively for
compositing. During development we kept a close eye on how to get similar
results compared to cycles render passes there are some differences that
are related to how EEVEE works. For EEVEE we combined the passes to
`Diffuse` and `Specular`. There are no transmittance or sss passes anymore.
Cycles will be changed accordingly.
Cycles volume transmittance is added to multiple surface col passes. For
EEVEE we left the volume transmittance as a separate pass.
Known Limitations
* All materials that use alpha blending will not be rendered in the render
passes. Other transparency modes are supported.
* More GPU memory is required to store the render passes. When rendering
a HD image with all render passes enabled at max extra 570MB GPU memory is
required.
Implementation Details
An overview of render passes have been described in
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Render/EEVEE/RenderPasses
Future Developments
* In this implementation the materials are re-rendered for Diffuse/Glossy
and Emission passes. We could use multi target rendering to improve the
render speed.
* Other passes can be added later
* Don't render material based passes when only requesting AO or Shadow.
* Add more passes to the system. These could include Cryptomatte, AOV's, Vector,
ObjectID, MaterialID, UV.

This use the overlay AA pass to antialias the selection outlines.
This also do all search and expand in one pass and reduce the computation
time and memory used (2 x 32bit/pixel buffer less).
Note that the aliasing is a bit worse than the old FXAA that we used to have.
This Simplify and should also speedup the drawing a tiny bit.
We now discard the edges in the vertex shader by setting one of the verts
at vec4(0,0,0,0) to not produce any fragment
This is the unification of all overlays into one overlay engine as described in T65347.
I went over all the code making it more future proof with less hacks and removing old / not relevent parts.
Goals / Acheivements:
- Remove internal shader usage (only drw shaders)
- Remove viewportSize and viewportSizeInv and put them in gloabl ubo
- Fixed some drawing issues: Missing probe option and Missing Alt+B clipping of some shader
- Remove old (legacy) shaders dependancy (not using view UBO).
- Less shader variation (less compilation time at first load and less patching needed for vulkan)
- removed some geom shaders when I could
- Remove static e_data (except shaders storage where it is OK)
- Clear the way to fix some anoying limitations (dithered transparency, background image compositing etc...)
- Wireframe drawing now uses the same batching capabilities as workbench & eevee (indirect drawing).
- Reduced complexity, removed ~3000 Lines of code in draw (also removed a lot of unused shader in GPU).
- Post AA to avoid complexity and cost of MSAA.
Remaining issues:
- ~~Armature edits, overlay toggles, (... others?) are not refreshing viewport after AA is complete~~
- FXAA is not the best for wires, maybe investigate SMAA
- Maybe do something more temporally stable for AA.
- ~~Paint overlays are not working with AA.~~
- ~~infront objects are difficult to select.~~
- ~~the infront wires sometimes goes through they solid counterpart (missing clear maybe?) (toggle overlays on-off when using infront+wireframe overlay in solid shading)~~
Note: I made some decision to change slightly the appearance of some objects to simplify their drawing. Namely the empty arrows end (which is now hollow/wire) and distance points of the cameras/spots being done by lines.

Most of the renderpasses in EEVEE used post-processing on the CPU. For
final image rendering this is sufficient, but when we want to display
the data to the user we don't want to transfer to the CPU to do post
processing to then upload it back to the GPU to display the result.
This patch moves the renderpass postprocessing to a GLSL shader.
This is the first step to do, before we will enable the renderpasses in the viewport.

For clarity sake, the batch cache now uses exclusively per Loop attributes.
While this is a bit of a waste of VRAM (for the few case where per vert
attribs are enough) it reduces the complexity and amount of overall VBO
to update in general situations.
This patch also makes the VertexBuffers filling multithreaded. This make
the update of dense meshes a bit faster. The main bottleneck is the
IndexBuffers update which cannot be multithreaded efficiently (have to
increment a counter and/or do a final sorting pass).
We introduce the concept of "extract" functions/step.
All extract functions are executed in one thread each and if possible,
using multiple thread for looping over all elements.

The Pose Bone Selection used normal matric multiplication, but that
mismatched the Depth buffer from all draw engines. They used the

- Add shader config argument when accessing builtin shaders.
- Move GPU_shader_create_from_arrays() from DRW to GPU.
This adds a new geometry shader (specific to edit mesh for now) that
reproduces the effect of glLineWidth > 1.0, since this is not supported on
all platform.
This fix could be generalized to other shaders later.
