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.

The conservative depth shader is ~4.5x slower than the normal one as it
uses geometry shader and fragment shader discard.
This patch also includes a hack to also fix the view parallel planar
geometry and the really small wire objects.
For some reason, the conservative raster fix does not work with normal
selection but does with box select.
This is a fix for T63356.

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.

Both eevee_materials.c and workbench_deferred.c include eeve_lut.h which has its arrays marked as static leading to the blue_noise array being embedded into our binary twice.
This change takes the arrays out of the header and properly marks them as const since they are lookup tables and should not be written to.

Migrate old legacy code to the draw mamager/object mode. The old legacy
version did not work with wireframe. By migrating the code
to modern draw manager code we have mode control on the drawing process.
Still background images do not work with OIT, the cause seems to be that the transparent pixels are treated as background pixels.
Also There are some artifacts when working with Holdouts and DoF, this
is because the draw engines do not pass the correct alpha values.

The Pose Bone Selection used normal matric multiplication, but that
mismatched the Depth buffer from all draw engines. They used the
optimized matrices from common_view_lib.
This change will use the optimized version, so the depth buffer matches
and the render artifacts would be correct.
Please note that bone selection is not using shcfg and therefore render clipping is still off.

Depth testing was off as it used the precomputed ModelView matrix. As
draw engines currently use a different approach the depth was sometimes
a bit off making the color disappear.
This change will use a different vertex shader that will write the
correct depth. I expected the same change to be needed in the bone
selection overlay but was not able to reproduce it.

No functional change, this adds LIB definition and args to cmake files.
Without this it's difficult to migrate away from 'BLENDER_SORTED_LIBS'
since there are many platforms/configurations that could break when
changing linking order.
Manually add and enable WITHOUT_SORTED_LIBS to try building
without sorted libs (currently fails since all variables are empty).
This check will eventually be removed.
See T46725.
The hotspot was generated by mesh_cd_layers_type_overlap who was testing
way more data than it should have.
Here we reduce the whole CD layer mask to a 32bit bitflag that is easily
or'ed and tested.
Bonus point: We use atomic operation to merge the mask in order to allow
future multi-threading. (this was a TODO)
In the scene attached to T58188 this removes 5% of CPU time.
Needed to fix T61196, supporting clipped back-buffer in the 3D view
which is done outside the draw module.
It was also inconvenient having DRW_shader_* versions of GPU_shader_*
API calls.
- Clipping distances are now supported as a shader configuration
for builtin shaders.
- 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.
The algorithm used is borrowed from :
http://tuxedolabs.blogspot.com/2018/05/bokeh-depth-of-field-in-single-pass.html
This makes it possible to have a decent blur for foreground over defocused
background in one pass only.
The algorithm is using a gather approach that is much faster
than the scatter approach used in Eevee. This makes it possible to have
custom bokeh shapes (not implemented yet) which would be impossible with
a separable gaussian technique.
The blur is done in 2 steps. The first one define the shape of the bokeh
and the second that fill the undersampling.
A downsample max-CoC tile texture speed up the gathering process.
Originally I wanted to avoid adding draw manager specific ifdef's all
over generic shaders however this isn't needed in so many places.
Also there are shaders that are only used by the draw manager so
duplicating them only to have the original unused doesn't make sense.
DRW_shader_get_builtin_shader can replace GPU_shader_get_builtin_shader
when we need to support clipping.
Use this for loose point & wire drawing in object mode,
clips edges in lattice edit mode.
Shaded triangles are not yet implemented (request from gpumaterials).
This also changes the mechanism to draw curve normals to make it not
dependant on normal size display. This way different viewport can
reuse the same batch.
Also this display is optimized. It does not use blending and pixel discard.
Working with scanned data should be more pleasant with this.
A better option would be to use gl_FragDepth to have a better sense of
volume but this discards early depth test.
We separate the background and foreground shading passes to be able to make
the object id pass optionnal if we don't need it.
This saves a bit more memory. Also not clearing all rendertargets saves
some GPU time too.
