The main reason here is that we want to not fail when the texture size
is larger than the supported GpuImage size.
When that happens, for now we just fallback slowly - ulitmately to
drawing with Cairo, which is going to be clipped.
There's multiple uses I want it for:
1. Generating the box-shadow area for blurring
2. Generating masks for rounded-rect masking
3. Optimizing the common use case of rounded-clip + color
Only the last one is implemented in this commit.
Introduce a new GskGpuImageDescriptors object that tracks descriptors
for a set of images that can be managed by the GPU.
Then have each GskGpuShaderOp just reference the descriptors object they are
using, so that the coe can set things up properly.
To reference an image, the ops now just reference their descriptor -
which is the uint32 we've been sending to the shaders since forever.
The env var allows skipping various optimizations in the GPU shader.
This is useful for testing during development when trying to figure
out how to make a renderer as fast as possible.
We could also use it to enable/disable optimizations depending on GL
version or so, but I didn't think about that too much yet.
When drawing opaque color regions that are large enough, use
vkCmdClearAttachments()/glClear() instead of a shader. This speeds up
background rendering on particular on older GPUs.

for a further discussion of performance impacts.
They're done using the pattern shader.
The pattern shader now gained a stack where vec4's can be pushed and
popped back later, which allows storing the position before computing
the new position inside the repeat node's child.
... and use it for glyphs.
The name is a slight variation of the "coloring" name from the GL
renderer.
The functionality is exactly what the "glyph" shader from the Vulkan
renderer does.
Instead of strictly rounding to the given clip rectangle, increase the
rectangle to the next pixel boundary.
Also add docs that the clip_bounds do not influence the actual size of
the returned image.
It's just an object that encapsulates everything needed to create (the
data for) a pattern op.
It also clarifies which code does what, because now the NodeProcessor
and the PatternWriter are 2 different things.
Pretty much a copy of the Vulkan border shader.
A notable change is that the input arguments are changed, because GL
gets confused if you put a mat4 at the end.
when doing get_node_as_image(), that may spawn a new buffer writer that
writes into the samme buffer when rendering an offscreen with patterns.
So as a more or less hacky workaround, we now abort the current buffer
write and restart it once we've created the image.
If creation fails, create an offscreen image instead and draw that as a
texture.
Because offscreens basically always succeed, we can pretty much assume
success everywhere - apart from pattern creation functions that also
create images, because they can run out of shader space.
Now we can extend the pattern creation easily - and we can add new
patterns quickly later.
Plus, we need to keep this file in sync with pattern.glsl and it's neat
when those 2 files reference only each other.
This is again mostly a copy of the Vulkan renderer.
It's a bit awkward codewise with the new invalidation framework,
because we need to cache the previous values individually now,
but it's a lot more finegrained, and we don't emit globals multiple
times when clips are nested.
... and use it to initialize the "proper" projection matrix to use in
shaders.
The resulting viewport will go from top left (0,0) to bottom right
(width, height) and the z clipping plane will go from -10000 to 10000.
This heaves over an inital chunk of code from the Vulkan renderer to
execute shaders.
The only shader that exists for now is a shader that draws a single
texture.
We use that to replace the blit op we were doing before.
