...by removing the entire adjustedFormat() helper.
Qt Quick has never used this, which indicates it is not that
useful. Same goes for Qt Multimedia or Qt 3D. Ensuring depth and
stencil is requested is already solved by using
QSurfaceFormat::setDefaultFormat() or by adjusting the formats
everywhere as appropriate.
The helper function's usages are in the manual tests that use it as a
shortcut, and in the GL backend itself. Remove it and leave it up the
client to set the depth or stencil buffer size, typically in the
global default surface format. (which in fact many of the mentioned
manual tests already did, so some of calls to
window->setFormat(adjustedFormat()) were completely unnecessary)
By not having the built-in magic that tries to always force depth and
stencil, we avoid problems that arise then the helper cannot be easily
invoked (thinking of widgets and backingstores), and so one ends up
with unexpected stencil (or depth) in the context (where the GL
backend auto-adjusts), but not in the window (which is not under
QRhi's control).
It was in practice possible to trigger EGL_BAD_MATCH failures with the
new rhi-based widget composition on EGL-based systems. For example, if
an application with a QOpenGLWidget did not set both depth and stencil
(but only one, or none), it ended up failing due to the context -
surface EGLConfig mismatches. On other platforms this matters less due
to less strict config/pixelformat management.

Some of the offsets are already quint32 in the API (vertex input
attributes, dynamic offsets, offsets in draw calls), matching the
reality of the underlying 3D APIs, but many buffer-related functions
use int as of now, simply because that used to be the default choice,
and the same goes for sizes (such as buffer or range sizes). This is
not quite consistent and should be cleaned up if for nothing else then
just to make the classes consistent, but also because no 3D API use a
signed type for offsets, sizes, and strides. (except OpenGL for some)
When it comes to strides (for vertex inputs and raw image texture
uploads), those are already all quint32s. This is straightforward
because most of the 3D APIs use 32-bit uints for these regardless of
the architecture.
Sizes and offsets are often architecture-dependent (Vulkan, Metal),
but there is at least one API where they are always 32-bit even on
64-bit Windows (UINT == unsigned int, D3D11). In addition, we do not
really care about buffer or texture data larger than 4 GB, at least
not without realistic use cases and real world testing, which are
quite unlikely to materialize for now (esp. since we still have the
width/height of 2D textures limited to 16 or 32K in many cases even on
desktops, whereas 2GB+ buffers are not guaranteed in practice even
when an API seemingly allows it).
In any case, the important change here is the signed->unsigned
switch. A number of casts can now be removed here and there in the
backends, because the offsets and sizes are now unsigned as well,
matching the underlying API reality. The size can be potentially
increased later on with minimal effort, if that becomes necessary for
some reason.

We want to enable gaining access to the underlying resource(s) by
inspecting a QRhiRenderTarget. This is not currently possible for
swapchains since there is nothing that references the actual
QRhiSwapChain. To clean this up, make an explicit, new
QRhiSwapChainRenderTarget subclass. Thus the logic already used in a
couple of places to examine the resources attached to a
QRhiTextureRenderTarget can now work with swapchain render targets too,
by branching based on the resourceType().
This eliminates the somewhat odd setup where a "RenderTarget" resource
is QRhiRenderTarget corresponding (but not exposing!) a swapchain,
whereas a "TextureRenderTarget" is a QRhiTextureRenderTarget which
is a subclass of QRhiRenderTarget. Now we correctly have an (abstract)
base and two subclasses, one for each type of render targets.
Besides, it allows us to clean up the oddly named
Q...ReferenceRenderTarget classes in the backends, which initially tried
to indicate that this "render target" merely references (or, in
practice, is) a swapchain. We can now have a nice and symmetrical
Q...SwapChainRenderTarget and Q...TextureRenderTarget naming scheme.

There is a TODO for this in Qt Quick from the 6.0 times. To decide
upfront if Metal can be expected to function, or if a fallback to
OpenGL needs to be triggered (especially important with macOS virtual
machines, where, unlike any real macOS system, Metal may not be
present at all), the scenegraph calls create() and then drops the
result. The idea to make this less wasteful was back then to add a
dedicated probing function which can, possibly, perform the checks in
a more lightweight manner than full initialization. Implement this
now, focusing on Metal.
Brought to attention by QTBUG-100441: printing warnings about not
having an MTLDevice is confusing in a Metal-less macOS VM, because it
is not an actual error, only part of the probing at scenegraph

slightly more expensive than combined image samplers.
Do note that combined image samplers (i.e. sampler2D in the shader and

The system we inherited from the original Qt 5.14 introduction of QRhi
is a text stream based solution where resource creation and frame
timings are sent in a comma-separated format to a QIODevice.
This, while useful to get insights about the number of resources at a
given time, is not actively helpful. The frameworks built on top (Qt
Quick, Qt Quick 3D) are expected to provide solutions for logging
timings in a different way (e.g. via the QML Profiler). Similarly,
tracking active resources and generating statistics from that is
better handled on a higher level.
The unique bits, such as the Vulkan memory allocator statistics and
the GPU frame timestamps, are converted into APIs in QRhi. This way a
user of QRhi can query it at any time and do whatever it sees fit with
the data.
When it comes to the GPU timestamps, that has a somewhat limited value
due to the heavy asynchronousness, hence the callback based
API. Nonetheless, this is still useful since it is the only means of
reporting some frame timing data (an approx. elapsed milliseconds for
a frame) from the GPU side.

Adds the following in a QShader/QShaderDescription:
- a list of separate images
- a list of separate samplers
- a list of "combined_sampler_uniform_name" -> [
separate_texture_binding, separate_sampler_binding ] mappings
(relevant for GLSL only)
On the QShader (and qsb/QShaderBaker) level not having separate image
(texture) and sampler objects exposed in the reflection info is not
entirely future proof. Right now we benefit strongly from the fact
that Vulkan/SPIR-V supports both combined and separate
images/samplers, while for HLSL and MSL SPIRV-Cross translates
combined image samplers to separate texture and sampler objects, but
it is not given that relying on combined image samplers will always be
possible in the long run; it is mostly a legacy OpenGL thing that just
happens to be supported in Vulkan/SPIR-V due to some benefits with
certain implementations/hw, but is not something present in any newer
APIs.
In addition, before this patch, attempting to run a shader with
separate textures and samplers through qsb will just fail for GLSL,
even though SPIRV-Cross does have the ability to generate a "fake"
combined sampler for each separate texture+sampler combination. Take
this into use. This also involves generating and exposing a
combined_name->[separate_texture_binding,separate_sampler_binding]
mapping table for GLSL, not unlike we have the native binding map for
HLSL and MSL. A user (such as, the GL backend of QRhi) would then use
this table to recognize what user-provided texture+sampler binding
point numbers correspond to which auto-generated sampler2Ds in the GL
program.
Take the following example:
layout(binding = 1) uniform texture2D sepTex;
layout(binding = 2) uniform sampler sepSampler;
layout(binding = 3) uniform sampler sepSampler2;
Inn the reflection info (QShaderDescription) this (assuming a
corresponding qtshadertools patch in place) now gives one entry in
separateImages() and two in separateSamplers(). Assuming sepTex is
used both with sepSampler and sepSampler2, the GLSL output and mapping
table from QShaderBaker will have two auto-generated sampler2Ds (and
no 'texture2D' or 'sampler').
One immediate benefit is that it is now possible to create a shader
that relies only on separate images and samplers, feed it into qsb,
generate all the possible targets, and then also feed the SPIR-V
binary into a tool or library such as Tint (e.g. to generate WGSL)
that canot deal with combined image samplers.

Add QRhi APIs to retrieve and reload the contents of the "pipeline
cache".
The only API where there is a true pipeline cache is object is Vulkan
(VkPipelineCache). For OpenGL, the other backend where we support this,
it is simulated with program binaries. The Qt 5 style OpenGL program
binary disk cache continues to work like before, but one has now the
option to do things in a more modern, graphics API agnostic way, that
leads to generating a single blob instead of a large set of files in
some system location, allowing easier "pre-baking" of the cache content.
It is expected that Qt Quick exposes the two new functions in form
if QSG_RHI_ environment variables, thus allowing easy testing and
cache file generation.
As an example for the performance improvements this can give, consider
Vulkan, where we do not have any existing persistent caching mechanism
in place:
Running BenchmarkDemoQt6.exe --scene flythrough --mode demo creates 18
QRhiGraphicsPipeline objects from Qt Quick and Qt Quick 3D.
The total time spent in QRhiGraphicsPipeline::create() during application
startup for these 18 pipelines is 35-40 ms on a given Windows (NVIDIA)
system.
When exporting the pipeline cache contents to a file, and then, in a
subsequent run, reloading the cache contents, this is reduced to 5-7 ms
on the same system, meaning we get a 6-7x improvement.
The generated data is always specific to a given Qt version, RHI
backend, graphics device, and driver version. Much of the implementation
consists of adding and verifying the appropriate header to the blobs
retrieved from the driver, to allow gracefully ignoring data that was
generated with a device or driver that differs from the one used at
run time. This should provide robustness, even if the Vulkan or OpenGL
implementation is for some reason not prepared to identity and reject
incompatible cache/program blobs.

From QRhi's perspective this consists of two things:
- A shader with samplerExternalOES in it cannot go through the standard
pipeline. Rather, a QShader with suitable GLSL code in it has to be
constructed manually. As this is something useful as an autotest
anyway, add a test case to the qshader autotest that demonstrates
this.
- When it comes to correctly calling glBindTexture, add a QRhiTexture
flag. The expectation is that an OpenGL-only client sets this in
combination with QRhiTexture::createFrom(), thus wrapping an existing
texture that then gets bound to the GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES target
instead of our usual GL_TEXTURE_2D.
For completeness we also add a SamplerExternalOES variable type to
QShaderDescription, but the sampler type is not actually used by the
QRhi OpenGL backend, as it is the QRhiTexture that defines the
texture target.

...to the extent it is sensible. We have to make compromises still,
meaning some fields will only be applicable with certain APIs.
Most of this is already shown upon QRhi::create() as info debug
prints, when enabled. Now expose it all through the QRhi API as
well.
This is useful for printing in qtdiag, and, while it should be
avoided as much as possible, to make decisions about disabling
3D rendering features depending on the driver and GPU in use.
