bfc713530a rhi: Add queries for vertex input/output limits
Mainly because we do have legacy code in the Qt 5 graphical effects that
tries to dynamically determine the max number of varyings. Make it
easier to port such code.

23f8d6c57f rhi: Drop the profiler for now
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.

df0e98d408 rhi: Pipeline cache load/save
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.

8fe16fef28 rhi: Expose compute threadgroup limits in ResourceLimits
As OpenGL ES and Vulkan ruin the day with the spec mandated minimum
value for max threads per threadgroup being only 128, clients need
a way to decide if their compute shader (local_size_*) is suitable
for use at run time.

Essential in order to allow fast testing of window transparency

2602209f54 rhi: vulkan: Introduce secondary command buffer usage
As an option. Must opt in via setting ExternalContentsInPass in
the flags for beginFrame(). It is somewhat unfortunate to require
declaring this up front, but forcing using secondary command buffers
always, even though beginExternal() may not be used in many applications,
would be an overkill.

Have feature flags as appropriate. OpenGL is causing a mess here
but let's support what we can since some of this will become relevant
in more sophisticated mesh drawing cases with 3D in particular.

854ddb0301 rhi: Enhance line width and point size support
...but this will vary between backends, or in some cases
even between implementations of the same API.

Point size is settable only via the vertex shader (gl_PointSize).
It is silently ignored with D3D and HLSL.

Line widths other than 1 are supported only on OpenGL and Vulkan.
(but this is in fact deprecated with GL and optional with Vulkan)

Add QRhi::Feature values for both.

The line width is now settable on QRhiGraphicsPipeline. It is not a
dynamic state since the static, per-pipeline width is good enough for
most cases. (and the feature is not supported on half of the backends
anyways so it will get limited use in practice).

53599592e0 Introduce the Qt graphics abstraction as private QtGui helpers
Comes with backends for Vulkan, Metal, Direct3D 11.1, and OpenGL (ES).

All APIs are private for now.

Shader conditioning (i.e. generating a QRhiShader in memory or on disk
from some shader source code) is done via the tools and APIs provided
by qt-labs/qtshadertools.

The OpenGL support follows the cross-platform tradition of requiring
ES 2.0 only, while optionally using some (ES) 3.x features. It can
operate in core profile contexts as well.
