This fixes poor Cycles panel ordering, with Freestyle and Custom Properties
appearing at the top.
For most cases order of registration is still the easiest way to control
order and it's recommended to keep using that. This is mainly to solve a few
cases where we want a few built-in panels to appear below add-on panels.
There is now a checkbox to enable/disable depth of field per camera. For Eevee
this replace the scene level setting. For Cycles there is now only an F-Stop
value, no longer a Radius.
Existing files are converted based on Cycles or Eevee being set in the scene.

This is to simplify the usage of Volumetrics.
Now it automatically detect if there is any Volumetric material in the
view and allocate the needed buffer if any.
For existing files, it will use the setting from Cycles or Eevee depending on
the render engine in the scene.

- Add `render_aa` and `viewport_aa` sampling setting for workbench. 0
samples means no AA, 1 sample uses FXAA and more samples will use
TAA.
The viewport `gpu_viewport_quality` can still limit viewport anti-aliasing
method.
- Use TAA when rendering images. (this used to be CPU based FSAA)
- Removed `R_OSA` related settings.

* Rename "Use Smoke Highres" to "Use High-resolution Smoke"
* Use 'Display' instead of 'Draw', following the naming conventions in 2.8
* Drop the 'Use' prefix in the UI, a "High-resolution Smoke' checkbox sufficiently communicates what it does.
Cycles shows first the render, and then the viewport settings.
One could argue that EEVEE's main setting is the viewport one.
But that is silly. If we need an extra setting for the lookdev mode so be it.
But EEVEE should be treated as an engine just as Cycles.
Also, removed the " Samples" bit from their labels since they are under
the Sampling panel.
Now it's possible define the blend mode between layers including the option to clamp the layer using underlying layers.
Also a new Simplify option has been added to disable blend layers.
This setting can be tweaked to improve glossy reflection cubemaps.
It increases the sample count for each roughness level.
This settings affect the lookdev mode quality as well.
This enables reducing the noise comming from very bright light sources
(like a sun) that can be found in distant HDRIs.
The lost energy may be replaced manually by a sunlight that compensate the
this loss.
This clamping only concerns Reflection Cubmaps and is done on all on all
of them.
Setting to 0.0 disables it (default).
This is a parameter that will make the interpolation between irradiance
cells of a same Irradiance Volume smoother, reducing the weight of the
light leaking correction factors.
It is usefull in some cases to avoid harsh lighting transition that can
happen when a sample point it near a surface.
This is an important change. Starting from now, all lights have a finite
influence radius (similar to the old sphere option for BI).
In order to avoid costly setup time, this distance is first computed
automatically based on a light threshold. The distance is computed
at the light origin and using the inverse square falloff. The setting
can be found inside the render settings panel > shadow tab.
This light threshold does not take the light shape into account an may not
suit every case. That's why we provide a per lamp override where you can
just set the cutt off distance (Light Properties Panel > Light >
Custom Distance).
The influence distance is also used as shadow far clip distance.
This influence distance does not concerns sun lights that still have a
far clip distance.

This change is important because it makes it possible to cull lights
an improve performance drastically in the future.
It mainly contains properties that affect the final render/viewport and it's handy
to see if it's enabled or not while going through the render settings.
This option make the internal render size larger than the output size in
order to minimize screenspace effects disapearing at the render edges.
The overscan size added around the render is the maximum dimension
multiplied by the overscan percentage.
This new option is located in the shadows options in the render settings.
This approach is simple and just randomize the shadow map position (not
the lamp itself) and just let the temporal supersampling do the average of
all the shadowing. The downside is that is needs quite a large number of
samples to give smooth results and individual sample position can remain
visible.
Enabling this option will make the viewport refresh all shadow maps every
redraw so it has a serious performance impact.
This approach is not physicaly based at all and will not match cycles.
