Blender startup time and shader compilation is a big factor when running
hundreds of tests, so now all renders in the same ctest run in the same
process.
This was previously reverted due to skipping other tests when one test
crashed. Now if a test crashes, Blender is re-run with the remaining
tests so we get results from them still.

be marked as skipped.
Benchmarked on a quad core with ctest -j8.
cycles: 118.1s -> 94.3s
eevee: 66.2s -> 29.2s
workbench: 31.7s -> 8.6s
This reuses the Cycles regression test code to also work for OpenGL UI drawing.
We launch Blender with a bunch of .blend files, take a screenshot and compare
it with a reference screenshot, and generate a HMTL report showing the failed
tests and their differences.
For Cycles we keep small reference renders to compare to in svn, but for OpenGL
developers currently have to generate the references manually. How to use:
* WITH_OPENGL_DRAW_TESTS=ON in CMake
* BLENDER_TEST_UPDATE=1 ctest -R opengl_draw
* .. make code changes ..
* ctest -R opengl_draw
* open build_dir/tests/opengl_draw/report.html
