2e79951659 Shader Imports. Decouple Mesh logic from PBR (#3137)
## Shader Imports

This adds "whole file" shader imports. These come in two flavors:

### Asset Path Imports

```rust
// /assets/shaders/custom.wgsl

#import "shaders/custom_material.wgsl"

[[stage(fragment)]]
fn fragment() -> [[location(0)]] vec4<f32> {
    return get_color();
}
```

```rust
// /assets/shaders/custom_material.wgsl

[[block]]
struct CustomMaterial {
    color: vec4<f32>;
};
[[group(1), binding(0)]]
var<uniform> material: CustomMaterial;
```

### Custom Path Imports

Enables defining custom import paths. These are intended to be used by crates to export shader functionality:

```rust
// bevy_pbr2/src/render/pbr.wgsl

#import bevy_pbr::mesh_view_bind_group
#import bevy_pbr::mesh_bind_group

[[block]]
struct StandardMaterial {
    base_color: vec4<f32>;
    emissive: vec4<f32>;
    perceptual_roughness: f32;
    metallic: f32;
    reflectance: f32;
    flags: u32;
};

/* rest of PBR fragment shader here */
```

```rust
impl Plugin for MeshRenderPlugin {
    fn build(&self, app: &mut bevy_app::App) {
        let mut shaders = app.world.get_resource_mut::<Assets<Shader>>().unwrap();
        shaders.set_untracked(
            MESH_BIND_GROUP_HANDLE,
            Shader::from_wgsl(include_str!("mesh_bind_group.wgsl"))
                .with_import_path("bevy_pbr::mesh_bind_group"),
        );
        shaders.set_untracked(
            MESH_VIEW_BIND_GROUP_HANDLE,
            Shader::from_wgsl(include_str!("mesh_view_bind_group.wgsl"))
                .with_import_path("bevy_pbr::mesh_view_bind_group"),
        );
```

By convention these should use rust-style module paths that start with the crate name. Ultimately we might enforce this convention.

Note that this feature implements _run time_ import resolution. Ultimately we should move the import logic into an asset preprocessor once Bevy gets support for that.

## Decouple Mesh Logic from PBR Logic via MeshRenderPlugin

This breaks out mesh rendering code from PBR material code, which improves the legibility of the code, decouples mesh logic from PBR logic, and opens the door for a future `MaterialPlugin<T: Material>` that handles all of the pipeline setup for arbitrary shader materials.

## Removed `RenderAsset<Shader>` in favor of extracting shaders into RenderPipelineCache

This simplifies the shader import implementation and removes the need to pass around `RenderAssets<Shader>`.

##  RenderCommands are now fallible

This allows us to cleanly handle pipelines+shaders not being ready yet. We can abort a render command early in these cases, preventing bevy from trying to bind group / do draw calls for pipelines that couldn't be bound. This could also be used in the future for things like "components not existing on entities yet". 

# Next Steps

* Investigate using Naga for "partial typed imports" (ex: `#import bevy_pbr::material::StandardMaterial`, which would import only the StandardMaterial struct)
* Implement `MaterialPlugin<T: Material>` for low-boilerplate custom material shaders
* Move shader import logic into the asset preprocessor once bevy gets support for that.

Fixes #3132

9a4cc42b38 EntityRenderCommand and PhaseItemRenderCommand (#3111)
Adds new `EntityRenderCommand`, `EntityPhaseItem`, and `CachedPipelinePhaseItem` traits to make it possible to reuse RenderCommands across phases. This should be helpful for features like #3072 . It also makes the trait impls slightly less generic-ey in the common cases.

This also fixes the custom shader examples to account for the recent Frustum Culling and MSAA changes (the UX for these things will be improved later).

015617a774 Pipeline Specialization, Shader Assets, and Shader Preprocessing (#3031)
## New Features
This adds the following to the new renderer:

* **Shader Assets**
  * Shaders are assets again! Users no longer need to call `include_str!` for their shaders
  * Shader hot-reloading
* **Shader Defs / Shader Preprocessing**
  * Shaders now support `# ifdef NAME`, `# ifndef NAME`, and `# endif` preprocessor directives
* **Bevy RenderPipelineDescriptor and RenderPipelineCache**
  * Bevy now provides its own `RenderPipelineDescriptor` and the wgpu version is now exported as `RawRenderPipelineDescriptor`. This allows users to define pipelines with `Handle<Shader>` instead of needing to manually compile and reference `ShaderModules`, enables passing in shader defs to configure the shader preprocessor, makes hot reloading possible (because the descriptor can be owned and used to create new pipelines when a shader changes), and opens the doors to pipeline specialization.
  * The `RenderPipelineCache` now handles compiling and re-compiling Bevy RenderPipelineDescriptors. It has internal PipelineLayout and ShaderModule caches. Users receive a `CachedPipelineId`, which can be used to look up the actual `&RenderPipeline` during rendering. 
* **Pipeline Specialization**
  * This enables defining per-entity-configurable pipelines that specialize on arbitrary custom keys. In practice this will involve specializing based on things like MSAA values, Shader Defs, Bind Group existence, and Vertex Layouts.
  * Adds a `SpecializedPipeline` trait and `SpecializedPipelines<MyPipeline>` resource. This is a simple layer that generates Bevy RenderPipelineDescriptors based on a custom key defined for the pipeline.
  * Specialized pipelines are also hot-reloadable.
  * This was the result of experimentation with two different approaches:
    1. **"generic immediate mode multi-key hash pipeline specialization"**
      * breaks up the pipeline into multiple "identities" (the core pipeline definition, shader defs, mesh layout, bind group layout). each of these identities has its own key. looking up / compiling a specific version of a pipeline requires composing all of these keys together
      * the benefit of this approach is that it works for all pipelines / the pipeline is fully identified by the keys. the multiple keys allow pre-hashing parts of the pipeline identity where possible (ex: pre compute the mesh identity for all meshes)
      * the downside is that any per-entity data that informs the values of these keys could require expensive re-hashes. computing each key for each sprite tanked bevymark performance (sprites don't actually need this level of specialization yet ... but things like pbr and future sprite scenarios might). 
      * this is the approach rafx used last time i checked
    2. **"custom key specialization"**
      * Pipelines by default are not specialized
      * Pipelines that need specialization implement a SpecializedPipeline trait with a custom key associated type
      * This allows specialization keys to encode exactly the amount of information required (instead of needing to be a combined hash of the entire pipeline). Generally this should fit in a small number of bytes. Per-entity specialization barely registers anymore on things like bevymark. It also makes things like "shader defs" way cheaper to hash because we can use context specific bitflags instead of strings.
      * Despite the extra trait, it actually generally makes pipeline definitions + lookups simpler: managing multiple keys (and making the appropriate calls to manage these keys) was way more complicated.
  * I opted for custom key specialization. It performs better generally and in my opinion is better UX. Fortunately the way this is implemented also allows for custom caches as this all builds on a common abstraction: the RenderPipelineCache. The built in custom key trait is just a simple / pre-defined way to interact with the cache 

## Callouts

* The SpecializedPipeline trait makes it easy to inherit pipeline configuration in custom pipelines. The changes to `custom_shader_pipelined` and the new `shader_defs_pipelined` example illustrate how much simpler it is to define custom pipelines based on the PbrPipeline.
* The shader preprocessor is currently pretty naive (it just uses regexes to process each line). Ultimately we might want to build a more custom parser for more performance + better error handling, but for now I'm happy to optimize for "easy to implement and understand". 

## Next Steps

* Port compute pipelines to the new system
* Add more preprocessor directives (else, elif, import)
* More flexible vertex attribute specialization / enable cheaply specializing on specific mesh vertex layouts

08969a24b8 Modular Rendering (#2831)
This changes how render logic is composed to make it much more modular. Previously, all extraction logic was centralized for a given "type" of rendered thing. For example, we extracted meshes into a vector of ExtractedMesh, which contained the mesh and material asset handles, the transform, etc. We looked up bindings for "drawn things" using their index in the `Vec<ExtractedMesh>`. This worked fine for built in rendering, but made it hard to reuse logic for "custom" rendering. It also prevented us from reusing things like "extracted transforms" across contexts.

To make rendering more modular, I made a number of changes:

* Entities now drive rendering:
  * We extract "render components" from "app components" and store them _on_ entities. No more centralized uber lists! We now have true "ECS-driven rendering"
  * To make this perform well, I implemented #2673 in upstream Bevy for fast batch insertions into specific entities. This was merged into the `pipelined-rendering` branch here: #2815
* Reworked the `Draw` abstraction:
  * Generic `PhaseItems`: each draw phase can define its own type of "rendered thing", which can define its own "sort key"
  * Ported the 2d, 3d, and shadow phases to the new PhaseItem impl (currently Transparent2d, Transparent3d, and Shadow PhaseItems)
  * `Draw` trait and and `DrawFunctions` are now generic on PhaseItem
  * Modular / Ergonomic `DrawFunctions` via `RenderCommands`
    * RenderCommand is a trait that runs an ECS query and produces one or more RenderPass calls. Types implementing this trait can be composed to create a final DrawFunction. For example the DrawPbr DrawFunction is created from the following DrawCommand tuple. Const generics are used to set specific bind group locations:
        ```rust
         pub type DrawPbr = (
            SetPbrPipeline,
            SetMeshViewBindGroup<0>,
            SetStandardMaterialBindGroup<1>,
            SetTransformBindGroup<2>,
            DrawMesh,
        );
        ```
    * The new `custom_shader_pipelined` example illustrates how the commands above can be reused to create a custom draw function:
       ```rust
       type DrawCustom = (
           SetCustomMaterialPipeline,
           SetMeshViewBindGroup<0>,
           SetTransformBindGroup<2>,
           DrawMesh,
       );
       ``` 
* ExtractComponentPlugin and UniformComponentPlugin:
  * Simple, standardized ways to easily extract individual components and write them to GPU buffers
* Ported PBR and Sprite rendering to the new primitives above.
* Removed staging buffer from UniformVec in favor of direct Queue usage
  * Makes UniformVec much easier to use and more ergonomic. Completely removes the need for custom render graph nodes in these contexts (see the PbrNode and view Node removals and the much simpler call patterns in the relevant Prepare systems).
* Added a many_cubes_pipelined example to benchmark baseline 3d rendering performance and ensure there were no major regressions during this port. Avoiding regressions was challenging given that the old approach of extracting into centralized vectors is basically the "optimal" approach. However thanks to a various ECS optimizations and render logic rephrasing, we pretty much break even on this benchmark!
* Lifetimeless SystemParams: this will be a bit divisive, but as we continue to embrace "trait driven systems" (ex: ExtractComponentPlugin, UniformComponentPlugin, DrawCommand), the ergonomics of `(Query<'static, 'static, (&'static A, &'static B, &'static)>, Res<'static, C>)` were getting very hard to bear. As a compromise, I added "static type aliases" for the relevant SystemParams. The previous example can now be expressed like this: `(SQuery<(Read<A>, Read<B>)>, SRes<C>)`. If anyone has better ideas / conflicting opinions, please let me know!
* RunSystem trait: a way to define Systems via a trait with a SystemParam associated type. This is used to implement the various plugins mentioned above. I also added SystemParamItem and QueryItem type aliases to make "trait stye" ecs interactions nicer on the eyes (and fingers).
* RenderAsset retrying: ensures that render assets are only created when they are "ready" and allows us to create bind groups directly inside render assets (which significantly simplified the StandardMaterial code). I think ultimately we should swap this out on "asset dependency" events to wait for dependencies to load, but this will require significant asset system changes.
* Updated some built in shaders to account for missing MeshUniform fields
