Use impl Into<A> for Assets::add (#10878)
# Motivation

When spawning entities into a scene, it is very common to create assets
like meshes and materials and to add them via asset handles. A common
setup might look like this:

```rust
fn setup(
    mut commands: Commands,
    mut meshes: ResMut<Assets<Mesh>>,
    mut materials: ResMut<Assets<StandardMaterial>>,
) {
    commands.spawn(PbrBundle {
        mesh: meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
        material: materials.add(StandardMaterial::from(Color::RED)),
        ..default()
    });
}
```

Let's take a closer look at the part that adds the assets using `add`.

```rust
mesh: meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
material: materials.add(StandardMaterial::from(Color::RED)),
```

Here, "mesh" and "material" are both repeated three times. It's very
explicit, but I find it to be a bit verbose. In addition to being more
code to read and write, the extra characters can sometimes also lead to
the code being formatted to span multiple lines even though the core
task, adding e.g. a primitive mesh, is extremely simple.

A way to address this is by using `.into()`:

```rust
mesh: meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }.into()),
material: materials.add(Color::RED.into()),
```

This is fine, but from the names and the type of `meshes`, we already
know what the type should be. It's very clear that `Cube` should be
turned into a `Mesh` because of the context it's used in. `.into()` is
just seven characters, but it's so common that it quickly adds up and
gets annoying.

It would be nice if you could skip all of the conversion and let Bevy
handle it for you:

```rust
mesh: meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }),
material: materials.add(Color::RED),
```

# Objective

Make adding assets more ergonomic by making `Assets::add` take an `impl
Into<A>` instead of `A`.

## Solution

`Assets::add` now takes an `impl Into<A>` instead of `A`, so e.g. this
works:

```rust
    commands.spawn(PbrBundle {
        mesh: meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }),
        material: materials.add(Color::RED),
        ..default()
    });
```

I also changed all examples to use this API, which increases consistency
as well because `Mesh::from` and `into` were being used arbitrarily even
in the same file. This also gets rid of some lines of code because
formatting is nicer.

---

## Changelog

- `Assets::add` now takes an `impl Into<A>` instead of `A`
- Examples don't use `T::from(K)` or `K.into()` when adding assets

## Migration Guide

Some `into` calls that worked previously might now be broken because of
the new trait bounds. You need to either remove `into` or perform the
conversion explicitly with `from`:

```rust
// Doesn't compile
let mesh_handle = meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }.into()),

// These compile
let mesh_handle = meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }),
let mesh_handle = meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
```

## Concerns

I believe the primary concerns might be:

1. Is this too implicit?
2. Does this increase codegen bloat?

Previously, the two APIs were using `into` or `from`, and now it's
"nothing" or `from`. You could argue that `into` is slightly more
explicit than "nothing" in cases like the earlier examples where a
`Color` gets converted to e.g. a `StandardMaterial`, but I personally
don't think `into` adds much value even in this case, and you could
still see the actual type from the asset type.

As for codegen bloat, I doubt it adds that much, but I'm not very
familiar with the details of codegen. I personally value the user-facing
code reduction and ergonomics improvements that these changes would
provide, but it might be worth checking the other effects in more
detail.

Another slight concern is migration pain; apps might have a ton of
`into` calls that would need to be removed, and it did take me a while
to do so for Bevy itself (maybe around 20-40 minutes). However, I think
the fact that there *are* so many `into` calls just highlights that the
API could be made nicer, and I'd gladly migrate my own projects for it.

Split ComputedVisibility into two components to allow for accurate change detection and speed up visibility propagation (#9497)
# Objective

Fix #8267.
Fixes half of #7840.

The `ComputedVisibility` component contains two flags: hierarchy
visibility, and view visibility (whether its visible to any cameras).
Due to the modular and open-ended way that view visibility is computed,
it triggers change detection every single frame, even when the value
does not change. Since hierarchy visibility is stored in the same
component as view visibility, this means that change detection for
inherited visibility is completely broken.

At the company I work for, this has become a real issue. We are using
change detection to only re-render scenes when necessary. The broken
state of change detection for computed visibility means that we have to
to rely on the non-inherited `Visibility` component for now. This is
workable in the early stages of our project, but since we will
inevitably want to use the hierarchy, we will have to either:

1. Roll our own solution for computed visibility.
2. Fix the issue for everyone.

## Solution

Split the `ComputedVisibility` component into two: `InheritedVisibilty`
and `ViewVisibility`.
This allows change detection to behave properly for
`InheritedVisibility`.
View visiblity is still erratic, although it is less useful to be able
to detect changes
for this flavor of visibility.

Overall, this actually simplifies the API. Since the visibility system
consists of
self-explaining components, it is much easier to document the behavior
and usage.
This approach is more modular and "ECS-like" -- one could
strip out the `ViewVisibility` component entirely if it's not needed,
and rely only on inherited visibility.

---

## Changelog

- `ComputedVisibility` has been removed in favor of:
`InheritedVisibility` and `ViewVisiblity`.

## Migration Guide

The `ComputedVisibilty` component has been split into
`InheritedVisiblity` and
`ViewVisibility`. Replace any usages of
`ComputedVisibility::is_visible_in_hierarchy`
with `InheritedVisibility::get`, and replace
`ComputedVisibility::is_visible_in_view`
 with `ViewVisibility::get`.
 
 ```rust
 // Before:
 commands.spawn(VisibilityBundle {
     visibility: Visibility::Inherited,
     computed_visibility: ComputedVisibility::default(),
 });
 
 // After:
 commands.spawn(VisibilityBundle {
     visibility: Visibility::Inherited,
     inherited_visibility: InheritedVisibility::default(),
     view_visibility: ViewVisibility::default(),
 });
 ```
 
 ```rust
 // Before:
 fn my_system(q: Query<&ComputedVisibilty>) {
     for vis in &q {
         if vis.is_visible_in_hierarchy() {
     
 // After:
 fn my_system(q: Query<&InheritedVisibility>) {
     for inherited_visibility in &q {
         if inherited_visibility.get() {
 ```
 
 ```rust
 // Before:
 fn my_system(q: Query<&ComputedVisibilty>) {
     for vis in &q {
         if vis.is_visible_in_view() {
     
 // After:
 fn my_system(q: Query<&ViewVisibility>) {
     for view_visibility in &q {
         if view_visibility.get() {
 ```
 
 ```rust
 // Before:
 fn my_system(mut q: Query<&mut ComputedVisibilty>) {
     for vis in &mut q {
         vis.set_visible_in_view();
     
 // After:
 fn my_system(mut q: Query<&mut ViewVisibility>) {
     for view_visibility in &mut q {
         view_visibility.set();
 ```

d1528dfbf8 Warn instead of erroring when max_font_atlases is exceeded (#6673)
# Objective

Fixes #6642

In a way that doesn't create any breaking changes, as a possible way to fix the above in a patch release.

## Solution

Don't actually remove font atlases when `max_font_atlases` is exceeded. Add a warning instead.

Keep `TextError::ExceedMaxTextAtlases` and `TextSettings` as-is so we don't break anything.

This is a bit of a cop-out, but the problems revealed by #6642 seem very challenging to fix properly.

Maybe follow up later with something more like https://github.com/rparrett/bevy/commits/remove-max-font-atlases later, if this is the direction we want to go.

## Note

See previous attempt at a "simple fix" that only solved some of the issues: #6666

01aedc8431 Spawn now takes a Bundle (#6054)
# Objective

Now that we can consolidate Bundles and Components under a single insert (thanks to #2975 and #6039), almost 100% of world spawns now look like `world.spawn().insert((Some, Tuple, Here))`. Spawning an entity without any components is an extremely uncommon pattern, so it makes sense to give spawn the "first class" ergonomic api. This consolidated api should be made consistent across all spawn apis (such as World and Commands).

## Solution

All `spawn` apis (`World::spawn`, `Commands:;spawn`, `ChildBuilder::spawn`, and `WorldChildBuilder::spawn`) now accept a bundle as input:

```rust
// before:
commands
  .spawn()
  .insert((A, B, C));
world
  .spawn()
  .insert((A, B, C);

// after
commands.spawn((A, B, C));
world.spawn((A, B, C));
```

All existing instances of `spawn_bundle` have been deprecated in favor of the new `spawn` api. A new `spawn_empty` has been added, replacing the old `spawn` api.  

By allowing `world.spawn(some_bundle)` to replace `world.spawn().insert(some_bundle)`, this opened the door to removing the initial entity allocation in the "empty" archetype / table done in `spawn()` (and subsequent move to the actual archetype in `.insert(some_bundle)`).

This improves spawn performance by over 10%:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/191627587-4ab2f949-4ccd-4231-80eb-80dd4d9ad6b9.png)

To take this measurement, I added a new `world_spawn` benchmark.

Unfortunately, optimizing `Commands::spawn` is slightly less trivial, as Commands expose the Entity id of spawned entities prior to actually spawning. Doing the optimization would (naively) require assurances that the `spawn(some_bundle)` command is applied before all other commands involving the entity (which would not necessarily be true, if memory serves). Optimizing `Commands::spawn` this way does feel possible, but it will require careful thought (and maybe some additional checks), which deserves its own PR. For now, it has the same performance characteristics of the current `Commands::spawn_bundle` on main.

**Note that 99% of this PR is simple renames and refactors. The only code that needs careful scrutiny is the new `World::spawn()` impl, which is relatively straightforward, but it has some new unsafe code (which re-uses battle tested BundlerSpawner code path).** 

---

## Changelog

- All `spawn` apis (`World::spawn`, `Commands:;spawn`, `ChildBuilder::spawn`, and `WorldChildBuilder::spawn`) now accept a bundle as input
- All instances of `spawn_bundle` have been deprecated in favor of the new `spawn` api
- World and Commands now have `spawn_empty()`, which is equivalent to the old `spawn()` behavior.  

## Migration Guide

```rust
// Old (0.8):
commands
  .spawn()
  .insert_bundle((A, B, C));
// New (0.9)
commands.spawn((A, B, C));

// Old (0.8):
commands.spawn_bundle((A, B, C));
// New (0.9)
commands.spawn((A, B, C));

// Old (0.8):
let entity = commands.spawn().id();
// New (0.9)
let entity = commands.spawn_empty().id();

// Old (0.8)
let entity = world.spawn().id();
// New (0.9)
let entity = world.spawn_empty();

6c5403cf47 Add warning when a hierarchy component is missing (#5590)
# Objective

A common pitfall since 0.8 is the requirement on `ComputedVisibility`
being present on all ancestors of an entity that itself has
`ComputedVisibility`, without which, the entity becomes invisible.

I myself hit the issue and got very confused, and saw a few people hit
it as well, so it makes sense to provide a hint of what to do when such
a situation is encountered.

- Fixes #5849
- Closes #5616
- Closes #2277 
- Closes #5081

## Solution

We now check that all entities with both a `Parent` and a
`ComputedVisibility` component have parents that themselves have a
`ComputedVisibility` component.

Note that the warning is only printed once.

We also add a similar warning to `GlobalTransform`.

This only emits a warning. Because sometimes it could be an intended
behavior.

Alternatives:
- Do nothing and keep repeating to newcomers how to avoid recurring
  pitfalls
- Make the transform and visibility propagation tolerant to missing
  components (#5616)
- Probably archetype invariants, though the current draft would not
  allow detecting that kind of errors

---

## Changelog

- Add a warning when encountering dubious component hierarchy structure

992681b59b Make Resource trait opt-in, requiring #[derive(Resource)] V2 (#5577)
*This PR description is an edited copy of #5007, written by @alice-i-cecile.*
# Objective
Follow-up to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/2254. The `Resource` trait currently has a blanket implementation for all types that meet its bounds.

While ergonomic, this results in several drawbacks:

* it is possible to make confusing, silent mistakes such as inserting a function pointer (Foo) rather than a value (Foo::Bar) as a resource
* it is challenging to discover if a type is intended to be used as a resource
* we cannot later add customization options (see the [RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/27-derive-component.md) for the equivalent choice for Component).
* dependencies can use the same Rust type as a resource in invisibly conflicting ways
* raw Rust types used as resources cannot preserve privacy appropriately, as anyone able to access that type can read and write to internal values
* we cannot capture a definitive list of possible resources to display to users in an editor
## Notes to reviewers
 * Review this commit-by-commit; there's effectively no back-tracking and there's a lot of churn in some of these commits.
   *ira: My commits are not as well organized :')*
 * I've relaxed the bound on Local to Send + Sync + 'static: I don't think these concerns apply there, so this can keep things simple. Storing e.g. a u32 in a Local is fine, because there's a variable name attached explaining what it does.
 * I think this is a bad place for the Resource trait to live, but I've left it in place to make reviewing easier. IMO that's best tackled with https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4981.

## Changelog
`Resource` is no longer automatically implemented for all matching types. Instead, use the new `#[derive(Resource)]` macro.

## Migration Guide
Add `#[derive(Resource)]` to all types you are using as a resource.

If you are using a third party type as a resource, wrap it in a tuple struct to bypass orphan rules. Consider deriving `Deref` and `DerefMut` to improve ergonomics.

`ClearColor` no longer implements `Component`. Using `ClearColor` as a component in 0.8 did nothing.
Use the `ClearColorConfig` in the `Camera3d` and `Camera2d` components instead.

63fee2572b ParamSet for conflicting SystemParam:s (#2765)
# Objective
Add a system parameter `ParamSet` to be used as container for conflicting parameters.

## Solution
Added two methods to the SystemParamState trait, which gives the access used by the parameter. Did the implementation. Added some convenience methods to FilteredAccessSet. Changed `get_conflicts` to return every conflicting component instead of breaking on the first conflicting `FilteredAccess`.

ffecb05a0a Replace old renderer with new renderer (#3312)
This makes the [New Bevy Renderer](#2535) the default (and only) renderer. The new renderer isn't _quite_ ready for the final release yet, but I want as many people as possible to start testing it so we can identify bugs and address feedback prior to release.

The examples are all ported over and operational with a few exceptions:

* I removed a good portion of the examples in the `shader` folder. We still have some work to do in order to make these examples possible / ergonomic / worthwhile: #3120 and "high level shader material plugins" are the big ones. This is a temporary measure.
* Temporarily removed the multiple_windows example: doing this properly in the new renderer will require the upcoming "render targets" changes. Same goes for the render_to_texture example.
* Removed z_sort_debug: entity visibility sort info is no longer available in app logic. we could do this on the "render app" side, but i dont consider it a priority.

b3cd48228b add detailed errors (#2994)
# Objective

- Improve error descriptions and help understand how to fix them
- I noticed one today that could be expanded, it seemed like a good starting point

## Solution

- Start something like https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes
- Remove sentence about Rust mutability rules which is not very helpful in the error message

I decided to start the error code with B for Bevy so that they're not confused with error code from rust (which starts with E)


Longer term, there are a few more evolutions that can continue this:
- the code samples should be compiled check, and even executed for some of them to check they have the correct error code in a panic
- the error could be build on a page in the website like https://doc.rust-lang.org/error-index.html
- most panic should have their own error code
