Version 0.5.5: Replace CML math library with HLSL++, Expand test coverage

[egorodet]

Methane Kit v0.5 Pre-Release Update 5

• Common libraries:
  • Replaced CML math library with HLSL++ to improve math performance with SSE/AVX/NEON vector-instructions (close Replace math library with vector instructions implementation #78).
  • Replaced UnexpectedEnumArgumentException with UnexpectedArgumentException applicable to different types. Check macros was renamed accordingly from META_UNEXPECTED_ENUM_ARG_* to META_UNEXPECTED_ARG_*.
  • Removed const modifiers from exception members to enable generation of move constructors.
• Data libraries:
  • RawVector template class was added as a replacement of cml::vector for dense-packed components storage used in vertex attributes.
  • Point template class now use underlying HLSL++ vector; multiplication/division operators were fixed.
  • Rect and RectSize, Volume and VolumeSize classes were refactored. Made class fields private, available through accessors.
  • Constants template class was added with math constants.
• Graphics libraries:
  • Color template class was rewritten from scratch and now can use both integer and floating point components via underlying HLSL++ vector storage.
  • ArcBallCamera issues were found by improved unit-tests and fixed.
  • SphereMesh generation was simplified with matrix-free implementation.
  • Fixed missing debug names of graphics resources (regression of previous refactoring).
  • Fixed mip-levels count in depth texture descriptor for DirectX12.
  • Fixed limited rendering FPS with VSync turned OFF on Nvidia GPUs with latest drivers (Jan 2021).
  • Enabled naming of Tracy GPU contexts (unforturnately, now it works only when TRACY_ON_DEMAN is disabled).
• Unit-tests coverage was expanded from 5.7% to 13%:
  • RawVector, Point new template classes were covered with unit-tests.
  • Rect and RectSize, Volume and VolumeSize existing template classes were covered with unit-tests.
  • Color template class was covered with unit-tests.
  • UnitType template class was covered with unit tests.
  • UserInterface::Context class unit convertors were covered with unit tests.
  • FakeRenderContext class was added to UI unit-testing infrastructure.
  • Replace deprecated ParseAndAddCatchTests CMake function with catch_discover_tests to fix Catch warnings.
• External libraries:
  • HLSL++ library was added
  • CML library was removed
  • Catch2 was updated to v2.13.4
  • Tracy was updated to v0.7.6
  • CLI11 library was updated to v1.9.1
  • CMRC library was updated to latest version.
  • FMT library was updated to v7.1.3
  • Taskflow library was updated to v3.0.0
• Samples and tutorials:
  • Migrated tutorials and samples to using HLSL++ vector math, used instead of CML.
  • Removed explicit alignment of uniform structure fields, which is not required anymore for HLSL++ types, since they already use 16-bytes aligned data storage.
  • Updated tutorials documentation to reflect code changes.
• Build Infrastructure:
  • Do not fail build when some unit tests fail or Sonar Scanner jobs fail with error.
  • Publish Sonar Scanner error reproducer to build artifacts in case of scan failure.
  • Fix Sonar Scanner cache invalidation by adding plugin version to cache key.
