RemoteServer timedout due to VK_Leak_Check taking too long before sending commands to remote server. Spawning a worker thread to keeping the remote server connection alive fixes the disconnection issue.
Similar to the validation that is performed in ShaderViewer UI
Disabled by default pass True to process_trace to enable the validation
Includes validate_shadervariable() and shadervariable_equal()
* Most of the main entry points that can fail with relevant reasons now has a
way of specifying a message to return with it. This message can be displayed
to the user to give more information or context about an error.
* There's not a good accepted terminology for this kind of event, and for
historical reasons 'drawcall' has been the accepted term, even though
that can be quite confusing when a dispatch or a copy is a 'drawcall'.
* This is particularly highlighted by the event browser filters where
$draw() includes draws and dispatches, but $dispatch() only includes
dispatches, it's hard to intuitively understand why $draw() matches all
of these calls.
* As a result we've defined the term 'action' to cover these types of
events in the same way that we defined 'event' in the first place to
mean a single atomic API call.
* These map more naturally to python tuples and are easier to wrap in and out.
* We also tidy up the FloatVecVal etc and standardise the members of
ShaderValue.
* This is useful for large tests like Mesh_Zoo and Texture_Zoo which are API
independent, which can derive from TestCase to get all the helpers, but then
not get auto-added until an API-specific test derives from them
* This doesn't test every edge case, but it is a simple smoke test that ensures
any format can at least get consistent accurate results out.
* Further work is needed to test the different failures, overdraws, primitive
IDs, and all the other specific checks in the history.
* The builtin is more directly useful but the signature index allows us to match
up inputs and outputs that don't have a builtin meaning (pure interpolators).
* It's not particularly scalable and can be brittle to driver changes, and we
can use targeted specific pixel tests to check what we really want - to see if
the output has rendered correctly.
* Overlay tests still check files directly - this is a future refactor to
remove.
