T67128: Cycles Viewport Rendering Shading Options

Summary

Implementation to use Cycles in the look dev mode. It supports the main
features that EEVEE provides. The main difference is that we don't blur the background.

Display Pause button when cycles is used in lookdev
Do not sync scene lights based on the look dev setting
Create a custom world based on the look dev settings
When switching between cycles/eevee look dev the state is kept so it is easy to compare the results of both render engines.
Ignore transparency settings when rendering in look dev mode

We discussed this on Blender.chat:

Here's how we think we will solve this:

The Shading popover for rendered view is empty currently
For this reason, and because we want LookDev to respect the renderer anyway, it actually makes sense for us to move all LookDev settings into Rendered view as options inside the Shading popover. LookDev viewport shading mode is then not needed anymore
This will then always respect the current renderer
For Cycles, it's still useful to use Eevee as a way to preview lighting and such, but this is not really LookDev-related. For this reason, we keep a separate special shading mode called Shading Preview (Name?) specifically for using Eevee to preview Cycles scenes. This is not needed for Eevee.
