[Bf-viewport] Updates for the week of May 30th - June 6th

[Khalifa Lame]

I can only contribute from an artistic point of view here, as I know almost
nothing about blender's rendering code or internal architecture. Just
wanted to mention a point that doesn't seem obvious from the discussion so

Though I agree that the realtime renderer should be an independent
renderer, I also think it needs to perform the functions of the current
opengl preview renderer. Meaning that even when other renderers are in use,
it should be available as a preview renderer and it should approximate the
current renderer's materials albeit in a simplified manner without exposing
its own advanced settings.

The advanced settings of the realtime renderer would then only be
accessible when it is the chosen renderer and not when it's relegated to
just a preview renderer.
