• EEVEE-Next: Expose Fast GI ray and step count

This allow to reduce the amount of noise and reduce
the lost energy caused by low thickness and large
stride (low sample count).

Actual number of rays is twice the UI count.

• EEVEE-Next: Add option to turn off GI

This new Method property allows to replace Diffuse GI
by simple ambient occlusion. This can be desirable for
performance or look.

This doesn't add the memory savings but there are already
some performance gain by using this option.

• EEVEE-Next: Add fast GI max distance

This is implemented as a separate parameter from AO
since the AO can be tweaked for the AO pass.

While at it, 26.2.3 Editors - Properties Editor - Render Properties Tab - EEVEE-Next.odt needs a rename. Eeevee next became Eevee again.
