New node blending does not seem to work.
Comments
I've verified that ColorfulCircles runs fine. The NPE and crash on running ShowBlendModes is tracked by RT-16053.

The good news is that this looks like it is now "working". The bad news is that we are seeing some odd exceptions and some incorrect blending in some of the modes only on Mac (the ES2 pipeline on Windows does not have the same problems). Once we nail down the Mac-specific issues we will file new Jira issues and close this out with appropriate dependencies.

The root cause is that node blending relies on render to texture, and the ES2 pipeline only enables render to texture (stable back buffer) when dirtyopts=true. See RT-15319.

Now that RT-13728 is fixed, it may now be possible to enable this.
