This commit is a big overhaul to the Mikktspace module, which is used
to compute tangents. I'm not calling it a rewrite since it's the
result of a lot of iterations on the original code, but pretty much
everything is reworked somehow.
Overall goal was to a) make it faster and b) make it maintainable.
Notable changes:
- Since the callbacks for requesting geometry data were a big
bottleneck before, I've ported it to C++ and made it header-only,
templating on the data source. That way, the compiler generates code
specific to the caller, which allows it to inline the data source and
specialize for some cases (e.g. subd vs. non-subd in Cycles).
- The one input parameter, an optional angle threshold, was not used
anywhere. Turns out that removing it allows for considerable
algorithmic simplification, removing a lot of the complexity in the
later stages. Therefore, I've just removed the option in the new code.
- The code computes several outputs, but only one (the tangent itself)
is ever used in Blender. Therefore, I've removed the others to
simplify the code. They could easily be brought back if needed, none
of the algorithmic simplifications are conflicting with them.
- The original code had fallback paths for many steps in case temporary
memory allocation fails, but that never actually gets used anyways
since malloc() doesn't really ever return NULL in practise, so I
removed them.
- In general, I've restructured A LOT of the code to make the
algorithms clearer and make use of some C++ features (vectors,
std::array, booleans, classes), though there's still some of cleanup
that could be done.
- Parallelized duplicate detection, neighbor detection, triangle
tangent computation, degenerate triangle handling and tangent space
accumulation.
- Replaced several algorithms with faster equivalents: Duplicate
detection uses a (concurrent) hash set now, neighbor detection uses
Radixsort and splits vertices by index pairs etc.
As for results, the exact speedup depends on the scene of course, but
let's consider the file from T97378:
- Blender 3.1 (before D14675): 6.07sec
- Blender 3.2 (with D14675): 4.62sec
- rBf0a36599007d (last nightly build): 4.42sec
- With this commit: 0.90sec
This speedup will mostly be noticed at the start of Cycles renders and,
even more importantly, in Eevee when doing something that changes the
geometry (e.g. animating) on a model using normal maps.

Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.

While most of the source tree has been included
- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they

No functional change, this adds LIB definition and args to cmake files.
Without this it's difficult to migrate away from 'BLENDER_SORTED_LIBS'
since there are many platforms/configurations that could break when
changing linking order.
Manually add and enable WITHOUT_SORTED_LIBS to try building
without sorted libs (currently fails since all variables are empty).
This check will eventually be removed.

This also keeps blenkernel clean(er) from extra math functions.
