This patch refactors the instance-realization code and adds new functionality.
* Named and anonymous attributes are propagated from instances to the
realized geometry. If the same attribute exists on the geometry and on an
instance, the attribute on the geometry has precedence.
* The id attribute has special handling to avoid creating the same id on many
output points. This is necessary to make e.g. the Random Value node work
as expected afterwards.
Realizing instance attributes has an effect on existing files, especially due to the
id attribute. To avoid breaking existing files, the Realize Instances node now has
a legacy option that is enabled for all already existing Realize Instances nodes.
Removing this legacy behavior does affect some existing files (although not many).
We can decide whether it's worth to remove the old behavior as a separate step.
This refactor also improves performance when realizing instances. That is mainly
due to multi-threading. See D13446 to get the file used for benchmarking. The
curve code is not as optimized as it could be yet. That's mainly because the storage
for these attributes might change soonish and it wasn't worth optimizing for the
current storage format right now.
```
1,000,000 x mesh vertex: 530 ms -> 130 ms
1,000,000 x simple cube: 1290 ms -> 190 ms
1,000,000 x point: 1000 ms -> 150 ms
1,000,000 x curve spiral: 1740 ms -> 330 ms
1,000,000 x curve line: 1110 ms -> 210 ms
10,000 x subdivided cylinder: 170 ms -> 40 ms
10 x subdivided spiral: 180 ms -> 180 ms
```

- Added space below non doc-string comments to make it clear
these aren't comments for the symbols directly below them.
- Use doxy sections for some headers.
- Minor improvements to doc-strings.

This commit removes the implicit conversion from points to a mesh
that used to happen before the next modifier. It also removes the
implicit realizing of instances that happened before another modifier.
Now we have specific nodes for both of these operations, the
implicit conversions make less sense, and implicit instance
realizing has already been removed in other nodes.
This adds another geometry nodes modifier before modifiers that would
have realized instances implicitly before. Currently adding another
data-block during versioning after linking means that an assert needs
to be changed. That should be made unnecessary by T92333.

The object info node output an instance as a performance optimization.
Before that optimization was (almost) invisible to the user, but now
that we aren't automatically realizing instances, it isn't intuitive
for a single object to become an instance.
I refactored the transform node so its ability to translate/transform
an entire geometry set was more usable from elsewhere and exposed the
function to get a geometry set from an object.

The previous commit added a new method to the same in a better way.
|
|
This adds three new methods:
* `InstancesComponent::foreach_reference_as_geometry(...)`
* `GeometrySet::attribute_foreach(...)`
* `GeometrySet::gather_attributes_for_propagation(...)`
The goal is that these iteration primitives can be used in places
where we use more specialized iterators currently.

This implements the initial core framework for fields and anonymous
attributes (also see T91274).
The new functionality is hidden behind the "Geometry Nodes Fields"
feature flag. When enabled in the user preferences, the following
new nodes become available: `Position`, `Index`, `Normal`,
`Set Position` and `Attribute Capture`.
Socket inspection has not been updated to work with fields yet.
Besides these changes at the user level, this patch contains the
ground work for:
* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
(`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).
For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.
A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.
Hans and I worked on this patch together.

Previously only attributes of "real" geometry were displayed in
attribute search. This commit adds code to look through attributes
on instances and add those to the search drop-down too.
This required implementing the same sort of recursive traversal as
the realize instances code. The situation is a bit different though,
this can return early and doesn't need to keep track of transforms.
I added a limit so that it doesn't look through the attributes of
too many instanced geometry sets. I think this is important, since
this isn't a trivial operation and it could potentially happen for
every node in a large node tree. Currently the limit is set at 8
geometry sets, which I expect will be enough, since the set of
attributes is mostly not very unique anyway.

The function name was not very specific, this makes it clearer that it
works on instances rather than only real geometry. Also use `r_`
prefix for the return argument.
|
|
This will allow retrieving the instance groups from multiple geometry
sets and avoiding needing vectors of vectors to store the results.
This is useful when retrieving instances from a multi-input socket
of geometries.
|
|
"Kind" is a bit less generic than "Info" for me. Especially, it implies
that the struct does not contain the name of a specific attribute
(for me anyway).

Previously, when a Geometry Nodes modifier outputs a point cloud
(e.g. generated using the Point Distribute node), other modifiers
could not use that data. Now, the point cloud data is converted to
mesh vertices for such modifiers.

I need to access this functionality from modifier code. Therefore it should
not be in the nodes module.
|
|
In an upcoming commit I'll also move the make-instances-real functionality
to this file. This code is not essential to working with geometry sets in general,
so it makes sense to move it to a separate header.
